Camera Guy Math - If its under $100...its basically free

[@navinr9558]

So true

[@mtmccornack]

I've been laughing 😃 😂 for 5 min straight over this comment!

[@Camera-Guy_ODST]

Verified Fact

[@kacasio1]

$100 = 1 adult dollar

[@shotbysoeren9853]

Except of SD Cards …🥲

[@ScottJWaldron]

8:25 One nice easy to find alternative to gaffer tape is 3M No Residue Duct Tape. It's available at local home stores. That's my go-to and use it a lot. Works well longer term on surfaces too.

[@KevinBein]

I made my own Trekpack system a few years ago from about $30 worth of craft materials from Michaels. The core of those is just coroplast sheets. I just glued foam sheets to the coroplast sheets and cut them into strips the depth of the case. Then you can just cut them to whatever length you need. I made pins to link them together out of coated aluminum clothesline wire. It works exactly the same as the Pelican system at a fraction of the cost.

[@louisrafaelcom]

I went this route as well, with a couple of additions: there's EVA foam with adhesive backing and after loads of research I ended up getting split pins to connect the pieces. A long metal ruler is also very useful to cut the sheets to size.

[@ActuallyTong]

looks like the DJI Pocket 3 is hard at work

[@FlexinJC]

I have the Aputure MC light and am happy with it. I see some other items I would like to have. What I love about this video and your early looks at new products is, you get opinions from your friends. Sometimes they have a slightly different use or need and it is good to hear that angle. Also questions get asked and answered in the same video. Love the channel.

[@nagorb666]

Hi Gene. For the Aputure MC: if you have white selected in Sidus Link then on the bit that deals with temperature press "expand", you'll be able to drop it all the way down to 1500k

[@mtmccornack]

I always thought the tiny aperature lights were a little pricey. For the same cost of 1 light I picked up a couple nearly identical portable lights from some company called Soonpho, and although I can't speak to color accuracy I can say they are nearly identical in everyway except having magnets and come in under 40 bucks.

[@david_quach]

With the holidays coming up this video makes a good gift idea list for anyone who doesn't know what to get their photography or film making friends or family.

[@PierreReinhardt]

Thanks to you, I took a closer look at my situation with maybe having ADHD, and initially, finding out about having ADHD was quite challenging. After a short while, though, I came to accept it and now I understand why I’m doing things like I do…. better. Anyway, thank you very, very much for the push; it has made a significant difference. Greetings from Germany and ……oh look a squirrel 🐿️

[@hxllywxxd22]

Im so Fing HAPPY Sam's been back for the last couple of video's. I love watching your guys Bromance Blossom haha

[@darkkforest]

Thank you Kari for the clean and organized description 😊

[@w4ck02]

Aputure MC is great choice, highly recommended. Often times we wrap and fill the van at night, there's no light. Just magnet the MC's on the car and can pack accordingly.

[@mixtape5143]

Sunscreen added to cart, so can’t wait to try it! Always love your videos and I hope you do more on this level that are really relatable and something I can see myself possibly needing and purchasing.. 😊🤙

[@MaxMut.]

Your channel is the guide line”

[@NathanBuildsRobots]

16:17 100% agree with the Anker power bank. I plug into my A7iv to power it and some accessories and can shoot for 8 hours straight. Way better than spare batteries, which I always lose. Plus you can use it to top off you laptop or phone. AND with a 140W charger you can charge it to 100% in under an hour. Such a good power bank

[@KevinLe]

Ok. The swivel trekpak panel with the Allen wrench hack just made me wanna throw my phone! Mind blown.

[@patregan]

I bought a big box of individual sized ketchup-style packets of sunscreen, and a similar box of bug repellent wipes. I keep a stack of each in my FPV bag. They work for me in an emergency if I forgot to slather up at home, but they are even better for sharing. You don't have to worry about your friends or people you have only just met licking your bottle of bug spray or drinking all your nice sunscreen. You can just throw them their own packet!

[@NE_Pigeons]

Love your videosand content! 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[@JeremyKruis]

Having the details is really helpful! It’s nice knowing a few different possibilities and directions the storm might go! Thank you!

[@yasha1928]

Hey, this is the video that made me buy that card reader! It's excellent value for the speed and consistency you get from it! Awesome stuff Potato Jet 😁

[@ovalord516]

There are some great stuff at that price point. Appreciate all the research that was done!

[@pres002]

I use a peak Design backpack clip for my camera best thing ever

[@AbdulQadir-dc8se]

The PGYTECH card reader ad didn't look stage until he dropped it and u said "Good thing its durable with the rubber protectio thing.." lol

[@Jay-R_Seven]

I didn't know there were so many tools that are so useful. Thanks for the tip

[@ironcrafter54]

It's my birthday today, Just the video I needed to decide what to spend my birthday money on! Thanks

[@LukeAntunes]

You guys are just the best! I love the vlog style vids. Thanks for sharing!

[@DopeyFPV]

That lipo charger in the beginning is prob the most useful to me in my travels.

[@timng81]

Added sunscreen to my cart first!

[@Ponkotsu67]

Dealbreaker for the mantispod is the propietary mounting connector and you have to use an allen key to fasten and remove the base plate from each of your cameras.

[@cheavideography781]

You are getting really good with FPV!

[@Draconis8888]

That Pgytech card reader/holder is legit cool. Putting it on my list. Thanks!

[@cordials_blogs]

I really enjoyed this type of video! Keep it up Gene, can't wait for the A9 review!

[@MrProgrammer74]

This was unironically useful. Thanks!

[@OrangeBrick8]

My wallet keeps trying to run away 😂😂😂

[@birdswithbeau]

Astrophotography is great! I think you'd really enjoy it!

[@OMentertainment]

Perfect timing, my birthday is in 5 days, sooooo

[@bedeckt]

Hey are you going to get a DJI Agras? I mean it can hold a person so a nice fat camera setup cant be too bad? Google says it can go up to 36kmh

[@JiajuChen]

damn, i will probably end up buying half of all these gadgets, actually useful stuff.

[@AjaySingh-228]

Amazing tools bro

[@MichaelSuperbacker]

I need all of this!

[@drmatthewhorkey]

I love both those aputure lights you recommend, both the light and the bulb. Such great stuff and with the Sidus link App, soooo money

[@DannysDesigns]

Long Beach. Use to live right there by blue colored building at the beginning of

[@mcewan-media]

Massive Gas video , i couldn't keep up 🤣

[@droproductions4542]

Potato jet is now suspected of having a collab with amazon….

[@inpursuitofbirds]

I have the CreateMate for my mini iPad. Love it.

[@backcountryadvmoto]

Love this. Great video and I use many of these, but some really great options

[@JamieFurlong]

This is really useful, thank you.

[@FoxWeddings]

We are such a big fan of you guys ! We would love to shoot your wedding !

[@naked_rider_au]

Really enjoyed this vid... and my Xmas list is sorted!!

[@munirone]

What a cute couple! I LOVE YOU GUYS!! ❤❤

[@heiko4297]

I know it's over 100 Bugs, but where to find the inlay for the Pelicase Mockup?

[@JonMurray]

You guys make me smile :)

[@MikeDancy]

this is why I animate all my videos and don't require any camera gear. I don't even use real animation. I just use sticks and leaves that I find in the woods and put them in the positions that I want and then draw them with pencil on paper and scan those to create the video.

[@monchoboy41]

if you're in a pinch and need a blower for your lenses, you always can find a baby nasal aspirator in a drugstore or walmart. They are dirt cheap, and do basicaly the same function as the giottos rocket air blaster, they also suck air, so it can be useful

[@AllenRReid]

Love Portabrace, but man are they expensive.

[@andrebenjamin3289]

What is that thick battery?? 4:03

[@macfawlty]

The Anker Powerbank may be heavy, but it charges my iPad Pro super fast using the USB C.

[@Nine-Apex]

i just bought a zv e10 this video is perfect

[@recodez]

Nice work ! Thanks

[@markwoll]

iFootage Anglerfish HL1 C4 RGBW handy light is a nice inexpensive light. It's got RGB, magnets, a cold shoe with a 1/4 20 control from an app with BT. $40

[@joemoya9743]

Excellent

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

Please add time stamps

[@marc-antoinelacourse5910]

LEATHERMAN Bracelet (Tread) : The tool has now been discontinued for more than 6 months. I own it from the first release and love it !

[@droproductions4542]

We want a Sony a9iii review!!!

[@jonathanblanckaert]

The quality of the osmo pocket 3 is so good! how LOL

[@yogajoeguy]

Congratulations on your wedding

[@BlairAir]

I always carry a Leatherman as well. I've done so ever since David Leatherman started selling them on the late show. I wonder if he's still making money on them -and if he started selling his name correctly.

[@ThorstenBergContentCreator]

here goes my credit card limit again.... how to explain to my wife that I really needed all that stuff... lol

[@kraftpictures9145]

Which drone can you recommend for the gopro?

[@voice2skull.]

[@DanLiveOnUTube]

Kari: You can draw happy faces... Gene: ORRRRR P***S

[@PiecesofVinyl]

c; mon! You argent even gonna mention Pita's AWESOME Goggles!

[@mariorruiz]

Potato jet: spends thousands of dollars and hours making a new studio, goes making his videos outside or in the car 😂

[@syn3rgyz]

what kinda seat does kari have on her road bike?

[@definingslawek4731]

the 3 inch sub250 quad was new and thats why you paid import tax on it? Or they made you declare the new value of a used item.

[@Finalfootagefilms]

(LoL) @ Porta Brace Clear Pouches for $39.. Walmart has clear Binder Pouch for $0.97 each thou

[@SirPollin]

jet what camera used to film this

[@SirPollin]

[@ShangleLP]

[@rafael.gazoni]

I was so focused on the quality of the Osmo pocket 3 that I completely forgot what is the content of this video.

[@zaiENT1]

in australia is has to be 60 US to be under 100 lol

[@samebloke]

Are all of your viewers invited to the wedding?

[@daverizz]

Johnny Harris did the astro photog for a while, and got super excited about it, but then got hella frustrated and I think he quit.

[@brightdaygaming5692]

the 90$ light is bs, compared to the cheap andoer or whatever what is 20$, you could buy nearly 5 of them for the same price. im not too shocked tho when affiliate links are involved.

[@Ale21620]

Instead of paying someone to film your wedding you should have 10 (gopro,360. osmo mobil...) and give them to your bridal party to film their point of view. And that way those brands will pay for your wedding.

[@AkaBull]

Noice!!!!

[@bice100]

Use goo gone for those sticky residue.. 😀

[@techislife2843]

Hey potato is any new insta360 360 camera coming up ?
