1. Recording Hardware
You DON'T need a fancy expensive DSLR. Phone cameras have gotten really good in recent years. You can definitely just use the phone
Especially if you have a newer phone, might not ever need to upgrade. I used my iPhone for the first 8 months

2. Recording Software
If you want to record your screen there are lots of free amazing options. Popular one that YouTubers use is OBS Studio.
It is free, it is amazing, and they even have an app that lets you connect your phone camera to stream directly to OBS (not free)

Moral of the thread is you don't need to invest money at the beginning to start.
In fact, unless you are really confident, you probably shouldn't invest money at the very beginning. Test it out, see if it is for you, then invest.

And once you are ready to invest, the first thing you should invest in is a microphone. You can get a cheaper lavalier mic for $20.
I have had troubles with those, but another good investment is a Blue Yeti Mic (very simple to use)
They will both get the job done.

So now you can't use software or hardware as an excuse. Either find a new excuse or start your journey
