Lwcg pocket arm is all you should invest in to start. A small arm that’s super easy to set up and easy to pack. In my experience the fiddle factor of filming is what stops people more than anything so a lightweight one step arm will keep you filming. Next get you a phone holder and a small cheap head, I’d recommend the small rig fluid head. This setup is small, easy to use and works great with a phone to get you started and the same rig will handle larger equipment like a Sony ax53 camcorder with mic, or a Sony a6400 w/ 18-105 and mic.
If you want to step things up a bit with your phone get the filmic pro app (2.99 a week during season) and a rode video mic mini. The app will allow you to have unlimited control over your phone camera so you can film in manual. The mic will help with audio a ton.
I’ve filmed for years and used a ton of gear and cameras and think this setup is the way to go for a newbie. I filmed hunts with my 13 pro max, Sony ax53, and an a6400 this year. I do it for fun and just really love having the video. I’ve been fortunate to acquire some nice camera stuff so I like using it but there are times where I don’t want to mess with it, or didn’t charge all my batteries or whatever and since my phone is always with me that phone mount stays in my pack and is always there.
