Love the video! I think I'll do my own video on speed wrenches in the coming weeks. I love having a larger one with an adapter for when the set screw is somewhere recessed (also able to fit with an extension), and also having a small one like the powertools one you showed for those instances where you're working in tight spaces. Ive had a few "name brand" wrenches fail on me as well, so I've taken to just getting a craftsman, kobalt, etc. from the hardware store.

Great channel. Question for you... which side of duvetyne is fire resistant? I noticed one side is kind of fuzzy and the other one is just flat. Distributors' websites say it's flame retardant but which side should be used to face the heat source?

8:00 It’s not that cool chips are brighter. It’s that both chips at 100% is brighter than just cool or warm alone. So constant mode keeps the overall exposure constant, and max mode just gets brighter in the 4000-ish range.

I bought this power station and based on a recommendation bought two SmallRig V Mount Battery VB99 Pro, 6700mAh 99Wh 14.8V. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. When I plug both these batteries into the APUTURE Power Station, the batteries shut off and will not turn on. Therefore I am not getting the green light lit on the power station. I tested both batteries on other products and they seem to be working normally as intended. It’s just using them on this power station. Would these just be incompatible, too low a wattage? On the Q&A on the B&H website page, the staff of B&H stated these batteries will work fine with the Aputure battery station providing the load is a match. Any ideas? I would appreciate anyone’s suggestion. Thank you.

I really like both Amaran and Aputure stuff - I use products from both. I do have n interest in the charge station, but that handle looks awful. It appears cheap quality and looks like it wouldn’t last. Most brands have molded plastic for the handle. I don’t know which is the better option. I’m just surprised Aputure designed it this way.

We were Matthews Studio Equipment dealers in the early/mid 1980s. The prevailing story at that time was that, in the Matthews Catalog, the clothespins had an item number of C-47. I never bothered to look it up myself. Anyone with an early 80's Matthews catalog could verify/dispel that story. BTW, some of the grips we worked with regularly only referred to the converted clothespins as C-47s. Otherwise the were just called clothespins.

I'm commenting on a 6 year old video to say I thought Dave looked suspiciously deadpan during the intro, so I played it again and noticed that he produced the adaptor from behind his back, fun end pointing up (Greenhorns, please use caution when using your adaptors in this manner, as they lack a flared base.) Subtle details like these are what set Grip Tips apart from countless lesser grippage tutorials on youtube.

Actually, I am planning something similar. However, for aesthetic reasons, I will be using chipboard on the outside, attaching hinges a a door knob on each. I hadn't thought about using plywood between the crates, so thanks for that. I don't have room for a dresser in my bedroom, but I do have room for two of these side by side. I plan on at least three tall, attaching them to the wall. The chipboard will go on inside and outside, unless I decide to use several layers of cardboard put together. Great video, thanks for the plywood idea.

Hi Dave, hope you can do a review of the new Matthews Grip Rail vs the regular speed pipe you’ve done tutorials here on the channel. Curious if they are functionally any better or worse. If they’re worth a purchase if starting to assemble a working set vs regular speed pipe (Matthews markets it as saving on cutting and destroying speed pipes). Thank you!
@GripTips7 ай бұрын
Hey bud! Rn I’m currently moving, along with some other complications but I saw my buddy Martin in their promo. From a far I absolutely love the design. Super sleek and looks great. Per usual with any of Matthew’s stuff, just looks designer grip. Functionally I love that there’s a stop for the Grip rail as I’ve pulled apart a lot of wall spreaders when setting up. And while I’ve cut my share of rail, it would be nice to have a preset couple of rails dedicated to just wall spreading. I personally have had some wall spreaders pre-cut and loaded on the truck many times. So being able to just slap the flanges on those seems great in comparison to pre-building. I also dig that the shaft is not hallow vs speed rail. I think my only thing would be if they had some sort of quick connect wall spreader system in tandem with it. But I also see where they could be handy for car rigging. Idk, just my two Pennie’s. Maybe once I get over this hump I’m currently in, maybe I can give them a call and give it a run myself. Hope this helps! Stay frosty 💪💪

Hi Folks! I’ve been teaching my film production students using Grip Tips for years! Thanks for the great content! Question: if there an electrician/gaffer version of Grip Tips? I’m looking for something as extensive and professional as Grip Tips. channels! Shane Hurlbut is GREAT, but to get to the real content, you have to pay for a subscription (which my school won’t do). Aputure is wonderful too, but I’m looking for something that covers generators and electrical distribution, as you would see on a medium to high-budget production. Thanks in advance!
