Here's the secret to a perfect YouTube unboxing video today.

Determine the Type of Unboxing Video You Want to Make

Before you start your YouTube unboxing video creation, you have to decide which road you will go, depending on the experience you want to share with your audience – the silent one or the one with the script. Here is the main difference between the two types:

• Silent unboxing videosor ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) are focused on the sensory experience for viewers who enjoy relaxing sounds. If you are one of those people, with these types of unboxing videos, you have a full preview of a product you are interested in with the sound of rustling of packaging, product tapping, or the unboxing process itself.
• Unboxing videos with a scriptare a bit different. They are more structured and include narration of the unboxing process. This narration provides an introduction to a product, often with reviews or insight, and it can also include personal reactions.

As for the contents of the box, some of the most popular types of unboxing videos are those focused on tech products, video game collector editions, collector toys, and action figures. Kids' toys and makeup are close to popularity, but any product can be part of an unboxing video.

If you can buy it, you can unbox it and record that moment silently or with a script.

Get Good Gear

The proper setup and equipment are crucial in creating an unboxing video. A good camera and proper lighting are two key components that can help you create a high-quality unboxing YouTube video. That's why a good-quality camera with features such as a high megapixel count, 4K video recording, or great autofocus is a good investment, and a tripod is also helpful.

We suggest starting by determining a budget and, from there, checking the reviews of cameras, paying attention to factors such as image quality, ease of use, and any additional features you may think can help you create a high-quality unboxing video.

When it comes to lighting, even with the best cameras, if it's bad, your video is ruined. That's why you should look for lighting setups like softboxes or ring lights to reduce shadows, highlight key features, and create a more polished look for your unboxing video.

As for the camera, you should check the internet reviews for good light equipment aligned with your previously set budget.
