[@canadude6401]

I've already bought a Pentel P209 based on Van's love for it. (I never knew about thicker lead mechanical pencils until Van mentioned it.) I bought a Canon S110 pocket camera based on Casey's love for it 5 years ago. Now, I guess a GoPro 10 is on my shopping list. I don't respond well to "ads", but when an authentic person raves about a product with no ulterior motives, that is the product I choose. It has served me well. I like good products, not good ad campaigns.

Also Van, you can setup your iPhone to be in 4K 24 FPS video with two swipes and one touch. 😀 Eric.

[@thenexthobby]

With face recognition I can do it with one touch. A second tap starts recording, and all in about 2 seconds. Presumably every modern iPhone user knows this, but only if they "only" use it as a camera. So yeah we get Van's point about dedicated hardware having value, but a few seconds of _planning to use the iPhone_ can easily overcome the limitation demonstrated in the video. Bonus points were awarded for not seeing the dedicated camera button on the Home screen. :)

[@KisaYouTube]

@@thenexthobby well said.

[@Adam-vx6to]

His whole segment trying to make the iPhone look hard to use was boarder line absurd. Purposely making it seem way hard to prove some imaginary point is a Silly and disingenuous thing to do

[@SAStarbucks]

Correct, go into camera settings and set it to keep the camera mode (you stay on video, or cinematic if using a 13 and want that) and it keeps the video settings. Then raise your iPhone swipe left and press volume up to start recording, takes about 2 seconds. The image stabilisation on the GoPro is amazing though so I would keep that as your go to.

[@Spootyskater]

Looked for this comment - I can begin using my iPhone camera in less than a second with a single swipe left from the lock-screen; it is the fastest and most convenient of any camera I have.

[@plain2655]

Van, you can change the default recording settings on iPhone to 4K rather than HD. Also, just hit the camera button on the lower left of the Lock Screen to go right to the camera

[@BennyTheGinger]

“Preserve settings” is what to search in the setting app. Can preserve video format and/or photo vs video at startup. Also: backtap can’t instantly launch the camera from the lock screen or Home Screen.

[@whatisiswhatable]

and if that wasnt video?

[@robm425]

Stabilization is insane. I was going to buy myself an cheapo 4k action cam, but the stabilization on this makes me want to get the GoPro. That is insanely stable

[@JoelRosenfeld]

Stabilization on the Hero 10 is really phenomenal. It's a great camera to record with while walking around and vlogging. Great for vacation and travel shots when you don't want to have a big DSLR with you too.

[@dw6600]

Hi Van. You don’t need to unlock the iPhone to use the camera. Just click the camera icon on the unlock screen. Bottom right corner. It’s right there in your video at 1:34 😊 Takes about 1 second.

[@r3mzzai]

You can even set the camera to open in the last used settings. The camera is then always in video mode. In camera settings you can also save that video mode should always be 4k 24 frames.

[@CalumRaasay]

That was amazing! The canon SD870 is the only video camera I ever owned before a gopro and then eventually started working for gopro from there. Been at gopro 11 years 👌🏻 thanks for this awesome story.

[@arnauds2222]

I think you could definitely have your iPhone camera ready in less than a second with a few tricks. First, don’t unlock the phone, just swipe to the right of the locked screen (and btw your faceID might have a problem if it never works, I would advise bringing it to an apple store). Then, in the settings, you can make it so that you don’t have to reconfigure the camera every time by changing default resolution and frame rate as well as activating the option to remember last camera mode used. Hope this helps, sorry if a thousand people already explained this (and sorry for bad English, hi from Belgium!).

[@deadcenterfilms]

your videos come across so simple. The amount of work you put into each video is not lost on me. Love it! ...and the music is exceptional.

[@oPAULo711]

Step 1: submerge camera in nasty pond for 1 hour and go rent a paddle boat. Step 2: smash camera into paddle boat. Step 3: begin review. Step 4: sell 1 million go-pro 10's. Dearest go-pro, Van is your man.

[@MeadValleyBoyz]

I agree with your brother about phones being the best cameras. Because we always have it and they’re getting better every year. If you took the time to see how simple all the issues you had with the iPhone, are easy to solve.

[@josephwilliamcharles]

This made me sad. I’m not old, I’m in my 20s. But this slapped me with so much nostalgia after this long day. I remember fawning over the first GoPro as a child and the amount they have improved it over the years is some how the most tangible scale of time I have felt in a while. Life is pretty cool.

[@holottawang]

iPhone, you set setting permanently. To use, swipe left or hold camera icon from Lock Screen. From screen off to shooting in ~2 seconds.

[@kirto9310]

not sure if someone else has mentioned this but if you 1. Open settings on your phone 2. Swipe down with your finger to reveal a search bar 3. Type in "camera" 4. There, you should find a whole bunch of options for changing the phones default camera settings(you can even tell it to to launch with the video option selected) Also the shortcut to access the camera is to swipe from right to left on the lock screen, you can also hold down the camera icon (you'll get feedback in the form of a quick buzz; that's how you'll know when to let go of the button). Hope this helps.

[@computationalcinematographer]

For iPhone there’s a setting for it to remember the last mode, eg if you were last on video, then it goes back to video, also just swipe from right side to left to not unlock to get camera. Also I own two different Kubrick cameras, the Arriflex and a Neuman Sinclair which he used for the death POV in Clockwork Orange because it was indestructible.

[@CloudSturgeon]

I appreciate that your criteria for a good camera are all about function as opposed to technical specs that, despite being meaningful to few, dominate most online reviews.

Word!

[@Sheety33]

Van! What is the black take on the GoPro? Does it help reduce / eliminate wind noise?

[@AANasseh]

Van, you can swipe left from locked screen and be straight in 4K video. You just choose remember last camera settings from the setting menu and be on 4K video. Then you go straight from the pocket raise, left swipe and use the volume button to shoot. It took me 1second to start shooting 4K video. That's much faster than the GoPro.

[@JustVishCreativeStudios]

Loved it Van! You are amazing ❤️

[@hughsundelson8143]

I’m absolutely blown away by your videos getting better and better. You’re an unbelievable talent young man

[@JiMiDuclos]

I have an old Google Phone Pixel 2, can shoot in 4k. And most important, camera is quick to use: Double hit the power button and bam! You are in photo/video mode (shooting only). You can shoot, but you can not access anything else on the phone. The best part (for me) is the fact that google give you UNLIMITED automatic cloud storage for everything you shoot with that specific phone.

What I like about Moto phones is that all you have to do open the camera is twist it twice. Two flicks of the wrist and you're taking pictures or video. Also, two chops, and the light turns on. I used both of these motion functions multiple times per day.

I think you just need to set up the iPhone camera correctly. I double tap the back of my phone and it opens up the app, you can also default to video. The filmic app also is a good option so you can keep your iPhone camera for kids photos and the filmic app for more serious shooting and it keeps the files seperate

OMG! I have been contemplating the same thing. I still have the GoPro 4. I gave my fisrt GoPro to some a couple brothers who were kayaking around the world with no paddles. I spent a whole summer shooting 360 videos for the Olympic marine sanctuary. After three months I was still frustrated with it. I love the idea of the modular design and being able to customize the camera but the lens got scratched and the replacements are on back order. I think it's time to retire my GoPro 4 and get a 10. I tried the DJI ozmo but it's slightly awkward to film with. No 1/4 jack and it's hard to mount. I traded it up for a Black Pro Mist filter.

[@WarmHandshake]

I actually just got my first gopro since the first iteration of the GOPRO HERO. I was too young and inexperienced ti understand how to properly use it. I just got an 8 and im so happy to hear how happy you were with it. Im going to put in my due time with it before getting the newest model next!

As a cyclist, I just saw you do something that many parents do; Put your very young kid on your bike as you ride. SERIOUS problem - kid wearing helmet = Good. You NOT wearing helmet = VERY bad. Why? 2 reasons; 1) Sends message to kid that when they reach certain age, it will be ok to ditch the helmet. 2) More importantly (God forbid) if you crash/fall, etc and smash your head (and...providing some miracle the kid doesn't suffer injuries) unable to respond. Is the kid able to call (911 maybe) for help? Maybe this is just an oversight on your part. I can tell by watching your videos, you always try to do the right thing and are concerned with safety. So, I hope you'll understand where I'm coming from. That being said...your videos are always great and I enjoy them. I'm an Osmo Action guy but after seeing this video, I will take a closer look at the GP 10. Thanks, again and safe(ty) travels.
