To kick off your career as an online model, having the right tech setup is absolutely essential. It makes your work easier and ensures your users have a great experience. Here are our top 5 gadgets you should definitely consider:
📱 1. A solid smartphone
Your phone is important for quick registration and verification. It’s also useful on the go. Just note: the mobile version of VXModels is still under development – for full features, use your laptop or PC.
💻 2. Powerful PC or Laptop
Your main work device must meet these minimum requirements:
Processor: At least i5 (4 cores) or equivalent, ideally i7
RAM: Minimum 8 GB (ideally 16 GB)
This ensures smooth streaming without annoying lags.
📷 3. External webcam
Built-in laptop cameras often don't offer the quality you need. A high-quality external webcam (e.g. from Logitech) gives you much better image quality and lets you adjust your camera angle more creatively.
🌐 4. Stable internet connection
You need a reliable connection to interact with users:
Upload speed: At least 5 MBit/s (better: 10 MBit/s)
Connection type: LAN cable instead of Wi-Fi for better stability
Smooth video = happy customers.
🎙️ 5. Optional: Microphone & Light
Users love hearing you. An external microphone improves your audio. And with the right lighting, you’ll look your best on cam – instantly more professional.
