Ignore me. I missed it at around 13 min. Would be cool to be able to put a value to that for the revenue portion of the video.

yeah it's hard to know for sure, as there are the literal referrals where people tell me they found me from KZbin, some people I've made friends with and gotten work through them, there have also been a fair few random requests which I may have turned down or others I was not available for. I wouldn't say it's a huge amount, maybe 15% of my total freelance this year came from new YT referrals. But it's consistent, I booked a few last year and I think when establishing contact with new clients having the YT channel has helped add an extra layer of approval. Some clients have really liked me doing BTS or breakdowns on projects, which is interesting. I did also book a really cool doc project recently and worked with a new director which only happened because of my YT visibility.

I am the terminator

thanks man, and happy holidays to you too!

Honestly I never went into KZbin wanting to make money, I make a good living from my pro work, so is not something the channel is necessarily optimised for, often I'm happy if I can push a video out on time! And yes the Rangers are a great investment!

Thanks for all your support Joshy! Best part of doing KZbin is being able to make new friends along the way, that's what it's all about! Looking forward to some more collabs in 2025!

that's the Red Raptor with one of the DZO Arles

Yes for sure! I cover this at some point in the video - maybe towards end in the pro vs KZbin section. I've had a lot of additional enquiries, new work / clients over the last 2 years from people finding me from KZbin!

Yeah no worries! Always useful to share and compare!

That's good to hear and I'll definitely keep doing them, they tend to take less time to make as well.

Yeah it's definitely not life changing, nor does it cover the time invested, but I'm not being particular smart with how I generate money from KZbin (yet) - now I've got the basics down, hopefully in 2025 I can focus on that.

nice always wanted to try a z-cam but don't come across them often!

definitely true, but for the Osmo it's not that practical or worth it. I think you'd need a few KGs for that which makes more sense for a mirrorless, but less so for the Osmo.

thanks, have been testing a new z-axis stabiliser that works pretty well, will have a vid on it next year

I have since learnt it's a fixed aperture yes!

the LUT pack will yes!

Thanks Chris!

I did a few long form vids on the osmo - unfortunately LUMIX wouldn’t let me hold onto the S9 for more than a week so probably won’t be revisiting it

I don't have an S9 but it should be exactly the same as the S5ii / S5iix - same sensor etc.

Glad it was helpful, definitely the most ambitious camera review vid I've made to date!

Awesome, that's what I like to hear!
