I usually just use my cellphone camera. It's a really cheap phone too. I upload the video to you-tube directly from the phone. Usually I then go on to the PC, and in the browser in you-tube I edit the attributes of the uploaded video to allow comments (unless I don't want comments of course!).
The trick some kind seasonista mentioned to me when i first started is to keep the microphone (or cellphone in this case) as close to you as you reasonably can. I also make sure I play and sing reasonably loud too, which helps the the recording to sound ok even on the cheap cellphone.
I find it helps to put the phone on to a tripod. I use one of those tiny table-top tripods, and a selfie-stick head provides the mount for the phone which screws on to the tripod.
