VlogSetup is an independent website. It may be paid through affiliate links: when you click a link to a brand store and buy, the store may pay us a commission, at no extra cost to you. This is a material connection under the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), so we say it in one line at the top of every page with such links, and in full here.
Where we stand on November 14, 2026
- No affiliate program has accepted the site yet. Links to the DJI, Insta360, RØDE, Hollyland, Ulanzi and GoPro stores are plain links for now: they carry no tracking and earn us nothing.
- On November 14, 2026 we applied to the Hollyland, Insta360 and Ulanzi programs on the impact.com network. When one accepts, its links will go through its tracking link and this page will name it.
- DJI: its own affiliate program pays in DJI store credit, which we do not use. DJI links stay plain links.
- RØDE: we found no affiliate program open to a site like ours. Its links will stay plain links. We list RØDE because its figures help you compare.
- Amazon: not used yet. If we join the Amazon Associates program, this page will say: "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases."
How we work
- We have not bought or tested any product. We never describe sound or image quality from experience. We compare what the brands publish on their spec pages.
- Every figure has its source and the date we read it: prices and specifications on November 14, 2026. When a figure is not published, we say "not published".
- Our tools apply published figures and simple arithmetic, explained under each tool. Calculations are marked [calc].
- No brand pays to be listed or ranked. Picks follow a written rule, usually the cheapest product in stock that meets the stated condition. A brand without any program can be picked, and often is.
- We publish no customer reviews, no scores, no stars and no "tested" claims (see also the FTC rule on fake reviews and testimonials, 16 CFR Part 465).
Prices
Prices are those shown by the brands' US stores on the day we checked, sale prices included, before sales tax and shipping. A struck-through price is the store's own compare-at price; we never compute a discount. Prices change often, especially in November: check the store before you buy. More detail: How we compare.
