nostr:npub1r922qcju9p0dwpg23nltr43f0wdqpme5lrn4ykyyu236qp6065yss0tpfu in a lot of situations, video from a phone works quite well. of course, if you have the kind of income that justifies the cost of professional equipment, you can go buy that.
the main purpose of professional equipment is to save you time and effort though. you can "rescue" audio/video recordings from inferior equipment with some careful choices when recording and post-processing after the fact, but this takes time and effort.
professionals are trying to save time and effort because this lets them service more customers faster, so it's justifiable to spend a lot on fancy equipment.
but most professionals will tell you that you shouldn't spend on such fancy equipment before you're starting to get the gigs to justify it. they're *not* very snobby about the equipment, really. most of them started out with something modest.

I get it, so cool. It’s good to see high end phones with such video quality
