Shop all your bits and bobs to start your content creation journey with Vodacom. The best part, you can get them on contract.
It’s the dawn of a new year and if one of your goals is to create more content than you consume, you’re going to need the right tools to get you started.
Given there are over 300 million content creators globally, it’s safe to say the content creation market is competitive. So, if you’re really going to do this video content creation thing (especially if you’re looking to make a living off of it), you have to go all in. The key is quality. Content that looks good generally gets more engagement and thus has a better chance of being favoured in the algorithms.
A phone with great camera quality
This will double-up as your camera and video editor, so the investment is generally worth it in the long run. The iPhone16e has a solid 48-megapixel main camera, and up to 128GB of storage. This will come in handy for recording and storing good-quality long form videos. The only drawback is that it doesn’t have a wide camera lens, but this means you’ll have to get creative with your camera placements.
You can get it for as little as R499 per month on a fixed term contract, shop the deal.
The Samsung Galaxy S-series is also usually mentioned among the phones with impeccable camera quality. The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE (fan edition) is a great option, boasting a 50-megapixel main camera and 128GB storage. Get yours from R529 per month on a fixed-term contract.

A solid internet connection
It goes without saying that a fast and reliable internet connection is a must for video content creators. From speedy uploads to seamless livestreams and timely engagement, you need a connection you can count on. The great thing is – Vodacom’s got options to suit your lifestyle and budget.
Mi-Fi routers
These are great for on-the-go, spontaneous creators. Get one from R199 per month with data to connect anytime, anywhere. You can tailor your deal to suit your data and budget needs.
Data SIMs
If all you really need for your content creation journey is your phone, consider getting a data SIM. You could get 15GB of data every month from just R129 per month, but it’s options galore when it comes to Vodacom’s SIM-only deals.
Home Internet
If you’re mostly filming home content or don’t need to leave the house to create content, it might make sense to just get a router for your home. This plug and play solution especially makes sense if you work from home, study online or have other people in your home that would benefit from it. You could start with a 20mbps line from R389 per month.
Microphones for crisp sound
Clean sound adds to the quality of your content. Mics are especially necessary for content creators that do livestreams, podcasts, and ASMRs. Otherwise, if you generally slap on a voiceover when you’re done editing, your phone’s microphone and a quiet recording spot can do the trick. A good set ranges from just under R300 and you can get these from Takealot, or Makro.
Some good lighting
Lighting is essential for creating professional-looking videos. Ring lights are a good option, 1) they offer flattering lighting options and 2) they can also be used as a tripod or phone mount. You can get your hands on these from around R350 on Amazon.
Remember, the key to achieving your goals is to start. Be it a new recipe you’re trying, a cool ASMR, your fitness journey, gaming talents, makeup routine or unboxing your latest purchases – there is room for your content. Share your magic with the world.
