/u/rojamb - for future reference, this question is probably more appropriate for /r/videography than /r/Filmmakers, but that said, the video in the example you posted was rendered at 1440p, and some of Frankie's earlier videos are rendered at 2160p, so he probably uses a 4K camera.

The least expensive 4K camcorder you can buy (that isn't a GoPro or some other action camera) is probably the Panasonic VX870 at [about $700] (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-HC-VX870K-Camcorder-Smartphone-Capture/dp/B00RBG5TRA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20), while the least expensive 4K point and shoot is [around $500] (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-FZ300K-Megapixel-2-3-inch-Dustproof/dp/B011PKJI2Y//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=battleforthew-20) (on sale), the Panasonic FZ300 [Referral Links].

Here are a few 4K videos similar to your example shot with the FZ300 (please watch at 2160p and your monitor's highest resolution):

  • [Chickens in the Nest -- Easy and Fun Breakfast/Snack by Waddling Penguin] (https://youtu.be/9pxagjXNp1g)

  • [Easy How-to: Tissue Paper Carnation Flowers by Waddling Penguin] (https://youtu.be/ZFLQxTLzyGI)

  • [How to Make the BEST Cup of Coffee EVER! (Easy, Fast, & Inexpensive) by ArtoftheImage] (https://youtu.be/66Ywcp5xDuw)

  • [How to] Video capture the screen of an iPad Pro: Lightning, MacBook, QuickTime by Rosalys Alice] (https://youtu.be/ZxLDUVB_AQo)

    Here's how to set the camera up for YouTubing:

    Advanced settings:

    If $500 is too much of a stretch for your budget, you'll either have to use a 4K cell phone, a 4K action camera with a wide angle fixed lens or you're stuck at 1080p.

    Hope this was somewhat helpful.

I use the Panasonic 4K. It's a great camera but my screen got rained on so the video is stuck upside-down. I had to put an external monitor on it.
