TMZ Deals has put together an Amazon creator starter pack aimed at people shooting phone photos and videos without a production crew, with picks ranging from lighting to audio to storage.
The roundup says TMZ may receive a share of sales or other compensation from links on the page. It also notes that prices and availability can change.
The list is built for everyday content: outfit photos, TikToks, “get ready with me” videos, travel clips, group shots and cleaner camera-roll moments, according to TMZ Deals.
What is in the Amazon creator starter pack?
The Amazon creator starter pack highlighted by TMZ Deals includes a magnetic selfie stick tripod, a clip-on phone light, a ring light, a DJI Osmo phone gimbal, an electronics organizer pouch, a Mini Mic Pro and a phone camera lens kit.
In plain terms, the list covers the basics creators often need: a way to hold the phone, a way to brighten the shot, a way to smooth video movement, a way to improve sound and a place to keep cords and small accessories together.
- TONEOF 68-inch Magnetic Selfie Stick Tripod: TMZ Deals describes this as a stand-in photographer for solo shooting, group photos, travel content, TikToks and outfit pictures. The roundup highlights its magnetic phone mount and adjustable height.
- Clip-On Phone Light: TMZ Deals says this small light can be attached to a phone for selfies, videos and makeup shots, with adjustable brightness.
- Ring Light: The roundup points to this as a familiar creator tool for brightening a setup, reducing shadows and giving desk videos, makeup routines and video calls a more polished look.
Which tools help phone videos look better?
For steadier footage, TMZ Deals singles out the DJI Osmo Gimbal Stabilizer. The roundup says it helps keep phone shots steady while moving and can be used for travel clips, walking videos, tutorials and social posts.
TMZ Deals also says the gimbal has advanced tracking that can help keep a person in frame, which can cut down on repeated takes while filming solo.
For audio, the list includes the Mini Mic Pro. TMZ Deals says the small microphone is meant for TikToks, interviews, voiceovers and GRWM videos, and can make speech sound clearer than audio captured from farther away.
What accessories keep a creator kit organized?
The Electronic Organizer Accessory Pouch is the behind-the-scenes pick in the roundup. TMZ Deals says it can hold chargers, cords, adapters, memory cards, portable chargers, mini mics and other small gear.
The final item, a Phone Camera Lens Kit, is presented as a way to give a phone camera more range without buying a separate camera. TMZ Deals says different lenses can be used for wider shots, close-up details and more creative angles.
TMZ Deals also directs readers to its broader deals page and includes a link to sign up for Amazon Prime, saying Prime can be used to get deals.
