ABOVE: The top row is what I can't live without! I love that camcorder, and I'm happy I got it.  The Boya microphones were a recommendation by Think Media (great channel for aspiring YouTubers). They are wonderful, especially for the price.  On the left, the microphone is used not with my phone but with the Panasonic camcorder.  I'm happy with how it works.  Very happy.  You need a microphone that takes batteries if you get a camcorder; the camcorder doesn't power a microphone.  

BELOW: I still use that Joby tripod.  Sometimes it's not as study as I like, but I'd get it again.  It wraps around tree branches withen I'm outside.  The DJI tripod works great, I just rarely use it.   The drone is fun to use and gets great video.  I hope to start using it more often in the spring.  I'm happy I found it at a used camera store for a great deal.
