Correct 👍 Thanks for the advice
You are most welcome
Your video making is great. Weldone. Its very productive to rest or take that break every now and then.
Thank you! 😃
This so much resonates with me! Cos staring out as Mobile Videographer/content creator, I use to create to impress people and just fight for the views and likes until my account was suspended by IG! Then I realized I really need to be my original self and create, my audience would find me,Then I embarked on a 60 days challenge on IG and it went well cos I was not expecting those outrageous likes or comment but I was being very original to myself. So thank you sir for this
@@ShotbyTochi I’m glad you found this video and grateful that it validates your commitment to be original. Well done and keep going
After the cleaning the place looks very nice and clean❤.
Well it was a bit better. Still need to do loads more. Cleaning and organizing is very therapeutic by the way. It helps to clear the mind
Sir please do find a time for yourself to get enough rest. Yes that I used to feel like that too even the energy to get up and eat😅
If I'm honest, I've never fallen towards these sort of things... I can just use my Phone which has similar quality and don't need to spend a bunch of extra money for something like this.. It's great for vlogging though for sure just don't see a point with it for my sort of style (POV)
@@michaelcphotography1 yeah I get your point. I started using these kinds of devices because I’m into cycling and I didn’t want to risk damaging my phone if I fell or crashed. Over time I just fell in love with the dedicated form factor. Using a phone drains the battery and the phone is also a comms device. So that’s why I go for other devices. These days though I use my phone a lot more because it’s just convenient
@@bemoredomorehavemore That's fair, that's the only reason why I sometimes wonder of buying but i'd rather spend money else where and I only communicate certain parts of the day and go out recording once every few weeks anyways haha
Love the video! I feel so connected with the feeling you are saying, about being exhausted after completing some major work. Keep up the vlogs I love them 🙌
@@SantiFernandez1 thank you so much. Glad you liked it
Wow that's amazing ❤
Thank you
Very portable and sleek
Yes! I might not film every day, but I build myself up every day. I enjoy your message! And it's great to have a connection with someone who also strengthens himself every day! I'm here because of "you"! Greeting from New Zealand!
@@SangKiwi-ThisMomentILive thank you for your kind words 🙏. Great to connect on this journey of growth.
Would u mind teaching us how to create those cinematic way of make videos, you pretty good at it, i like it😊
I can try😀. Thanks.
I'm into handcraft, i seriously want to just upload daily and unplanned but i think that would be disastrous to my channel, i have to plan and rehearse my script so i can upload more accurate videos so it doesn't make me look like am confused while teaching 😢
Your products are very nice. I think it's good to start using a planned script, but as you get used to the process and get better, you will most likely be able to create spontaneously based on experience. I guess the bottom line is to just keep producing.
@bemoredomorehavemore ooh thank you sir
To be yourself is the most powerful tool we have. It is the one weapon God gave us and when you master the art of authenticity, you begin to transcend from the norm and what people want you to be. But let's not forget that other people's creativity can be the birth of ours. We don't necessarily have to do what others do, but keep them close coz they may help you wake the giant within you. Much love man, I'm on the same journey as you, at least you try to post. I don't even post as often 😂.......but I'm still super in love with life though. One day I'll come back and read this comment again.
@@saai593 I feel the positive energy in your comment. Much love and light to you 🙏🙏
Yeah. Please keep going the way you're going. This helps you strengthen your own style ( you already know) and connect with us who also want to have this way of living - authentic and kind! That's why a small community like this is important, to share and encourage each other to live a happier life. Good day to all of us! Take care❤
Wonderful comment. Thanks for sharing and spreading the positive energy 🙏🙏
Really great message. I wait for your videos. I really wish you had the time to do daily videos. I know that’s very difficult. But man your words speak to me. Keep inspiring! 💪
I will try! I want to give myself that challenge somehow. Glad to know my content resonates with you. It's very encouraging to me 👍🏻
Very relatable! It's been a season of amazing content from you. Thank you so much
@@aikaysgallery thanks brother
Sean, we happen to share similar struggles in this journey. consistency should be first over anything else. Plus, i seem to have bought into this notion that no body knows me hence theres no need to vlog about me. at the end of the day, its all about overthinking the process that give birth to procrastination and anxiety. great content.
You are right bro. Truly no one may know us, but every individual has something of value to share, whether it is dance, creative art, wisdom or just uniqueness. So I believe that each person should find a way to express their passions authentically without trying to be anyone else. And by so doing, you will leave your mark eventually. Thanks bro for sharing your thoughts
This really resonated with me. I always procrastinate on started a channel worrying about how I will come across to the world. But the message I took from your video is be yourself and your tribe and community will find you . Great content
I like the way you captured it. Thanks for the validation.
I enjoy your videos thank you 😊
You are most welcome. 🙏🙏🙏
What’s the difference between this and DJI pocket 3
The Pocket 3 differs in many ways from the Action 4. It’s not an action camera, it’s a camera with a mechanical gimbal, it’s not weather sealed and so much more👍👍
I appreciate your honesty! I subscribed a while back and continue to find value in your videos:) I think consistency is key! I think it's best to stick to 1 niche as well. I think it's good to gain an audience that will watch consistently, and then we can continue building from there. I started off my channel with faith and sobriety. Then I veered off into posting other things. I got a lot of views, but they weren't from returning viewers. So, I went back to making just faith and sobriety, and it just feels right. Like, that's what my audience wants/ needs me to talk about. I may do some of those other things later. But, right now, I feel like I'm called to stick with my niche. I enjoy it. I'm passionate about it. I think our audience can tell when we are being real. Stay consistent. Keep doing what you're doing. Great job!
Awesome. Glad to read your thoughts and experiences. I do appreciate your views. I'll subscribe right away
@bemoredomorehavemore Awesome! Thank you!!
I think what makes us interesting, and what makes the world interesting, is the different souls that are here. The different thoughts and different takes. So being you is exactly what is needed. I loved this message. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching also. Glad you liked it
Creating what I love!
Exactly!!! I am doing the same now. It releases me from the tension of trying to create for the 'algorithm'...
It was great to watch your video. Wishing more power and many more amazing videos ahead for this channel.
@@abcasajeros thank you so much 🙏🙏
Very thoughtful and impacting words of advice that are very relatable, thank you for sharing your light.
@@FLNR_VLOG Thank you for your words 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, this video has saved me from spending foolishly on equipment and later go to bed hungry because l would have spent all my money on equipment that won't generate my expenses, even it will, it will take about not less than 2-years. Thank you so much for this video or advice to we who are trying to comes in the utube business
@@harrisackon2613 glad you found it useful. Indeed it’s not about the gear you have, it’s about the story you have to share
That's nice advice
Oh! thanks you so much u have inspired me with this video and it have empower me to carry on my dream!
Can this gears be used in a podcast or an individual will have to get different gears
Not ideally, but if your budget isn’t big and you really like this set up, you can adapt it for any purpose. 👍
@bemoredomorehavemore Hmm. Noted.! I love how you communicate with the audience like seriously, most UA-camr don't do such, they consider us as ghost
Wow This video is for me Thanks for uploading this video
Most welcome 😊
Please can you put the link of the all the products ❤❤❤ thanks
I’ll do that 👍👍
So far I have only created Shorts, using the UA-cam technology. Long-form content and the editing process on a computer intimidates me. We don't have the best computer, too, and my husband has lost hours of work because of the hard drive or some component failing. Could you please do a series of videos on how you overcome some of these challenges, please?
I’ll add this to my content idea list. I really understand and I’m rooting for you to rise above these challenges in your journey. All the best and thanks for staying tuned in👍
This is all such incredibly helpful content!! You are bringing so much light into this dark world, and your content is so helpful and optimistic! I'm going to make sure my husband, @WavesNGames sees this, too.
My first time being your first viewer! I’m buying the stuff right now as we speak. Crazy timing.
@@King_of_habits Haha. Wow nice timing. Can’t wait to hear how your content creation changes with the device. Thanks for watching
I love this channel sir, I am a devoted fan Can you upload how to make travels and tours and documentary without no deep stress or lemme say no big spending
Hey thanks bro. Oh I'd love to for sure. That will be on my list
Thank you my friend. For sharing
Oh yes I love the video, and it was very helpful, it has given me a inspiration to craft mine, thanks a lot ❤
Thanks so much for the feedback. You are welcome
Damn! This is a wow. Thumbs up sir. I put down more than 20 points on my notepad
Awesome 😎. Thank for watching 🙏
@bemoredomorehavemore Hello sir.... Can I get your email sir ? I want to buy a camera for recording videos and doing footages by myself, and I am a beginner in content creation, I will like to start with the most affordable camera, I will need your recommendations on materials and your guide. I reside in Nigeria by the way
@@Feranmi_adisaTV You can send me a message on IG. Check my profile
Took a lot from this, thanks
@@TheOnlyGuero thank you for commenting. Glad you liked it
Definitely be >>you<< 💖💞💝
Yes. Definitely 🙏🙂
Thank you for this amazing video, it's like me creating content on food.
Thank you
You're welcome
I appreciate your video quality, even though it’s not important for the message, it shows your skill level and your passion! Great audio. Great color. Great story!
I appreciate that! In the past I used to let that obsession for quality slow me down. Thanks for your great feedback 🙏
Wow! This is what I wanted to hear. I also felt stuck with my UA-cam channel. I am now motivated to keep going
@@Kitchentocurls glad to hear it. Keep going. Don’t ever stop. Only to rest 😅
Thank you sir
You are most welcome
Just subscribed you... Great advice
@@Theestherstudio I really appreciate it 🙏
" too busy "..... " spins around "....Those were nice soft edits. Really nice
@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
I was formally a movie script writer although after I quit writing I became an actor.... I created a UA-cam channel where I tell stories t bring back my story telling ability but sometimes it's just so discouraging when you see you don't get views and I'm still struggling with image and studio
What I would say sir is keep telling your stories. And just be authentic. Forget the views. Create content for yourself as though you were the only one in the audience. One day it will all count. Cheers bro
Thanks for the video, after watching I knew I would find my solution in your responses, and I did. I discovered your video because I came across some lenses of mine which were remnants from a photography hobby from over 20 years ago. All the lenses were mint, indistinguishable from new lenses (in their boxes for over 20 years) except for the gray whitish looking rubber which detracted from their mint condition. As I pondered selling the lot, I began wonder how their value would be affected by the grayed rubber, so I took to UA-cam for solutions - literally. One of the solutions that jumped out to me in your responses, was applying some skin cream. That sounded like a great idea because the condition of the rubber looked like skin dried from harmattan conditions. Great idea then to use some gentle natural cream, not too oily and without fragrance. I had just the right product. Lubriderm - Men's 3-in-1 Lotion (Fragrance-Free) - This worked like a charm. I used some on the least costly of the lenses Canon EF Macro 100mm. Just a little applied with a cotton cue tip did the trick! I examined the result under 1000 lumens light and a 5-diopter magnifying glass and there was not a speck of the grayish white discoloration. I'll leave it for a couple of weeks and see how it looks with time before using on the other lenses, but you should try a natural cream next time instead of fairy. Incidentally all my Contax Distagon lenses also suffered the same, but the black Leica Elmarit lenses have plastic ribbed dials, so they did not degrade over time - rubber is like skin or leather being all natural, so some type of care is necessary over the years. Nice channel by the way.
Oh, my! I wonder one could be so compelling by being so simple and straigtforward! I wa captivated, to say the least. With so much pomp and show around I feel battling against odds outside me. And the eventual fall-out is that I begin to doubt my own skills. I will keep you watching...
Thank you for the heartfelt comments.❤️
