One of the easiest ways to improve your videos is to use a tripod. It stabilizes the camera so the video isn’t jumping around. You can set up the shot so the background doesn’t distract from the subject. And you can focus on what to say without worrying about holding your arm steady.

But what if you don’t have a tripod? Does that mean you have to wait until you get one?

No!

Video on social media gets better reach and engagement than any other type of post. And viewers on platforms like Instagram, which are meant to be viewed on your phone, don’t expect perfect, polished video.

It’s better to start making videos right now with the tools you already have. Then you can plan to upgrade and get a tripod when you’re able.
