Softbox Lights: These are the exact softboxes I use in my spare room. They run cool so they won't heat up a small space, and the light is perfect for green screen keying as well as just a general home background.

Wiz Smart Bulb: This is the cheapest option thet delivers great results, has a lot of different options, and also gives you "special effects" lighting 

Philips Hue Smart Bulb: This is the more expensive option for a smart bulb, and yes it does offer more functionality. It is a great bulb, but it is not the one that I use. I use the Wiz above. But if top quality rather than price is your priority, then you can grab the Phillips Hue on Amazon.

Light Socket Extender: I use this to bring my smart bulb closer to the front of the soft box "tent" so that it is a more potent light.

Pixel G1s RGB Light (for Effects Lighting): This is a great "effects" light that can do:

Tripod (Amazon Basics): This is the same tripod I use. I actually own two of them. It is sturdy, hold a lot of weight, and can raise high enough for any angle you might need. 

Phone Mount for Tripod: This phone mount is very versatile. Once you mount your phone, to use the camera for filming, you can easily switch between horizontal and vertical filming in seconds. I own two of them, once for my tripod and one for my teleprompter. 

Lapel Microphone (BOYA): This is the mic that I personally use. It uses bluetooth, plugs durectly into your phone, and recharges using a standard USB-C socket. 

OpenArt (Aggregator): OpenArt is a hub that allows you to access dozens of AI tools all within one platform, one dashboard and with one monthly subscription. I personally use OpenArt. NOTE that they are a little bit more expensive than using other tools directly, but you're paying for the convenience.
