The right equipment to start a Vlog

[Billy Ross]

Hello BP community! I am going to start a youtube channel and do some videos for facebook, and I am wondering what is the best equipment to use while starting out. I know I will need a dslr camera, a mic, some kind of lighting and a tri-pod. I was wondering for those of you doing this what equipment are you currently using, what are some rookie mistakes I can avoid and what is a good training/teaching resource for a beginner in the Vlog sphere. Thank you all so much!!
