Camera
If you want to start your own YouTube walking tour channel, you’re going to need a camera. One of the cheapest and smallest cameras with impressive features for its price range is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3.
If you don’t want to hold the camera in your hand, you can mount it on your chest or a backpack strap for hands-free filming.
