A smartphone really is the most versatile option, I started with one too. But here's what I figured out while running my blog - it all depends on what exactly you're filming. If it's beauty, food, vlogs from home or just talking to the camera, then a phone will do great. But for more active content (sports, travel, extreme stuff) it's better to get something more compact and powerful.
I personally bought a DJI Osmo Mobile (a stabilizer with your phone) and don't regret it. It's not expensive, but it makes the footage way smoother and more professional. If your budget is really tight, you can just use a regular tripod with a phone remote - that'll help avoid all the shakiness. For video while moving around, action cameras like GoPro are really cool, but they're pricey, so think first about whether you actually need one or if it's just unnecessary money.
Main advice: don't get too hung up on equipment when you're starting out. Shoot with what you have, see what kind of content works best for your audience, and then invest in gear. I've seen bloggers with expensive cameras and boring content - so the idea and video quality matter way more than anything else.
A regular smartphone will do just fine for tiktok 📱 if you seriously wanna go all out, then an action camera like a GoPro or some cheaper chinese knockoff - they're pretty cool for dynamic content 😊
I agree that a smartphone is more than enough to start with - I shoot most of my content on an iPhone myself. But if you're talking about fitness content, then an action camera like a GoPro or DJI Osmo really does help - they handle stabilization well when you're moving and you can mount them anywhere, which gives you some cool angles. Though if your budget is tight, you can start with a smartphone that has good stabilization and a tripod, and then see later if you actually need a special camera.
