KSI's Microphone and Camera: What's Actually Confirmed

KSI’s gear gets asked about frequently, and the honest state of the available information is: the microphone claim in circulation isn’t sourced, and the camera claim traces back to a video that’s roughly a decade old.

What we found (and didn’t find)

• Microphone — a Rode NT-USB is the model most commonly attributed to him across gear-list sites, but none of them cite a source, and we couldn’t independently verify it from an interview, video, or statement.
• Camera — claims (a specific Panasonic and a specific Canon model) appear to trace back to an old “how I make my videos” style video from around 2016-2017. That’s a real video, but describing an old setup that’s had nearly a decade to change — we found no current source confirming what he uses now.
• PC and other gear — no verifiable current information found.

Given how much has changed about KSI’s career and production setup since 2016-2017, treating a decade-old claim as current information would be misleading even if the original claim was accurate at the time.

Practical tip: When a “gear list” claim traces back to a single old video, check how old that video actually is before treating it as current — creators with long-running channels typically upgrade their setup multiple times over a decade, even if nobody’s written an updated gear list since.

How this compares across creators

Gear changes over time and isn't always confirmed directly by the creator — see the notes column for sourcing, and treat unconfirmed entries as a starting point, not a guarantee of current gear.

Key mistakes to avoid

1. Treating a decade-old video as a description of a creator’s current setup.
2. Repeating an unsourced specific model claim because it’s the most common one across gear-list sites.
3. Assuming a long-running, high-production channel is still using entry-level gear from years earlier without checking.
4. Buying a specific product purely because it’s attributed to a well-known creator, without verifying the claim.

Conclusion

The gear claims attributed to KSI online are either unsourced or nearly a decade old, which means there’s no reliable current answer available for this query as things stand. If you’re shopping for your own setup, our streaming gear guides will get you to real, current recommendations faster than an outdated guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

What microphone does KSI use?

The most commonly repeated claim is a Rode NT-USB, but no site making that claim cites an actual source — no video, no interview, no statement from KSI himself. We couldn't independently verify it.

What camera does KSI use?

Camera claims in circulation appear to trace back to an old video from around 2016-2017 describing how he made YouTube videos at that time — which is nearly a decade removed from his current content. We found no source confirming his current camera setup.
