Filmmaking gear that sparks joy (in 2024)

[@rohitchakraborty6742]

Pulling up the table top to start writing sparked the most joy for my back

[@waydimstygdsgn]

I hate it when my girlfriend calls me insane for buying a completely not unnecessary timer for my desk

[@StandardStoryCo]

This video might become courtroom evidence for the day I totally lose it and buy an apple vision pro

[@dhudach]

I so enjoy your channel and videos. When you mentioned that upgrading from a small camera to a larger, more expensive one won't make you a better story teller, it reminded me of a story I heard many years ago. I think it fits here. Supposedly it's a true story about a gathering of writers, artists, photographers, etc. A writer and photographer were talking and the writer told the photographer that she really thinks his pictures are fantastic and that he obviously must have an expensive camera. The photographer returned the "compliment" by telling the writer that he's read and loves her work and clearly, she must have a great typewriter!!

You have the luxury of making movies full time as a sustainable source of income. That's freakin'' amazing, and I'm very glad that you get to share. I'm at the level of a weekly KZbin post about what I'm doing, or trying to do, and I have a few hours that I can carve out, sometimes even less than an hour for shooting, editing and making it somewhat shiny in post. It's only me, and things like work and life responsibilities take up a lot of time. I did have a pretty big heyday with indie production and had a physical shared studio space and some freakin' amazing people that are still friends that would love to play, but it wasn't sustainable. I *really* want to be able to play with my friends again, but it's not in the cards anymore.

[@jeanperpillant]

It's the gyrating that you were doing in the Sony to show the example, that made my Friday, thank you! The thumbs up was icing on the cake, thank you Sir!

[@OldTeaz]

this is definitely the most film gear film gear video ive seen yet!

[@SHVWNCOOPER]

been using that wireless boom hack for a while for small stuff it's super handy! honestly feel like we get better audio that way in most scenarios

[@ShaneUmbra]

Hi Kent, just wanted to say great video and I am saving up right now to buy a starter camera to make more passion projects. Based on this video I am definitely thinking of getting the Sony ZV-1 as a starter. I would really appreciate a video like you said of you showing the camera off!

[@magic.marmot]

I love the ZV-1. I started with an RX100 Mark VI, until it died. The ZV-1 has an external mic jack which was a game changer, until mine developed some crankiness with unexpected shutoffs and batter door sensitivity, and got a second one that I don't like as much because of audio trim, but now I get to have an A/B cam if I need it. Not a big fan of the OIS. Handheld stuff get's pretty shaky (because I'm old and yell at clouds and stuff). I have a go bag that's a decently small backpack where I can be fully set up to shoot in less than 60 seconds, and that's pretty amazing.

[@adventurefilmclub2549]

I'd definitely still recommend the BMPCC OG as a great 'dive in for cheap and start making films' over the ZV1. Yeah battery life is pap and you need some kinda stability added, but raw recording straight to sd card, and that image baby!

[@mjgfromDDD]

Still got mine. Never selling it. Used it for my first feature film that brought unexpected earnings in festivals. It's a beast when rigged for the operator.

[@icarusdown5445]

I'm so broke this video was a comedy lol. "lets start small" pulls out a tiny $500 camera. Either way I like the candid chill way you present these items.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

What a great list of things filmmakers can find joy out of. Many thanks. I bookmarked this in my GEAR folder under FILMMAKING. Clever, huh?

[@ceige42]

I like your stuff. Your sentiment,your ideas and Your timer! You aren’t crazy!

[@DokoGaTV]

Thanks for another great video. Timer. Genius. Ordered one 🔥👍🏽

[@Notsram77]

When I see a creator using an 'mmo mouse' for additional buttons it fills me with joy

[@karnagekandyYT]

I’ve been doing this for years. And my dad said my WoW addiction would amount to nothing

[@videohousejsq]

Thanks for this. I’m an aspiring film maker myself and I want to start learning how to get into making actual short films. My ultimate dream is to be a director/producer for Hollywood movies, but that’s gonna take some time as I’m currently working on getting my film degree at college first. Really enjoyed your “Will the Machine” film. Great work man.

[@AuthenTech]

that timer is actually pretty sweet

[@MonsterS4R996]

Yay! Original ZV-1 is great! (I have one.) What's so great with this camera is the weight & size, plus internal ND filter (for me, anyway.) When you're alone, and trying to shoot some action scenes on rooftop, you know what I mean. You don't want to climb up & down on ladder with expensive+big, heavy fully rigged up camera. I could literally run and jump around with ZV-1 (with top handle) on the rooftop!

[@57JackCaptainSparrow]

So funny watching this one! I use the same "wall" product for chargers, and I have the SAME clear shoeboxes with the same labels for item storage! Good thinking here! Cheers!

[@VFXRefugee]

Little fogger looks sweet. Kills my asthma though. I've been working with nets instead with fun results.

[@ShawnCBailey]

Those Rode mics were one of the best things I’ve ever bought 🙌🏻. Great video!

[@wexwuthor1776]

The timer has a very sunshiney feel. If it brightens your day, that's what matters most.

I really enjoyed your video Kent! Love the gadgets, i was thinking to upgrade my rode wireless go ii mics to pro. It was funny also. Your streaming video card effects were hillarious. And the timer? Dude, you are the definition of nerd. Loved it! Greetings from Greece.

[@ItsJuuustJen]

The delay being shown on the hollyland monitor is actually relatively impressive. We should be looking at the delay from the wired monitor to the iPad, rather than the delay from the camera to the iPad (specifically in this scenario) because Panasonic’s cameras have always had a bit of a delay over HDMI which is talked about in Gerald Undone’s videos. Sorry I didn’t mean for this to come off as “you’re wrong lol let me correct you” but I didn’t want people to not get the pyro set because from what I’ve heard (I haven’t used them) they seem to be a very good combo set for wireless transmission

[@hutcle]

The gh5 is also a good budget camera

[@noonecomics]

1:07 why?

[@voizeguy]

It's what we as subscribers want.

[@StandardStoryCo]

Soft launching a career pivot 🤫

[@kernzilla]

Just about blew water out my nose at 19:15; last time I heard the word “clickety-clacks” was Schmitt describing his Gremlin toenails in an episode of New Girl. Direct ref or not, made my day hahahahaaa. Great vid btw, love seeing array of gear to put on the list 🤙🤙

[@a_ram]

Shoutout to all the New Girl appreciators. People don't talk about that show enough.

[@vicentetintorer299]

hey kent, can those huge antennas of the Pyro 7 be replaced with the capsule-like antennas of the mars m1? if yes, it would be sick

[@mtmccornack]

I keep a Sony nex5n around in 2024 just for that super tiny stealth stuff like shooting in a store without permission. The size comparison from my nex5n to a7cii is the same size difference as my sony a7cii to my fx3.

[@TopshelfJunior]

S/O that GH6 !!! I loved that thing. And... SUBSCRIBED !

[@chris_sparrows]

I made a whole video about organizing my gear in those same bins. Definitely better than wondering where everything is.

[@erwickdsouza]

I love that your channel watermark says "subscribe"

[@rodirgoc3772]

A lot of interesting gadgets, thanks for the video! I had a question unrelated to the video; I don't know if you recall but there was a book you mentioned in your videos or on Friday Film notes about editors that do it all, what was the title? Thanks in advance

[@howiemccormick]

I need a little camera to keep at my desk. This (ZV-1) might do it.

[@howiemccormick]

also @ me 9:38 lol

[@danielerdos3046]

Ohh also, I shoot videos as my day job at an agency. A monitor for the account manager (acting director on set) would be really cool so they could see the take on the fly and then we shouldn't have to show them after the recording. Do you have a recommendation for something relatively cheap wireless solution? The Hollyland Pyro is good or is there something more basic (small agency, tight budget 😀)?

[@DroseMr]

Will the camera power the mic when mic direct to cam so it dont die? On the lav i think the direction should had been better pointing up🤷have you taped the lav forward to the shirt and use the shirt as the muff or cover?gotta get the bins and labeler!turned off the mic😝Times up!😝Awesome😅Thank You

[@RoldyLoxx]

I was going to leave a comment asking if you record your videos directly to your desktop because you were showing the Rode streamer panel but as soon as I had the thought, you answered it hahahaha

[@UserTenNumbers]

19:31 So where is the link that table?

[@archetypeproductions]

Do you put your camera on a timer and take a photo or use a still for your thumbnails?

[@robertdouble559]

Latency form the hdmi of the gh6 will be contributing way more to the ag than the transmitter.

[@KarosElite]

I know I’m getting g older because that notebook is just what I’ve been looking for.

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

Comica mic looks cool

[@MalakoMedia]

The coffee table deserves a mention

[@filmlab_uk]

this is really cool!!

[@danielerdos3046]

If you can afford it, you are not crazy 🤷‍♂️ if you put a mortgage on your house/car to buy it...then...😀 Do you use some crazy clickity-clackity editor board thingie for video editing (similar thing to your Rode streamer), or just good ol' keybo and mouse?

[@FULLofJOHN]

you just made me buy... so much stuff

[@TheFragranceApprentice]

Bro when are you doing a new festire film?

[@Pio_301]

great video thank you

[@ananthujohnson]

Hi. Please let me know which app was used to transmit video from Gh6 to iPad? Thank you.

[@StandardStoryCo]

Their Hollyview app

[@gedreeves9692]

Defs make a short film with the ZV1.

[@hughesy606]

Hi Kent, Don't shoot the messenger but it sounded like your audio was a bit off otday. I am listening on my laptop so it's probably 95% my tin can speaker but still.....

[@spacebricksstuidosproducto4122]

I hope you get to make the post treasure Olivier Brody 😢

[@StandardStoryCo]

More is on the way!

[@LoganVidesFilms]

1:05 The freaky footage

[@billyoung9538]

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad - The S. Crow... ;p

[@matadormartin]

Damn that timer is £113 in the UK I would be crazy…or would I?

[@Lunatic-Beleren]

when 4k video ?

[@joer7616]

Hi I wanna become a video editor assistant do you recommend me a course or something for learning from 0 to become a assistant i see on the internet the LinkedIn learning it's a good point to start but I'm really scared about if LinkedIn can teach me enough to become a assistant.

[@KTMagic]

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats made me crazy!

[@nda42831]

Let me ask you, do it talk back? If it does, I’m have to say she’s not the crazy one 😂😂😂

[@alifilmstuff]

Did I spot Zelda merch on the wall!?!?!

[@MattSpaugh]

Pffft... thanks a lot... I've already got all the 'old man' stuff so now I feel past it. Oh, and the Rode Wireless Pro.

[@clausstahl5413]

But the most important question is, where is that great table in your living room from?

[@StandardStoryCo]

I want to say Wayfair, I’ve had it forever

[@Red_x101]

Hi kent i live in Pakistan and look forward to becoming an editor also i am only 16 and don't have much money while i still want to learn to edit and earn money as a freelancer. Could you please guide me i am able to do only simple edting like key frames transition , effect etc in capcut dekstop. Suhaib,

[@Borodin410]

Terms we need to leave in 2024: "creative" "content" and "content creator". Ugh.

[@Zumafilmz]

$70 timer..... I get it 🤔

[@Vladshirokov]

Не хило однако хороший сетап что тут сказать

[@anthonypc-248]

**SPOILER ALERT** 70 bucks for a timer that doesn't show units of time. Don't gaslight your girlfriend.

[@mjgfromDDD]

Your growing habit to buy excessive filmmaking gear just to tell a story has grown into a desire for an expensive timer when you have it for free on your phone or laptop/tablet lol.

[@Komfortonset]

Hi my name is Kane Katubig, I design and sell film gear through Komfort On Set. All of our products are designed to make you smile on set. (For your Komfort on set)

[@A.Edilbi]

So basically this video is what a bunch of competitors gave you for free and you are obliged to make a video

[@StandardStoryCo]

I only take free stuff I’d consider buying anyway, and of all these the monitor is the only one I actually agreed to feature in a video. If it sucked id just say so, but IMO the wireless latency is the only issue

[@a_ram]

@@StandardStoryCo Hi, Kent! Aram from the Wrapped in 30 here. Maybe you know it already, but part of the latency is a problem with Panasonic cameras. If you do the classic claps to visually synch and do not transfer sound through the hdmi (it's an option on the hdmi menu in the camera) the latency is reduced quite a bit. I have never measured it with sound, but without sound it was about 4 frames on my S5.

[@StandardStoryCo]

@@a_ram Hey Aram, thanks for that tip! Gonna test that out today

[@CinePenguin89]

check out his video about getting gear from people for free, his mindset is very inspiring when it comes to that kind of thing

[@Adam_Summers]

Thats worth at LEAST 71 dollars.

[@brianknight7208]

Junk.

[@brianknight7208]

Just kidding. Fog device looks dope. Finally something affordable and convenient for small jobs that I would do.
