Creating high-quality content as a solo entrepreneur can feel like a full-time job — especially if you're doing it without a team or professional setup.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need a big budget or a crew to produce professional, scroll-stopping videos and social media posts. You just need the right content creation tools for entrepreneurs — and I’m giving you my top 3.
In our last post, The Empire Batching Method, I shared how to batch and plan your content like a pro. Today, I’m breaking down the exact gadgets I use to film high-quality content alone — no videographer, no stress.
I. Motion Tracking Phone Holder
(The Best Hands-Free Tool for Filming Alone)
This is my go-to gadget when I need to shoot a Reel, tutorial, or talk directly to the camera without staying glued to one spot. The Auto Tracking Phone Holder (360° rotation) literally follows your movement — keeping you centered and in focus as you move around.
Perfect for:
Filming content solo
Instagram Reels, TikToks, and tutorials
Coaches, trainers, and personal brands
II. Tripod With Remote
(Stable. Adjustable. Travel-Friendly.)
A good tripod for content creators is a must — and I don’t just mean one that stands still. I use an adjustable tripod with a built-in Bluetooth remote, which makes it easy to start/stop video without having to tap the screen (or do that awkward walk up to the phone).
Why I love it:
Easy setup for both desk and standing shots
Lightweight but sturdy
Remote lets me snap photos & start videos without touching my phone
This is one of the most underrated tools for filming content alone, especially for entrepreneurs running a solo operation. [Perfect example here].
III. DJI Gimbal
(Smooth, Cinematic Content — No Film Degree Needed)
If you want to take your content from basic to brilliant, a gimbal is the secret sauce. I use the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 Gimbal — it's compact, easy to learn, and gives me smooth video movement even when I’m on the go.
Perfect for:
Vlogs
Behind-the-scenes clips
Event content and dynamic b-roll
👑 Empire Tip: If you’re a business owner who wants to show up professionally on video, this is one of the best gadgets for solo content creators on the market.
Use These Tools With a Smart Strategy
Remember — tools only take you so far. The real power comes when you combine these gadgets with a smart plan like the Empire Batching Method, which helps you map out and execute your content without burning out.
