I Built Casey Neistat’s new favourite Camera

[@MUSKLR]

Was the video and audio shitty? Yup. But Casey was spot on: It has character and uniqueness, which was perfect for this video! Great job, love the creative solution!

[@DanMace]

Totally Mike yea shittest audio but what came out of the camera as a whole felt unique

[@dagasancreative]

@@DanMace greatest shitty rig ever lol. Well done on the story telling haha. Really saved the footage! :).

[@rishabagarwal712]

I really liked the form of the video 🥵🔥

[@sneakerset]

Reminds me of the barefoot genius George Greenough. He strapped a homebrew camera rig on his back , and went kneeboarding at Rincon (1969). The movie Innermost Limits of Pure Fun was /is a surf classic, and spawned Crystal Voyager. Pink Floyd liked Pure Fun so much they provided the soundtrack for Voyager.

[@ChinaDollTravels]

This is cool 😎 every time Dan and Casey are together it’s a good time!!!

[@DanMace]

It definitely is!

[@jamesquinn9866]

Dan you are constantly proving that the camera really doesnt matter. The idea is the spark and fire. Loving it brother

[@DanMace]

Exactly that bru!

[@supercoolmunkee]

A story worth telling is what matters over the quality of the camera.

[@Rikogala]

4:04 RIP TO THAT HIGH FIVE. Good to see Casey! Great video!

[@DanMace]

So stoked you noticed that. Haha

[@slcncr]

I bet the seller never in a million years expected that this would end up in a Dan Mace / Casey Neistat Video.

[@codey1391]

The seller probably has no idea who they are...

[@DanMace]

Probably not😂

[@DanMace]

Didnt seem like it

[@Keysey]

I really liked the end result with this camera, it gave the shots character and felt so much better than the new common 4k footage. Loved it!

[@maybeitstayla2289]

It genuinely turned out better then expected, and I agree with Casey, the less clean look is different to see now a days and to be honest i personally really like it!

[@DanMace]

There is something about it

[@gnareg]

Cool concept and great vid. My inner skate rat is internally screaming though because this looks like the classic rookie mistake for any skate filmer who got a new camera with a fisheye: leaving image stabilization on. I’m not sure if Dan did this on purpose, or if it just looks like it’s on because the camera was bouncing around inside the pipe, but usually skate filmers would turn image stabilization off to avoid the fisheye vignette constantly moving around. But hey, I’m not the expert filmmaker and the footage still looks pretty good and lively (especially for a super cheap diy rig!)

[@emmanuel_popoteur]

was looking for this comment! the shaky vignette was driving me nuts

[@marziadelevo]

That high five fail at 04:04 though😂

[@DanMace]

I was hoping no one would notice😭

[@RachaelPadilla]

I love shady camera acquisition footage! Excellent fun video! Teach the lesson that whatever you have to do to get the shot is what's required. IT doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work!

[@DanMace]

It was SUPER shady😂

[@dutchdroneadventures]

Wauw! Awesome video! And with Casey always fun!! Love IT! Thanks dan for this great video with the surf style!!

[@DanMace]

yo Dutch! Shot bru

[@dutchdroneadventures]

@@DanMace 😁😁👍 yes bru

[@jabbatf4951]

This kinda video brings me so much joy, there's so much character to yalls work it's beautiful

[@JamieMcEwanOfficial]

Watching this as I'm about to take an old 6mp digital camera for a photo walk. Love the creativity and fun that goes into your work, Dan! It definitely gives the footage character, and works perfectly with a good surf day!

[@DanMace]

Have fun!

[@ignaskarlonas4783]

The rhytmic edit and sound design of this video is on another level! Mesmerizing presentation as well as really cool concept! Total respect

[@badfishdub5446]

What a cool project. Casey's right about how the camera has a unique look. Reminded me of the look from old school skate videos.

[@KaspersPOV]

The story telling was absolutely simple and creative. Im in love with it

[@Rstamats]

This process reminded me of producing an 8mm film video in the seventies with children in P.T. Barnum housing in Bridgeport, CT. It was a monster film. I wanted as many children as possible to fit in a stairwell and exit that stairwell en masse screaming and frightened for their lives. I needed a dolly to move and allow the camera to be higher than most people. I found an old baby carriage (great suspension) and a step ladder. I affixed the ladder to the Baby buggy with wrapped wire and clamps. The camera was to be handheld about 8 feet high. Other children had to pull the Baby buggy slightly slower than the children ran. It turned out fantastic!

[@DanMace]

Such an inspiring story Richard! Goes to show it's all about using what you have that really makes the shot

[@TylerCheeseman]

Actually loved the edit. Feels like a classic skate edit with that old fisheye/shaky vignette. Nailed it.

[@jaisejohnson]

Wow, absolutely agree with what Casey said about the video shot on the camera.👏👏👏

[@DanMace]

Same bru

[@ClimbingCaed]

I’ve always loved the look of early 2000 cameras. Using cameras of different time periods can give so much depth to a film/video. Love it!

[@chrisintexas79]

This was awesome! Camera gave off a very Beastie Boys vibe along with early 90's surf videos.

[@adamooseandsammy]

Hahahaha "if bubbles come out of here, well then we are fucked!" I didn't know your speak fluent Australian 🤣🤣 Great video Dan, as always 😎👌🏼

[@TonyNelsonCamping]

Lots of fun!! "Lekke Bru!" Great to see you guys catching up! Thanks for all the effort.

[@KelvinMedinathezarkman]

Definitely takes me back to 368 era of Casey's vlog, the 3 act narrative along with the DIY approach to making things is definitely Casey inspired while the storytelling, the filming and the editing is very much Dan. Loved this video Dan amazing work!

[@DanMace]

Couldn't agree more!

[@mcmaschio]

Amazing video as always … Caseys videos about gear dosnt matter was so inspiring and pushed me to start my channel recording on my phone … loved the video Dan 💯🔥

[@DanMace]

Incredible to hear man!

[@tlcrf80mins73]

Love it. Many years ago I asked a photographer 'what's the best camera for capturing news photos?' He said: 'Whatever camera you have on you at the time". It's not the rig that matters - it's getting the shot by whatever means possible. Absolutely loved this. $17 and a foot of drainpipe and it tells a great, engaging, visual story. Awesome stuff.

[@DanMace]

Exactly! And often you have to get creative with what you have to achieve the show you want

[@canadude6401]

This is great to see our main man Casey again with you Dan. I love inventive minds making stuff, and I try to be one myself. I am currently building a custom soft cushioned side pillow for sleeping on airplanes and cars. It is going to incorporate all the "travel pillows" and accessories on the market in one unit. About $20 of materials.

[@DanMace]

Sounds awesome bru!

[@canadude6401]

@@DanMace Thanks Dan. Love your channel and your fun attitude!

[@LeeGMK]

I’ve bloody missed videos of you and Casey together. Finally x

[@DanMace]

I appreciate that bru

[@stinar]

memories of the feel and texture the Neistat Brothers had. Fake unperfaction is bad. This is great.

[@FazalSharif]

Ur creative Dan. Amazing video and u are very good in "storytelling"

[@DanMace]

I appreciate that, thank you Fazal

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

Amazing surfing shots!!! The end totally justified the means!!!!

[@DanMace]

Totally did

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Surfing combined with you and Casey makes for a great video.

[@DanMace]

Totally does

[@michaellacock]

Amazing video and inspiring! I love the look that this setup produces!

[@DanMace]

Happy to inspire

[@wiscohippie3491]

the video style gave me madd 90's early 00's xt'reme sports demo reels vibe right in the nostalgia keep it up dan and make more action vids with this rig my guy

[@DanMace]

Could be super awesome do some

[@dvnstone]

Crazy,,, I know nothing about film or even have an interest. But I still love watching this guy! You know what I mean BRU!

[@lukebowtell590]

That was sick!!! I remember have a cam-recorder like this one, which I still have and as it was my first one when I was super younger, I took care of it. Now this makes me want to go get it right now and see what I can do with it!! Thanks DAN, also this would be such a good video for up and coming film makers thinking, well for only $50 bucks here and there, I could get some sick footage of what ever you can think of, the possibilities are endless!!

[@DanMace]

Go get it! I’m totally for smaller more old school cameras. It has a style you know

[@skyboys9814]

No 50,000 dollar camera can do as good as that cheap camera and pvc tube did. That was classic videography with a nostalgic feel to it. Priceless! Remember the surf films of the 60's you and Casey should make a short movie, and you can't spend more than 200 dollars making it. 200 dollar budget make a surf movie with girls and beach party.

[@spidermonkey13159]

Loved it! Got the job done especially when you enjoy building it!

[@hilarypace2529]

Fantastic. Have no words at my enjoyment. Big hug to u both. Legendary.

[@kentweyers1845]

Reminds me of an early 90's skate/surf video. Absolutely dig it

[@johnhorner9692]

the footage from this rig was so much cooler than go pro ! ....do more !!!

[@Giventoflytrials]

I made one of these for my camcorder years before gopro came out. Maybe 2003 or 2004? So cool to see the similarities in my design and what you came up with. Great vid!

[@cherylsibson2529]

Dan, being terminally unique is the best quality to have and to be, was perfect video.

[@kennethestrup1058]

Absolutely fantastic, reuse of old gear. Upgraded for use for almost no money and it is pure retro output. You can do it. And provides always inspiration

[@DHoberer]

I love anything that has a Dan and a Casey. This is awesome.

[@JarrodAllies]

The legends of KZbin at it again! Love it guys! 🙌🏽🤩

[@DanMace]

Thanks so much zarbar

[@Shortofheight]

I’m such a huge fan of Dan. I’m annoyed it’s not getting the views it deserves

[@Lanceking2]

So great to see you and Casey together. Like a dream every time.

[@MARCOBOSS123]

Could you possibly apply a ceramic coating to the lens of the camera so the water slides down alot easier and would prevent the fogging on the lens? i am sorry i am not good at photography but seeing the results of ceramic coating i thought it would be a good asset to the rig.

[@ehJoe]

I agree with Casey it has style and a feel to it, it's awesome seeing you guys make content together, plus it's the only way we get to see a Casey vid theses days 😂

[@DanMace]

Has some awesome style to it definitely

[@hieshaamhendricks2452]

This video was so dope. And that final footage was pure 🔥🔥🔥

OMG Dan you're using what I refer to as one of my good cameras in my classroom.
