Just like in every business/job/activity, having the right tools (YouTube equipment), will greatly facilitate the process of achieving success.

So if you want to start a YouTube Channel in Cameroon to gain tons of subscribers, attract sponsorship from brands and make huge amount of money from your YouTube Channel via Google Adsense & affiliate marketing, then you need to buy essential tools that will make it easy for you to achieve your goal.

Nowadays, the competition on YouTube is extremely high i.e. there are tons of top notch quality videos on YouTube on almost every subject/topic and because of this, to stand out (get noticed) on YouTube, you don’t only need to possess a good knowledge of your niche… but also need to produce top-notch quality videos in order to stand a chance of attracting tons of subscribers, get sponsorship from brands and start making money from your YouTube channel in Cameroon.

Internet data is still very expensive in Cameroon (as of May,2020) and many Cameroonians can’t afford to watch a poor quality video on YouTube with their precious internet data (not when there are tons of better alternatives available on YouTube & many more are being uploaded on a daily basis).

So it’s very essential that you produce top notch quality YouTube videos.

The good news is, nowadays the essential equipment needed to make cinematic quality YouTube videos, are very very cheap.

Yes! you read that right, VERY CHEAP!

A lot of Cameroonian YouTubers think that they need loads of expensive equipment to be able make top notch quality YouTube videos like the American YouTubers and that’s just not true.

It may surprise you to know that it won’t cost you more than 70,000frs to buy all the essential YouTube equipment needed to film top notch quality YouTube videos like the American YouTubers… and you can buy the 3 essential YouTube equipment on Amazon from Cameroon.

These are the 3 essential YouTube Equipment….

1) A Good Microphone for Recording Your Voice.

Nowadays, filming YouTube videos with good images is no longer a big deal due to the fact that today’s generation’s phones (especially Iphones and most Samsung phones) can now shoot videos in 1080P HD resolution (which is good enough for YouTube) …HOWEVER! the built in microphone in most mobile phones is very poor i.e. it doesn’t record voice effectively and this has made YouTube videos recorded with mobile phones sound amateurish and doesn’t fit today’s standards for Youtube.

Listen!

When it comes to producing top notch quality YouTube videos, clear and loud vocals (good sound quality) matters far more than good picture quality (visuals).

So it doesn’t matter if your videos were recorded in HD 1080P at 30fps or super bright 4K resolution (with the best ring light), if the vocals (sound quality) of your YouTube videos is not loud and clear, many people (your target audience) will find it difficult to watch your YouTube videos (talk less of subscribing to your channel) and this will make it hard for you to achieve your goal as a Cameroonian YouTuber.

In my opinion, poor sound quality is the number one cause of slow growth on YouTube. This is because, it is an issue (impediment) which is often under looked (neglected) by many Cameroonian YouTubers.

In fact there are many Cameroonian Youtubers who  still don’t know or don’t believe that poor sound quality could be the reason why many people are not subscribing to their YouTube channel. Everyday, they are scratching their heads or wigs (in frustration) and wondering why they are not getting subscribers or why their growth on YouTube is very slow.

Listen!

My sister or brother, if you have been consistently publishing good content on YouTube (on a weekly basis) for more than 6 months but still haven’t gained more than 1000 subscribers and recorded more than 4000 hours of watch time, check the sound quality of your YouTube videos before you can start blaming the old people in your village.

Many people can tolerate a video with a poor picture quality (recorded in 144P resolution in a bad lighting situation) but they can’t tolerate a YouTube video with poor sound quality.

Listen!

80 percent of YouTube users, watch videos to get information and 90% of information comes from the vocals and not from the visuals.

Another reason why the picture quality of videos doesn’t matter too much to YouTube users, is because the minds of humans has the ability to create its own mental pictures if presented with detail information. This explains why during the 80’s, many Cameroonians could listen to Zachary Nkwo’s football commentaries on CRTV (radio) with so much excitement like the people watching the LIVE football match on TV or spectators in the stadium.

On the other hand, many Cameroonians will not watch a video with sound muted.

Listen! a fancy camera and other YouTube equipment are essential but not “indispensable” when you are starting a YouTube channel. What is very essential (indispensable) is a good microphone.

A Hollywood standard camera, ring light and other YouTube equipment, might come in handy in a long run but for a start, they are not indispensable. In other words, it’s okay for your earliest YouTube videos to be a little bit amateurish in picture quality but not in sound quality.

Its also needless to focus your energy on producing videos with high resolution (but on producing videos with good sound quality) because many Cameroonians (living in Cameroon) usually stream videos on YouTube, in 144P resolution (which is the lowest video quality and the default (auto) picture quality offered by YouTube).

In addition to that, most Cameroonians deliberately choose to stream YouTube videos in the lowest picture quality(144P) in order to manage their internet data.

In case you don’t know, super bright video qualities like the 1080P HD and 720P are too expensive to stream (they rapidly consumes internet data).

For example, a 5 minutes long Youtube video, of 1080P HD resolution, will cost atleast, 300 Megabyte of internet data, to stream.

This means that, the internet data, of Cameroonians (your target audience), can get finished (in a twinkle) of an eye, after watching just, a single HD quality video on YouTube.

So if your target audience are Cameroonians, then good picture quality shouldn’t be your top priority but good sound quality.

Listen! a Cameroonian Youtuber who uses an external microphone and a cheap 25,000frs CHIRONKO SMARTPHONE (that shoots videos in 480p resolution), can produce better quality YouTube videos than a Cameroonian YouTuber who is filming videos with the latest Iphone (without a microphone).

If the picture quality of your videos are super bright but YouTube can’t hear what you are saying, what do you expect them to do in this situation??? leave right???. You don’t expect YouTube users to buy Amplifiers or woofers just to watch your YouTube videos.

The same rule also applies to TV stations, many Cameroonians will not spend more than 60 seconds on a TV channel with very poor sound quality irrespective of how interesting a TV program is, but can comfortably watch a TV program with poor picture quality as long as they can clearly get what a journalist or panelists are saying.

Like i mention earlier, more than 90% of information lies in the vocals and not in the visuals or picture quality.

Another reason why the sound quality of your YouTube videos needs to be of top notch quality (loud and clear with little or no background noise) is because the 21st century humans have a very short attention span and so, If the sound quality of your YouTube videos is bad, many people will watch your YouTube videos just for few minutes and then leave without completely watching your videos till the end.

So if you are filming YouTube videos which are more than 10 minutes long, then the sound quality of your videos needs to be loud and clear, in order to keep viewers focus or else they will leave without watching till the end.

It should be noted that when YouTube notice that many people are not watching your videos till the end, it gives them the impression that the content you are publishing on your YouTube channel is not valuable or relevant… and this will make it difficult for Youtube to display your vlogs in the YouTube search results when people search for information related to your niche or recommend your YouTube videos to YouTube users. If this happens, your videos will always record limited number of views.

Simply put, watch time is the number one factor which YouTube uses to judge the quality of content in order to provide the best search results for YouTube users.

Do not allow YouTube users to give Google a wrong impression about your videos.

Apart from the aforementioned fact, to be able to produce YouTube videos that will stand the test of time, you need to record YouTube videos with clear and loud voice (with little or no background noise).

I have seen so many Cameroonian YouTube channels with tons of videos and the sound quality of those videos are extremely poor.

The $25,000 questions which i always present to those ignorant Cameroonian YouTubers is, will these videos be able to stand the test of time???.

In other words, will people be able to appreciate the quality of your YouTube videos in 2035???.

To easily get the answer to the above question, ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION; How does the old black and white videos/movies recorded in the 1950’s look like in 2020??? awkward right??? That is how your YouTube videos (with poor sound quality) look like in 5 to 10 yrs to come (with rapid change in technology).

So many (so called) Cameroonian YouTube experts (bloggers) will tell you that to start a your YouTube channel, all you need, is a phone with a good camera and that you can later buy a good microphone and fancy camera after you have started making money from your YouTube channel.

Let me ask you this simple question again!

After you have recorded tons of videos with poor sound quality with your phone, will you be able to re-record the the videos again after buying a good microphone and camera???.

However for people who want to start a YouTube Channel as a hobby or to share their personal/home videos (with no intention of gaining tons of subscribers or get sponsorship deals ), all they need, to start a YouTube channel, is just a phone which can record videos in 720p HD resolution. This category of people shouldn’t care too much about producing top notch quality YouTube videos (with loud and clear vocals).

But for people like you; who wish to produce YouTube videos that will attract tons of subscribers, get sponsorship from products and brands… and also stand a chance of making money via Google Adsense and affiliate marketing, you need to record videos with good sound quality (loud and clear vocals) and good picture quality too.

YouTube users should be able to watch your YouTube videos without increasing their volume to max or use headphones or struggle to read subtitles in order to get what you are saying.

Recording super bright HD quality YouTube videos with poor sound quality, is like building a beautiful house on a poor foundation. In other words you are simply wasting your time, energy and knowledge because many people will not watch your videos (not when there are tons of good alternatives available and more to come).

Poor sound quality, could possibly be the reason why only 20% of your subscribers are watching your YouTube videos.

Take note! i’m not saying that mobile phones are not good for filming YouTube videos. What i,m trying to say is that, you need to buy an external microphone to replace the poor built in microphone in your phone before you can start a making YouTube videos ( in order to produce top notch (excellent) YouTube videos).

I mean, the built in microphone in your phone which you often use to answer phone calls or use for Facebook Live, is not good for filming YouTube videos. You need a better mic!

A good microphone will transform your mobile phone in to a professional YouTube gadget and there won’t be any “urgent” need for you to buy a fancy camera.

A good camera phone +  a good microphone = TOP NOTCH QUALITY YOUTUBE VIDEOS & TONS OF SUBSCRIBERS & SPONSORS.

Somebody may likely want to ask, Which Microphone Should i buy to film YouTube Videos with loud and clear sound with my Iphone and other smartphones????

Nowadays, there are many cheap but very effective lavalier lapel microphones which will enable new YouTubers (on a tight budget) to film YouTube videos with very loud and clear vocals (sound) using mobile phones.

  • MOST LAVALIER MICROPHONES ARE OMNIDIRECTIONAL;  Lavalier microphones are highly sought after by Youtubers because they are omnidirectional mics.

2) Tripod for your Mobile Phone

Another essential YouTube equipment which every serious Cameroonian YouTuber must have in order to produce great quality cinematic video with a mobile phone , is a tripod.

If you’re new to vlogging, you are probably wondering what a tripod is or why a tripod is necessary.

A Tripod is a device used to hold a phone or camera in a fix position while filming YouTube videos. Simply put, a Tripod, is a device that keeps your phone or Camera in a steady position while recording YouTube videos or doing Facebook or Instagram live streaming.

There is one main reason why everybody filming YouTube videos with a phone or other mobile device, needs a Tripod; which is, to maintain Stability of image while filming YouTube videos in any environment.

One of the main concerns as a vlogger is to be able to keep a smooth image while walking around with your camera. Holding your camera on a tripod or stick helps a bit with stability so your image won’t move around so much.

Gone are the days of stacking books to use as a Tripod or balancing it on a desk in an attempt to stabilize your videos (or filming YouTube videos with a shaky hand).

Nowadays there are many good Tripods which you can use to hold your phone in a fix position while filming YouTube videos to keep a smooth and stable image.

Recommended Tripod for YouTubers on a tight budget

3) Ring Light for Filming Cinematic Quality Videos…

The 3rd essential equipment which every Cameroonian YouTuber (especially the make up and beauty vloggers) must buy in order to film cinematic quality YouTube videos is a ring light.

A ring light is a circle light which is used by most YouTubers, Photographers,Makeup Artists and videographers as a source of light to produce top notch quality videos and images in dark areas (especially at night).

For those of you who don’t know, a camera needs a lot more light (whether artificial or natural) in order to film quality videos and shoot bright photographs (especially when shooting  YouTube videos indoors).

When a camera doesn’t receive enough light, it increases its sensibility to light to be able to capture the moment, and that affects the resulting image…that’s why you want to have enough light so your camera can use the lowest sensibility possible, so the ​image looks as faithful to reality as it’s possible.

The main reason why your camera might seem like it’s not recording high-quality videos even though its recording at 1080p, is the lack of lighting.

So to always get quality pictures indoors with your phone, you should increase the number of lighting sources either by using lots of windows or by using a ring light; which provides just the necessary light required to film quality YouTube videos indoors with a mobile phone.

A lot of Cameroonian YouTubers have wide windows at home that they use for their lighting, so they don’t have to bother about setting up lighting.

However, recording indoors without enough windows—even if it’s during a clear and sunny day—is not enough to capture the highest image quality your camera is capable of.

Nowadays, many Pro YouTubers around the world rely on ring light (artificial light) owing to the fact that natural light (sun light) is random and hard to achieve a good result with, especially if you’re working alone. i.e. for you to effectively use natural light to film cinematic videos, you need the right place, and you will have to record during the day. You’ll also have to pray that the day you are planning to record is not rainy or darker than usual.

The other problem with natural light is that all your YouTube videos will look slightly different because it will all depend on the intensity of the light of the day you recorded the videos.

Unlike natural light (sun light), with artificial light (ring light), you can record a super bright video even at midnight and nobody will notice.

Ring lights have been specifically designed to provide just the necessary intensity of light needed to film quality YouTube videos indoors.

Lack of ring light could possibly be the reason why your videos look poor in quality as compared to other videos filmed by YouTubers who are using the same Iphone you are using to film YouTube videos. Their videos may appear brighter than yours because they are using ring lights.

To cut a long story short, a ring light is very essential to YouTubers who wants to record videos with extremely good picture quality.

Ring lights are mostly used by the make up Youtubers, who wants their viewers to pay attention to every details in their video or clearly see what they are doing.

For example if you are doing make up vlogs, you will want viewers to clearly see how you are applying various make up products on your face and the end result.

Ring Light creates an even light all around your face without having to use more light sources. So it’s practical and can clean your face of any shadow.

They make your face look really bright, so they are perfect for makeup work.

Why Every Beauty and Make up YouTuber needs a ring light.

If you are showing some type of work on someone’s face—like makeup—, you don’t want shadows. That’s when using a ring light is best.

How to properly use a Ring light to film top notch quality videos with Your Phone

Like i mentioned earlier, the best use of the ring light is to achieve shadow-less lighting.

And to achieve a shadowless look with them, the lens of your phone should sit in the middle of the light source and you should always put the ring light in front of your face or subject. This will help to showcase your face very bright and very attractive. If you don’t, the ring light will create some hard shadows on their face that won’t make things look clean.


Ring light and other artificial source of light are equally as good as the natural light. Oftentimes, we have watched so many LIVE fpotball matches played in the night but we find it difficult to notice any blemish in the picture quality due to proper lighting from an artificial source. This is the most glaring example of how effective artificial source of light can be.

After reading about the benefits of having a ring light, you might be scratching your head and wondering what ring light to buy as a Cameroonian YouTuber…

Recommended Ring Light for Cameroonian YouTubers…

Take note! the most essential of all the 3 recommended YouTube equipments, is the Lavalier microphone. So if you don’t have enough money, you can buy just the Lavalier microphone which will cost you just 20,000 frs CFA and start your YouTube channel.
