Spending money on gear you don't need or will never use is the worst... Today we're chatting about overhyped photography and filmmaking/videography gear: a couple of pieces of gear that I think are overrated because they're terrible (plus what to get instead), and we'll also explore some camera gear that gets a lot of hype, but that aren't great purchases at the beginning of your photo or video journey - items that aren't terrible, but that beginners should avoid until they have a bit more experience and know what direction they want to go.
