Camera Guy Math - If its under $100...its basically free

[@navinr9558]

So true

[@mtmccornack]

I've been laughing 😃 😂 for 5 min straight over this comment!

[@Camera-Guy_ODST]

Verified Fact

[@kacasio1]

$100 = 1 adult dollar

[@shotbysoeren9853]

Except of SD Cards …🥲

[@ScottJWaldron]

8:25 One nice easy to find alternative to gaffer tape is 3M No Residue Duct Tape. It's available at local home stores. That's my go-to and use it a lot. Works well longer term on surfaces too.

[@KevinBein]

I made my own Trekpack system a few years ago from about $30 worth of craft materials from Michaels. The core of those is just coroplast sheets. I just glued foam sheets to the coroplast sheets and cut them into strips the depth of the case. Then you can just cut them to whatever length you need. I made pins to link them together out of coated aluminum clothesline wire. It works exactly the same as the Pelican system at a fraction of the cost.

[@louisrafaelcom]

I went this route as well, with a couple of additions: there's EVA foam with adhesive backing and after loads of research I ended up getting split pins to connect the pieces. A long metal ruler is also very useful to cut the sheets to size.

[@ActuallyTong]

looks like the DJI Pocket 3 is hard at work

[@FlexinJC]

I have the Aputure MC light and am happy with it. I see some other items I would like to have. What I love about this video and your early looks at new products is, you get opinions from your friends. Sometimes they have a slightly different use or need and it is good to hear that angle. Also questions get asked and answered in the same video. Love the channel.

[@darkkforest]

Thank you Kari for the clean and organized description 😊

[@JeremyKruis]

Having the details is really helpful! It’s nice knowing a few different possibilities and directions the storm might go! Thank you!

[@mixtape5143]

Sunscreen added to cart, so can’t wait to try it! Always love your videos and I hope you do more on this level that are really relatable and something I can see myself possibly needing and purchasing.. 😊🤙

[@PierreReinhardt]

Thanks to you, I took a closer look at my situation with maybe having ADHD, and initially, finding out about having ADHD was quite challenging. After a short while, though, I came to accept it and now I understand why I’m doing things like I do…. better. Anyway, thank you very, very much for the push; it has made a significant difference. Greetings from Germany and ……oh look a squirrel 🐿️

[@david_quach]

With the holidays coming up this video makes a good gift idea list for anyone who doesn't know what to get their photography or film making friends or family.

[@ovalord516]

There are some great stuff at that price point. Appreciate all the research that was done!

[@nagorb666]

Hi Gene. For the Aputure MC: if you have white selected in Sidus Link then on the bit that deals with temperature press "expand", you'll be able to drop it all the way down to 1500k

[@mtmccornack]

I always thought the tiny aperature lights were a little pricey. For the same cost of 1 light I picked up a couple nearly identical portable lights from some company called Soonpho, and although I can't speak to color accuracy I can say they are nearly identical in everyway except having magnets and come in under 40 bucks.

[@w4ck02]

Aputure MC is great choice, highly recommended. Often times we wrap and fill the van at night, there's no light. Just magnet the MC's on the car and can pack accordingly.

[@KevinLe]

Ok. The swivel trekpak panel with the Allen wrench hack just made me wanna throw my phone! Mind blown.

[@LukeAntunes]

You guys are just the best! I love the vlog style vids. Thanks for sharing!

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

16:17 100% agree with the Anker power bank. I plug into my A7iv to power it and some accessories and can shoot for 8 hours straight. Way better than spare batteries, which I always lose. Plus you can use it to top off you laptop or phone. AND with a 140W charger you can charge it to 100% in under an hour. Such a good power bank

[@hxllywxxd22]

Im so Fing HAPPY Sam's been back for the last couple of video's. I love watching your guys Bromance Blossom haha

[@Jay-R_Seven]

I didn't know there were so many tools that are so useful. Thanks for the tip

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I love both those aputure lights you recommend, both the light and the bulb. Such great stuff and with the Sidus link App, soooo money

[@Draconis8888]

That Pgytech card reader/holder is legit cool. Putting it on my list. Thanks!

[@pres002]

I use a peak Design backpack clip for my camera best thing ever

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Love this. Great video and I use many of these, but some really great options

[@inpursuitofbirds]

I have the CreateMate for my mini iPad. Love it.

[@patregan]

I bought a big box of individual sized ketchup-style packets of sunscreen, and a similar box of bug repellent wipes. I keep a stack of each in my FPV bag. They work for me in an emergency if I forgot to slather up at home, but they are even better for sharing. You don't have to worry about your friends or people you have only just met licking your bottle of bug spray or drinking all your nice sunscreen. You can just throw them their own packet!

[@yasha1928]

Hey, this is the video that made me buy that card reader! It's excellent value for the speed and consistency you get from it! Awesome stuff Potato Jet 😁

[@MrProgrammer74]

This was unironically useful. Thanks!

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

I need all of this!

[@cordials_blogs]

I really enjoyed this type of video! Keep it up Gene, can't wait for the A9 review!

[@MaxMut.]

Your channel is the guide line”

[@DopeyFPV]

That lipo charger in the beginning is prob the most useful to me in my travels.

[@JamieFurlong]

This is really useful, thank you.

[@Defonotmitchell]

[@NE_Pigeons]

[@AjaySingh-228]

Amazing tools bro

[@JiajuChen]

damn, i will probably end up buying half of all these gadgets, actually useful stuff.

[@munirone]

What a cute couple! I LOVE YOU GUYS!! ❤❤

[@birdswithbeau]

Astrophotography is great! I think you'd really enjoy it!

[@Ponkotsu67]

Dealbreaker for the mantispod is the propietary mounting connector and you have to use an allen key to fasten and remove the base plate from each of your cameras.

[@joemoya9743]

Excellent

[@markwoll]

iFootage Anglerfish HL1 C4 RGBW handy light is a nice inexpensive light. It's got RGB, magnets, a cold shoe with a 1/4 20 control from an app with BT. $40

[@voice2skull.]

🤪🤯 awesome stuff! Now I need to first buy the equipment it goes with. 😂

[@DannysDesigns]

Long Beach. Use to live right there by blue colored building at the beginning of

[@DTChunky]

Legit! Thanks!

[@monchoboy41]

if you're in a pinch and need a blower for your lenses, you always can find a baby nasal aspirator in a drugstore or walmart. They are dirt cheap, and do basicaly the same function as the giottos rocket air blaster, they also suck air, so it can be useful

[@timng81]

Added sunscreen to my cart first!

[@kraftpictures9145]

Which drone can you recommend for the gopro?

[@bedeckt]

Hey are you going to get a DJI Agras? I mean it can hold a person so a nice fat camera setup cant be too bad? Google says it can go up to 36kmh

[@AbdulQadir-dc8se]

The PGYTECH card reader ad didn't look stage until he dropped it and u said "Good thing its durable with the rubber protectio thing.." lol

[@OMentertainment]

Perfect timing, my birthday is in 5 days, sooooo

[@heiko4297]

I know it's over 100 Bugs, but where to find the inlay for the Pelicase Mockup?

[@AllenRReid]

Love Portabrace, but man are they expensive.

[@Defonotmitchell]

yoooooo new videooooo

[@marc-antoinelacourse5910]

LEATHERMAN Bracelet (Tread) : The tool has now been discontinued for more than 6 months. I own it from the first release and love it !

[@macfawlty]

The Anker Powerbank may be heavy, but it charges my iPad Pro super fast using the USB C.

[@andrebenjamin3289]

What is that thick battery?? 4:03

[@yogajoeguy]

Congratulations on your wedding

[@MikeDancy]

this is why I animate all my videos and don't require any camera gear. I don't even use real animation. I just use sticks and leaves that I find in the woods and put them in the positions that I want and then draw them with pencil on paper and scan those to create the video.

[@FoxWeddings]

We are such a big fan of you guys ! We would love to shoot your wedding !

[@BlairAir]

I always carry a Leatherman as well. I've done so ever since David Leatherman started selling them on the late show. I wonder if he's still making money on them -and if he started selling his name correctly.

[@AkaBull]

Noice!!!!

[@jonathanblanckaert]

[@syn3rgyz]

what kinda seat does kari have on her road bike?

[@DanLiveOnUTube]

Kari: You can draw happy faces... Gene: ORRRRR P***S

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

Please add time stamps

[@definingslawek4731]

the 3 inch sub250 quad was new and thats why you paid import tax on it? Or they made you declare the new value of a used item.

[@Finalfootagefilms]

I want someone who would look at me, like Carey looks at Gene

[@zaiENT1]

[@brightdaygaming5692]

the 90$ light is bs, compared to the cheap andoer or whatever what is 20$, you could buy nearly 5 of them for the same price. im not too shocked tho when affiliate links are involved.

[@fishinglaboutdoors]

Still liking that pocket 3?

[@Ale21620]

Instead of paying someone to film your wedding you should have 10 (gopro,360. osmo mobil...) and give them to your bridal party to film their point of view. And that way those brands will pay for your wedding.

[@rafael.gazoni]

I was so focused on the quality of the Osmo pocket 3 that I completely forgot what is the content of this video.

[@connorschaal2729]
