Anyone tried phone vlogging / content creation? Particularly food-related

I hope to record my journey -- I love trying new foods both on the street and restaurants. But, I want to travel minimalistically and use my Pixel 8 Pro phone.

Anyone tried this before? What accessories are needed? I've heard this:

  • Microphone: (like DJI mic 2)
  • Gimbal: (like DJI Osmo)
  • Tripod: (not sure what's good for this eating purpose)
  • Lighting: Maybe portable for food pics or attached to a phone?
  • External storage: Or maybe Google Drive upload is better?

Apps?

  • What about recording and photo apps? (like FilmicPro or BlackMagic over stock?)

Making life easier?

  • Every time you record, do you create folders to organize and make it easier to edit and upload later?

Would love to learn from you -- I would like to do short-form content like Reels, TikTok, or even XiaoHongShu.

Xhs is already pretty saturated with food content, so unless you have a unique gimmick for your content, it probably won’t due particularly well there.

But in general, if you don’t care about growing popular and you just want to do it to do it, then why not? Hobbies are great!

Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know

So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!

The ban isn't really about privacy concerns

Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.

Y'all know why Trump suddenly became "pro-TikTok" right?

Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
