[@ZombieHuntersInt]

Did anyone else's heart jump every time he threw the camera?

[@Seánasadventure]

yes the whole time I'm like why don't you just use a monopod or something?!

[@ZombieHuntersInt]

Que Tip Well i'm pretty sure I won't be doing that with my camera anytime soon. :P

[@kukuhaldyanto]

Audible_Savage i hold my breath almost on a whole video

[@francisian1769]

Audible_Savage lol...we shared the same feeling

[@shawnkearney2542]

Audible_Savage I don't know. It's just a Canon.

[@2000JML]

"Those were trees...Now they're just pretending to be bushes, pretentious bastards' xD

[@MedhadeepBanerjee]

that was a great dialogue, wasnt it!!!

[@2000JML]

lol yes it was!

[@robtokar3122]

I laughed out loud, unscripted that was perfect timing and delivery

[@2000JML]

lol

[@MattisProbably]

"A cheap lens that I don't mind breaking" *Breaks it immediately*

[@BANDERAZZ07RUS]

Why you need a quadcopter with GoPro, when you can toss a 5D MKIII with 22mm and fish-eye teleconverter!

[@kipchickensout]

good point xD

[@Athrunwong]

Because it's 2012.

[@alfredzianini9217]

Was

[@smashexentertainment676]

At a time there was only GoPro Hero 2 available with no timelapse or timer. DJI released their first Phantom I only in 2013. So yeah, now you can be all fancy, but back in a dayzz people had to be creative.

[@JediRhymeTrix]

How to be a Camera Tosser: Step 1: Get a GoPro

[@krishnadoshi7442]

Vedant Vohra or just use a really really long selfie stick.....

[@hitch4198]

+Krishna Doshi i have a dirty joke in mind :')

[@eksine]

+Vedant Vohra (VDizzL3) put the gopro on a drone

[@thesupergamer5894]

+eksine they didn't have drones in 2012, but yes, nowadays that would work.

[@eksine]

TheSuperGamer actually you're wrong "One of the first recorded uses was by Austrians in July 1849 after they launched around two hundred pilotless balloons mounted with bombs against the city of Venice." Plus it says "The CIA had been flying unarmed drones over Afghanistan since 2000" also when my friend and I were in high school they had rc helicpters, so you're wrong, if you wanted to be technical about it since you did

[@catalyststartsomthing9469]

this is one of your ideas i will not be trying

[@evenios2831]

lol just get a drone lol

[@willowsherlow32]

for someone saving up for a nice DSLR this hurt.... a lot

[@Reviewcom-je5cs]

Yeah 100%

[@Matthew-ej3pg]

+Music Core I know how you feel. btw your comment was posted a year ago...did you get a camera yet?

[@theofficialcraigsmith23]

Music Core my dslr is 500$ and I'm a kid this made me cringe

[@a2zevents38]

If that was me i would never do that

[@defamatt]

Kai: Smashes 10 1.00$ cameras, laughs Me: Smash tv remote, i cry

[@THG79ED]

I cringed every single time the camera left his hands.

[@solomonshv]

let me try this with my 5D M III and my Sigma 35mm Art :D Edit: yea, made that comment before seeing him toss his 5D M III. i don't feel so cool anymore.

[@FadhilAsyrafi]

I think beside a photographer, Kai is actually an implied troller. xD Sometimes I imagine him reading all these comments and complaints and he will just simply laugh on it. Haha LOL

[@de_frame_films]

this episode was painful to watch

[@MegaAtHome]

my heart D:

[@lucasscott8516]

Oh sh*t, I think it's broken *Throws it up 4 more times*

[@mattgranger]

Damn - respect for having the guts to throw/catch them in the rain. Where is the temple in the closing shots?

[@sekishira]

If you are gonna try, at least put a small parachute on.. it will help the camera facing down and also help it land slower so you can catch it...Make sure you toss it high enough though..

[@GamerVidsForAmateurs]

5d mark 3 in camera tossing? BALLSY AS FUCK!

[@WadeEvansMusic]

I'm only ten seconds in and I can tell Kai is going to do something dumb...

[@BGangSigns]

I absolutely died when the lens broke 😂😂😂

[@edwardlangley4835]

Haha, watching Alamby wrestle with the umbrella in the gale force rain was funny! =P Bless her!

[@Martyn0001]

Full marks for being so creative. I wouldn't buy a camera second hand from you though ...!

[@hamskw]

guys don't do this please

[@atlantis5574]

They already do it.....

[@hamskw]

ThefurroxFox FoxX i'm talking to the viewers. :)

[@SAI_N_SAI]

@@hamskw HAHAHA NOW WE CAN USE GOPRO OR OSMO ACTION! TIME CHANGE

[@lioncaptive]

Oh...this is so funny..can't stop the laughter...you too are a man of laughter and good will...Steven.

[@stevenjames5611]

I love the idea of treating such objects as playthings Marion Deleon :) Kind of undermines the attachment to material items we tend to nurture ! I was laughing throughout :)

[@plataformaaudiovisual7190]

Now we know that a GoPro might have give away better results.

[@bjorlam8201]

I honestly had to close my eyes for some of the parts. Too hard to watch

[@RessaBD]

I was freaking out the whole time while watching this!! This was scarier than watching a video that's actually meant to scare you lol! Nice work though! I've never even began to think of doing this you're so brave! Love your video's too, very entertaining and helpful all in one ^_^

[@m3L4n1ful]

This video is a very good of a heart therapy

[@can2ej6]

KAI! WAHT ARE YOU DOING?!? KAI! STAHP IT!!!!

[@griefinandcreepin]

"Pentax is shit, Pentax is shit!" You have me rolling!!! They surely aren't the best, but I still use my PZ-10 SLR from the early 90s and it still gets some damn good shots. Been on 3 Aircraft Carriers too. Durable, yes. Professional quality, maybe their new DSLRs.

[@blazingwisp]

I could barely stand watching this.... It was heart stopping D:

[@mintslice2214]

LOL free shower and a drink hahahahahahahahaha

[@BlueSky-ub4fx]

😅😅👍👍

[@W0nderWhite]

awesome vid. Love watching revolutionary photography

[@gamerN77]

it was so tense !! :D Love this video

[@roryboyle7111]

Or y'know, you could get a drone

[@smashexentertainment676]

in 2012? DJI released first drone Phantom I in 2013. And it had GoPro attached.

[@ProgamerEU]

5d pics are too bad 80mp phase one pless

[@SolaceCaelus]

Its not about the camera but the photographer, for an experiment not bad really

[@ProgamerEU]

Exceptional Perception it was a joke :)

[@SolaceCaelus]

Oh... *Scratches head* I.. knew that... Heh

[@Lastman10101]

one of my favorite episodes.

[@modernwelfares]

damn i love this video! keep it up DRTV!

[@krishnadoshi7442]

he should've done this with a leica....much smaller lenses and easier to catch........XD

[@Kmspini]

Just do it with a go pro you can toss it higher and it's easier to catch and u can just hit record and take a sill from it later

[@AnickYT]

You know, this gave me an idea for new kind of sports photography. But like reasonable person, *I'M USING MY MONOPOD!*

[@Jordy666sic]

DUDE that sound when changing the focus gives me chills! Stop breaking it

[@see949]

1:26 WHOOOOAAAA 1:31AHHHHHHH 1:36AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! 1:51 *GASP* 1:54 WHAAAAT?!?! 2:06 UGGGHHHHHHHNNNNNNNN

[@JasenkoStojakovic]

can anyone tell me where i can buy that dummy camera?

[@MickMod]

Jasenko Stojakovic They most likely got it from ebay or amazon, but sometimes a brand like nikon give out dummies so 3rd party brands can make things for it

[@MickMod]

Jasenko Stojakovic this is the exact one they used in the video. costs $23.50 www.dinowish.com/stores/buybay004/unique-simulation-dummy-canon-dslr-camera-coin-bank-p-13853.html

[@JasenkoStojakovic]

Loaf3r thanks man

[@MickMod]

Jasenko Stojakovic it looks like its no longer available, but you can get them from somewhere else. I bought mine from the link i sent.

[@themotionzero]

bringing innovation to a whole new level.

[@mdgun]

damn it!!!!!! this must be the bestest photography channel evaarr!! I'm subscribing NOW!!!

[@HackThePlanetNow]

This video is 10 minutes of pure cringe

[@jesussalas1731]

fo

[@DoctorChurrasco]

Fo

[@SquirrellovesAcorn]

I wonder how much money Kai earns, haha!! Must be very expensive tossing cameras around dropping them and stuff!! =O

[@goride2394]

hahaha love the trees turn bushes part. :D

[@Derouin91]

I'm totally going to do this in my backyard tomorrow.

[@cjheaney6265]

Use a gopro that's what I do

[@erkicaplatz7212]

why? the pictures are obviously going to be shit!

[@byronhansen6736]

I'd recommend watching the actual video before critiquing it.

[@abattlescar]

+Erkica Platz They would be shit with a phone camera, but with a correctly configured DSLR it is completely different.

[@erkicaplatz7212]

+Byron Hansen errr i did, that's why I commented!

[@erkicaplatz7212]

+abattlescar no

[@arminko2003]

Agreed

[@chabco2305]

There's one thing for certain, you can't deny that this was an entertaining video

[@Timmiiverse]

From doing it with a 550D, its pretty neat when you set everything correct and focus to your feet

[@EposVox]

So cringe. Oh god why

[@oliverhilton6086]

c r i n g e

[@laurentoutang8273]

spoiled kai kid...poor result... Should try with a gopro

[@TheYoungAstronomer]

I was on edge watching the whole video !

[@thumbsupforpati]

never had seen a stressfull video like this - so much adrenaline! xD

[@NikTatakis]

really funny to destroy and play with cameras while i try like maniac to save some money for a desent one!!! dislike

[@deepstarsix]

Clayton 1912 If it is the case that the cameras he used were fake, then that begs the question; how did he get the shots shown at the end?

[@Jordy666sic]

And I got even more chills when he just stood out there in the rain with that camera not even trying to protect it from the water.. ugh

[@foxmulderms]

I love this 100%, ABSOLUTELY... KEEP going!!! :D

[@wannaplaytwister]

This one did a good job at trying to stop my heart beating.

[@balist0]

This is the quintessential 'only on DigitalRev' video!

[@RollingInDaBenjamins]

i used the go pro and it works so well

[@alex1902961]

the most nerve wrecking DigitalRev video ever!

[@shenanigans2661]

First, let me just say that yours is by far the most entertaining and informative photography channel on youtube, and I always enjoy your videos. That being said, if I ever saw somebody taking a perfectly good DSLR and throwing it into the air, I would run up to them and kick them in the junk.

[@KandiKlover]

Hey guys where do I get a fake foam DSLR like he was practicing with in the beginning?

[@engmohamed8106]

hi kai w can i ask u What better between ؟ 50mm G f1.8 or 50mm D f1.8 I want to buy one can u help me plz

[@xNvH]

"These used to be trees... Now they're just pretending to be bushes" lol

[@mikelatsko]

That was CRAZY! I'm glad it was your camera. I

[@marinefubar]

Oh MY GAWD!!! hehe you are tossing my dreams up in the air with wreckless abandon hehe

[@YogeshwaranSomasundaram]

Lok managed to keep the camera steady during the Typhoon! Amazing!

[@trei2unu]

that's some impressive skills kai!

[@tomasbuenafoto2047]

Hey Kai, you have become are the Jackass of Photographers! very fun keep it up!

[@torqq]

Ok, I might try the water curtain but this one. I doubt, but you had me laughing thanx :)

[@toyyou2jp]

I cannot believe that you went to Sai Kung when the typhoon signal was raised! That typhoon was quite powerful to have many trees blown off.

[@sloppyjoe9156]

This makes me feel so much better about how my cameras have aged

[@xshra]

I really want to try this out, but I only have one camera and I'm afraid of breaking it

[@justincase5332]

hows this the one time kai doesn't drop the expensive kit?

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

Is there some sort of gimmicky sphere/cushion case accessory just for camera tossing?

[@wavesdvdcom]

Maybe, you should go back to spreading Vaseline on the lens. It will probably look better too. ;-)

[@audrey3128]

WHEN HE BROKE THE LENS I DIED

[@Akimbo.mp4]

DigitalRev is the Top Gear of Photography

[@photoboy2005]

every time that camera leaves his hand my heart skips a beat.

[@minkmink09]

very creative !

[@dogjpeg]

oh god i was just waiting for him to drop it

[@JSheetzArtwork]

You could throw it in the air and have a large tarp/net for it to land into.

[@Kneichion]

Crazy Man, This beats all your others lol

[@paulcantshutup]

"Hopefully this doesn't fail, because we'll have to go to Hasselblad next." Good enough for NASA to take to the moon, good enough for Kai and his monsoons.

[@Iloveak123]

The whole video makes my heart beat faster than normal...

[@nicolehyc]

holding my breath each time he tosses his camera up in the air

[@markmiller272]

I love how people get riled up over material things, love it.

[@TheKnifeCrazy]

good point!!!

[@bestbigbros1102]

What kind of camera is being used to shoot the actual video?

[@jeffuclips]

Camera tossing + heavy Rain. dayum that is savage!

[@jewlouds]

Get your groove on soldier. These men work hard and play harder.

[@jsempere]

I used to do this. But with a go pro attached to a volleyball with the headmount

[@zodiacfml]

Interesting! good job

[@MisookSensei]

You are such a risk taker under a level 10 typhoon!!!!

[@santasubsify]

This is like a new form of horror. Im filled with tension watchin this but i love it.

[@audrey3128]

I die everytime the camera drops on the floor

[@NekoEmiTan]

oooo those are really cool
