Filming someone named Monica with Mono using a monopod with a monochrome profile on a monorail would be funny :) K I'm done. bye

[@AnindyaMitraDigitalStoryteller]

Don't be a M-acist Peter..

[@kasperholmjensen8540]

Additional pro-tip for smooth panning: When you already have your elastic bands with you, throw one of them around the monopod handle and use the band to pull the handle and pan it. Totally takes out any non-smooth movements

[@tylorkc]

Just struggled with trying to get my filter off for the past 30 minutes. I never would have thought your intro magic would solve my problem. You are full of surprises Peter, and for that I thank you

[@jeanmorelli1588]

I am fairly new to your channel and I just want to thank you! You are a great guy, not only insanely good in photography but your personality just make this channel so unique and incredible!!! You deserve everything and so much more. Well done!

Thank you for continue making videos at you old studio. I just love it!!

[@ErickDanielcc]

Peter I’ve been watching you for some time now and I absolutely love everything you do, I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos and it truly has helped me take better shots and sparked my curiosity for video production. Thank you so much for your content it’s always a pleasure to watch and learn!

[@Itsabuzzworld]

when you are doing those really high shots with the monopod, are you just letting the camera autofocus pick it's focus point and hoping for the best?

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Yep!

[@brianlinton910]

Pete you’re making the kind of videos worth waiting to watch when you can really pay attention. This is the kind of stuff decades later people will still be amazed. Thanks for staying true to what you do and not falling into the trap of making the same generic everybody does garbage so many tubers have. You the man!

[@tayloeclements]

AHH!!! YOU ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE KZbinr!!! I have learned so much following you over the years. Thank you!

[@FranklinEspino]

I don't comment often on your videos because they are packed with info that there are no more questions to ask, but the magic tricks at the beginning, great start!

[@sniperlife4966]

You don't mention anywhere what monopod you're using.

Yeah, and the description has been updated so the links below are no longer. Damn 😅

Great Tutorial Bru! Most helpful, I love those Monopods

Great stuff, Pete! Been considering getting a monopod for a while now and this just made me question why I never went through with it. Definitely gonna have to add it to the arsenal. Lovin’ these magic intros too!

Peter is a legend. Combining both his passion together, only a few have done that 😍😍❤️ LEGEND

[@UnliAhon]

can we vlog on a video monopod? just picked up one recently, so far loving the fluid movements. i still need to clock in more hours on using it. i just only used it for the horizontal pan 😂 i bought this one first as it was way cheaper than a gorillapod.

[@juakocapo11]

Loving that you start every video with magic tricks! Loving all your content too, thanks a lot. Love from Argentina!

[@CordellMeiburg]

Love that you didn't give up on your home studio! It's like a throwback... wait can you start a throwback Thursday?! maybe like refer back to old videos like a camera hacks part 2!

[@NickIby]

HUGE takeaway- its not about having every piece of gear, its about being creative with what you have!! SO DOPE! :)

[@ericpaulgoldie]

So so so true. Filming on a budget is fun and it forces you to be creative.

[@MershonMuscle]

Isn't that the truth for life in general!

[@iamYork_]

Positively helps much...

[@RobertoBlake]

I actually have the same monopod myself and it’s insanely good!

[@juansigamer]

And insanely expensive

I've looked but can't seem to find out exactly what monopod it even is. Anyone ?

[@gozgone]

Dwain Henry Manfrotto MVMXPRO500

[@wcsdiaries]

can i use it for my sigma 60-600 or is that lens too big for a monopod like this?

[@ACoderThatMakesFilms]

Always look forward to your videos. You are a legend. Partially inspired by your videos to get into filmmaking. What inspires me mostly is your story and your skill in storytelling. Smashed it!

[@ThisMessyHappy]

Forget the actual content of this video (which is still great by the way) but your vibe is awesome, brother. I’m learning a lot and loving it. Cheers

[@NicksFort]

100% love the manfrotto monopod. Peter is right this tool is SUPER HELPFUL for filmmaking. Don't wait, get on it, GET YOURSELF ONE!

Also everyone when you travel will constantly, forever and always, get confused that it's not a tripod LOL

[@stevieelder2422]

Fantastic videos Peter. Iv learned so much over the last month or so by watching your tutorials. Thank You.

[@Tunpulaattori]

4:23 Actually you shouldnt use that to introduce more friction/resistance to tilts. That is a tilt lock. More expensive fluidheads come with a tilt lock and a separate switch to change the amont of friction. If you use tilt lock to get more friction it wears down the mechanism and may break even break the thing.

[@creativemofoo]

Tuomas Rahikka dude's been using it that way for 8 years, but yea, your condescending ass knows more, right...

[@Tunpulaattori]

Creative Mofoo take it down a notch😄 im just saying doing that alot may cause damage and it may recude its lifespan.

[@YaZeen]

I Feel like its about time to bring the vlogs back ;)

[@PeterMcKinnon]

I bring the vlogs back, people want tutorials. I make tutorials, people want vlogs. I film at the office, people want my home office. I film at home office, people want to see the office. LOL. So I just do whatever I want, cause, well, that's the whole point of this right? ;)

Haha 😂😂Totally Agreed! I should say that u r doing a great job keeping up the flow! and P.S. Don't always do what the fans want because u might not enjoy doing it.

[@AudioClipsbyGreg]

This is,by far,the best mono-pod video I've ever seen. Great tips, Peter. Great video as usual, but really found this useful. Another thing about turning a tripod into a mono-pod, if you have the highly flexible ones you can use one of the two free legs, or both, as stabilising handles. My manfroto has a lock off head so you can get those directional tilts. Does not work with a ball head. Cheers

[@JimiRadcliff]

Hey Peter! I just wanted to take a moment to give you some positive specific feedback. I remember seeing your videos pop up in my "recommended" section, and I watched a few thinking they were cool, but I wouldn't use your advice. Those were due to some of your videos highlighting ways to stand out on instagram. While I use instagram, it is really just a bunch of shots of my dogs. Anyway, as time went on, KZbin kept recommending your videos, and I kept peeking in on them. I started to realize that you are much more than just instagram tips, and your passion, energy, and humor have kept me coming back for each new video you publish. I am digging the little magic tricks you fit into the intros now. The level of care you put in on every video really shows, and I absolutely love what you are doing. So, I just wanted to say thank you. Your fan, from the U.S. city directly north of Canada, -Jimi
