well higher quality content does not always mean camera quality.
If anything I would take into consideration editing equipment first and see if you can create the video you are looking for. If you are able to create the content without the need for higher quality video, then I would do that first. I bought a high quality camera at first but I came to realize that I can still film, edit and post the content I want to make on my phone. However, if you are doing more heavy editing, I would suggest focusing on the editing equipment before the camera (Unless you are focusing heavily on the picture quality as content). What does the content boil down to?
Yes, indeed, top tier smarphones can film and photograph so well these days, that to overcame it noticeably, you got to go for a $3K -$6K semi-pro camera. (which probably will be heavy and bulky).
Considering how much MORE you can do on a powerful smarphone today, its size and portability, it's price and the specifics of dtube's audience - it is very hard to beat it.
Unless money is no object....
As this is not the case, I would stick with present video quality levels, but save every tiny bit of my cryptos for a better days.
Nothing can be more damaging for your future than selling your cryptos at the very bottom, before the next big bull run. Before the global catastrophic collapse of the FIAT money based world (already on the horizon)
Your wisdom is certainly deep dear @onealfa
That's exactly why I made this video... searching for advice :)
1 year ago SBD was exactly 15$ :)
$15 SBD was far from normal. That's why it kept at this price for so short time.
Learn the anatomy of steem , and you may see why the odds for steem to reach $20 is quite a bit higher that to see $10 for SBD again. Why not to change all the SBDs at least to steem (while it is so crazy cheap now), or better yet power-up them to SP, where it will work for you, appreciate in value, or as minimum can be rented, delegated, bringing returns while doing nothing?
Don't trust that much is Steem ? Ok, no probl, there are hundreds if not thousands of other coins to choose from. When everything is down by 70-95%, the risk of loosing your wealth (in large) with cryptos is now so low as never before.
Again, looking at your todays (shaky) video , i can not resist myself suggesting one more time - consider getting a 3-axis gimbal for phone. It would bring a dramatic improvement to your video's footage.
2 easiest ways to spoil a good video, even with great idea n content - make it very shaky, and with distorted, muffled, wind-over-masked audio
I do agree it was far from normal. But anatomy of STEEM was identical while it happened, right? Even though it looks like witnesses are putting lot more effort in to keep it pegged.
Thank you so much for your honest recommendation! May I take just a bit more of your time and ask which gimbal would you recommend to me?? I'll get on buying it ASAP :))

THe only reason SBD didn't stay at 15$ for a long time is the same why it got there. BTC
First, BTC soaring up brought SBD up to 15$ as Koreans pumped massive amounts of money into SBD. upwards of 10m in 24h volumes.
When BTC started it's downtrend so did SBD, and all other altcoins followed along as you might already know.
I see no reason why the next BTC bullrun wouldn't have the same effect on SBD that it had a year ago.
Great advice! I was thinking of good Ultra HD camera in order so I can film cinematic and get better picture quality in general, as you said^^
My mobile is not allowing me that... When you speak about editing equipment, what exactly are you referring to? Do you have any relevant links that you can share? I'd be glad to look into them! I'm all ears right now and I'm ready to invest in that equipment ASAP if that's what fits my needs :)
Well I did a quick google search for free editing software and came to this article. When I referred to editing equipement, I was thinking more along the lines of software.

The main thing I was wondering was what kind of content were you looking to expand into. If you are doing travel where the picture quality matters more than the editing, then yes go for a high quality camera. If you are doing something more scene, story driven or editing heavy like making a scene/movie/short, then think about the capabilities of the editing software. Are they able to control ambient noise? Do you have to sync audio with another device? Are there certain audio/visual effects you are trying to incorporate.
For me, I looked into the adobe platform and bought a subscription a while back and although it has allowed me to learn more on a technical level when it comes to cinematography, it is not completely necessary for me to spend so much money on all the software they provided when it comes to making my vlogs.
I can make my vlogs on my iphone and edit them with imovie to the degree that is okay with me. Free software like art studio lite can assist with making thumbnails to some degree as photoshop (even more so, on the go). It's a matter of asking yourself to what degree do you see yourself utilizing the software/features/etc. realistically. I hope this helps you out.
