Creators are experts at navigating the demands of the modern world. They need to produce content quickly, on the fly, while maintaining a high level of quality for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Given their expertise, it’s no wonder that influencer recommendations for tech gadgets hold weight. In anticipation of Prime Day 2025, Mashable has launched a series called In My Bag, where creators share the essential tools of their trade. Building on this series and our own knowledge of the tech space, we’ve curated a list of Prime Day deals on creator-approved, must-have gadgets.
A smartphone gimbal stabilizer
DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal Stabilizer for iPhone
The newly released DJI phone gimbal for iPhones, tested by Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth, has proven to be user-friendly. This smartphone tripod and stabilizer adjusts in real time to deliver professional-quality footage from your device. Despite being a 2025 release, this smartphone gimbal is now available at a reduced Prime Day price of $129.
The Alix Earle light
Newmowa 60 LED High Power Rechargeable Clip Fill Video Conference Light
The clip-on selfie light popularized by influencer Alix Earle, known as the Newmowa 60-LED High-Power Selfie Light, is a favorite among creators. Priced at $23.99, this versatile light can be attached to various devices to provide flattering lighting instantly.
A drone perfect for creators
DJI Mini 4K
The DJI Neo mini drone offers creators the ability to capture stunning aerial shots. With a $60 discount on Prime Day, this compact drone can enhance the quality of your videos at an affordable price point. Featuring 4K video capabilities, this mini drone is easy to launch and operate.
Not every gadget has to be fancy. Sometimes you just need a suction-cup-clad phone mount so you can slap your device on a wall and film. The Octobuddy phone mount, a silicone pad with the aforementioned suction cups, is a favorite among creators for its simplicity and reliability.
“[My] most essential tool is [the] Octobuddy phone mount, which lets me film almost anywhere” food creator Tess Gigone told Mashable for our In My Bag series. “Most of my videos happen in my kitchen, where I attach my phone to the window in front of me.”
The Octobuddy is priced at $11.99 for Prime Day, a 20% discount.
A discounted Canon camera
Canon EOS R100 mirrorless camera
It’s 2025 and creators increasingly need high-quality footage to do their jobs. The Canon EOS R100 promises 4K footage while still remaining light and relatively affordable. It’s 16% off for Amazon’s Prime Day, priced at $549. It should provide everything a creator needs — especially those just getting started — while not totally breaking the bank like other cameras.
A podcasting mic
Logitech Creators Blue Yeti USB Microphone
In our Starter Kit series, we talked to experts about all the best tools needed to launch a podcast, and that definitely includes the Blue Yeti USB microphone. For Prime Day, you can pick up this popular podcasting and livestreaming microphone for under $100 at Amazon.
