+Flying The Nest Meee! :D And on your channel as well! :D And on mine - taking the drone out for its maiden flight this weekend. ;) Have fun in good ol' Europe! :)
You're going to love the Inspire! Selling mine though sadly because it's ridiculously difficult to get commercial aerial filming permits in Canadian cities and I don't want the liability anymore. I might recommend buying / flying a cheap Pico QX quad first to get used to the layout of the flight controls - you'll be able to learn how to fly it aggressively indoors without worrying about bumping into things :)
I've been slacking on my vlogg watching, but I was quickly reminded of why you're still one of the best Ben! Very cool camera bag bit. And now with the addition of the drone......next level! Can't wait to see what your creative mind comes up with. Love the return of the finger dancing! And can we just acknowledge how bad ass rocker Adrian looked at 9:40! Safe travels!
I've been hearing about drones for the longest time and always thought that I would never really find a use for one. I think I have just changed me mind!! Watch your extremities and have fun with that! Can't wait to see some footage!
It's SUCH a pleasure having a visit with you each day. it's also SO pleasant to spend time w/ someone who isn't so sophisticated that he can't get excited about getting a drone & letting it show. btw, DON'T play w/ the drone inside until u are VERY comfortable w/ it. All kinds of mayhem can ensue! (& never mind how I know that!!! ;-) LOL)
So excited to see costa rica vlogs because i started watching you when you were there last time and in my opinion these are one of the greatest vlogs i saw on your channel :) hope you have a great time
Thanks Ben! I've been watching for a bit, and am just really getting back into photography after a long hiatus and only just getting into vlogging. This was really helpful! :)
I saw Jeremy playing live yesterday in Utrecht, Holland!! It was so so so amazing!!! Everyone that didn't knew him loved his show so much!! Had such a great time! :D
I'm new to the channel but so far I really like youe vlogs. You've made a ton of progress. Isn't it crazy to see how much you grow? I mean you did start off with a gopro. keep up the good work!
So pumped for tomorrow. And yes that was the worst idea starting up the inspire one inside if it's your first time. But I doubt it's the first time you have flown one, or is it?
Eyyy, question... I currently have a 5d mark iii and really no lenses, besides the 50 and a couple other cheap ones. I shoot surf lifestyle kinda of stuff. I was looking at the 24-70 2.8 but was told the 24-105 would be better as a primary lens, at least for now. The mark ii is coming out and looks better. Plus the fact it has IS. What's your thoughts on this, what would you get if you were me? Cheers Ben!
Hey Ben! I've been following you since the Rickshaw run in India and it's amazing how much you have improved. Really love the way you capture life, very unique :) Have you thought about coming to Portugal any time soon?
That is quite a haul, Ben. I hope to build up a nice collection of camera gear to go with my D3200 by Christmas. BTW, I looked up the camera store on Google, and as far as selection goes, Orms is to Cape Town as Samy's is to L.A. and B&H to NYC
I just bought the book :), thank you for the heads up on that. Ben, you move around an awful lot as do many other UA-camr's close to you, as a result you have more travel experience than many, any chance of putting your heads together as UA-camrs and creating something travel centric? tips, tricks, packing advice things you've learned along the way, eg, Moving all that equipment safely as carry on.
Hey Ben love the vlogs, just wondering how did you purchase a drone with all the new laws about drones here in South Africa ?+mrbenbrown stay Brownie👌🏼
That's a lot of equipment! You really carry all that around all at once all the time? Why some of those lenses don't have caps on them? I could see a lot of dust on one of them! :)
+Seana Sparkle hope he has something like a skylight filter on them. clean the filter, not the lens. plus an added bit of protection. I have cracked a couple filters without harming the lens.
its one of worlds biggest mysteries why Ben Brown doesn't have more subscribers, when his content is worthy of millions
Wooo yes!!! Who else is excited for amazing drone footage :D
+Flying The Nest Meee! :D And on your channel as well! :D And on mine - taking the drone out for its maiden flight this weekend. ;) Have fun in good ol' Europe! :)
Started off with a Go Pro and Powershot120, now look at you. Chuffed to see you've amassed all this gear, Ben.
Can I just say how much we appreciate you sharing this content with the world? Thank you, Ben, just thank you.
If you have a crap day Mr Ben Brown vlogs will always put a smile on your dial. Just soothing to watch and that drone is wicked 👍🏻
Sup Ben! Have you ever thought of visiting New Zealand someday? Think you'd like it there a lot to unleash your mad camera skills. Safe travels man x
Ben, I just got a new Canon EOS 700D!! Your my biggest inspiration and the reason behind me getting a new camera! Love you stuff!
+dhawmacinnes i have the 700D, great camera :)
+Martin Hayfield agreed. It's amazing!
+Martin Hayfield I'm very tempted to get it, is it good?
Or should I save a bit longer for the 70d?
James semaj no get the 700d or even a cheaper dslr and invest in good lenses!
+Martin Hayfield that's true, lenses are the main thing, and they're pricey
Thanks for the reply man 👌🏼
Every single thing you can capture just got better. Can't wait to see what you do with the drone.
personally i think this is the best vlog you have made! (and i have whatched you for over a year)
You're going to love the Inspire! Selling mine though sadly because it's ridiculously difficult to get commercial aerial filming permits in Canadian cities and I don't want the liability anymore.

If I ever found a place like Orms here in Atlanta I would be poor. There's no getting around it.
MISTER ZOOMY! :D Can't wait for everyone to see the next vlog! ;)
So stoked!
Thanks heaps for sharing your camera bag items Ben!!
I've been slacking on my vlogg watching, but I was quickly reminded of why you're still one of the best Ben!

How often do you use the 70-200?
Maybe once a week
Oh god I got so excited watching you in that camera store. I want all that stuff.
it makes me emosh how proud i am, as a viewer, of how well you're doing
These videos are literally my vibe! i cant wait to move to Cape Town next year!

Congrats on the new drone Ben. The Inspire will make a great addition to all the great photo / video gear you have.
On days like this, you and your blogs truly cheer me up. Keep it up Ben Love the vlogs x

NotYourAverageJoe welcome to the channel!
That drone looks so bad ass!!! The footage you're going to get it's going to bring your content to the next level! Woo!
I'm so excited to see what you do with the drone!
5:14 - please can someone tell me what this 'mini tripod' is called? can't find it anywhere and i think it would be really cool to do POV shots
Crazy camera store. Crazy camera gear. Absolutely worth it. Great job Ben :D
Hi Ben, where did you get your camera strap from please? Thank you!
Ben, how do I get / make that little fluffy (wind guard) thing on top of your vlogging camera? Is their a video somewhere?
Love the camera setup!
I'm so glad you mentioned that Jeremy is going back to Europe!! I just bought tickets and I'm so excited!!
Sooo jealous of your gear, Ben, you have an awesome range of stuff. Can't wait to follow your trip to Costa Rica! Safe trip.
Thanks for showing us! Also, have you ever thought about getting a Super 8 film camera? Would love to see what you do with one of those...
No idea how long ive been waiting for this!!!
I love all your cameras, dude.
Can't believe it is Vlog Ep.778.
I am your new subscriber when Casey take me here.
Seeing Jeremy in SF tonight! It's 1am Thursday here haha For now I'll go back to this all nighter finishing up my midterms!
When you guys were playing with the drone and both freaked out. Adrian's "oh my God" cracked me up
So pumped for you to be heading back to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!!
So pumped for tomorrow. And yes that was the worst idea starting up the inspire one inside if it's your first time. But I doubt it's the first time you have flown one, or is it?
You have some pretty serious gear there and now the drone! Nice!
Hahahaha, super excited to see the next vlog 😁 that drone looks savage
Hey ben do u like the gopro session?
im thinking about getting one!! what you reckon
Thank you so much for doing this video 😊 ❤️
Loved the gear talk!!! And YESSSSSS to finger dancing action! Keep up with that Ben :)
The show last night was so great! wore my Work in progress shirt! represent!!
Love the way all the camera things look placed out like that, looks sick :)
Eyyy, question...
I currently have a 5d mark iii and really no lenses, besides the 50 and a couple other cheap ones. I shoot surf lifestyle kinda of stuff. I was looking at the 24-70 2.8 but was told the 24-105 would be better as a primary lens, at least for now. The mark ii is coming out and looks better. Plus the fact it has IS.
What's your thoughts on this, what would you get if you were me?
Cheers Ben!
Ian get the 24-105 mark 2...very good lens
What led light is that? It's quite compact and good for travel!
Hey Ben! I've been following you since the Rickshaw run in India and it's amazing how much you have improved. Really love the way you capture life, very unique :) Have you thought about coming to Portugal any time soon?
Ben Brown knows how to make a good video, great job dude!
what camera do you walk around with getting your misc stuff / vlog. Smaller handheld camera I assume?
Nice! I've been waiting for some sort of "whats in my camera bag". So, what lens was mounted to the FS700?
Yesssss I love perving on camera gear! :)
Loving the defender is that a 300tdi ?
That is quite a haul, Ben. I hope to build up a nice collection of camera gear to go with my D3200 by Christmas.
BTW, I looked up the camera store on Google, and as far as selection goes, Orms is to Cape Town as Samy's is to L.A. and B&H to NYC
Great blog! Where did you purchase your awesome camera strap? Thx :)
Thank you for the vlog Ben! Better late than never :) Have a great time in Costa Ricka and good luck with your film!
Nice gear man! What do you use the Nikkor lens for? I didn't see a Nikon body in this video...
+Adam Tan Bro! All Canon uses are secretly in love with Nikon glass - they just don't like to admit it...
Tim Palman Hahahaha so true, still not sure what it's for though...
+Adam Tan Same question..
+Tim Palman its the other way around. Try getting f1.2 in nikon glass.. oh wait...
+Zac Rockwell
if it is manual, they are no problems... (50,55,58 noct)
what's the aperture on that older nikkor lens? & i'm assuming it's a cannon mount. I totally love older fd lenses.
Awesome gear Ben!! I just got my dslr for Christmas, a Canon 100D
Finally things are gonna get interesting again.cant wait for the new drone to make an appearance,Costa Rica here we go!
ben, what pelican case is the one you use? and also is it a carry on? thanks!
according to your preparations for your secret projects i can tell that it's gonna be pretty epic, can't wait! good luck! :)
What do you think I should buy?
The 700d or the 60d?
The 70d is out of budget and you seem so experienced
Thanks:)
i wander how much all those camera equipment cost
which song at 9:24 ? love the beat
+Ste Hessijames TNGHT - Higher Ground
Whats the song playing at 9:19? i've heard it loads but don't know what its called!
Watching this at 4 am from Florida
I'm jealous of all your equipment! Hard work pays off!
I just bought the book :), thank you for the heads up on that. Ben, you move around an awful lot as do many other UA-camr's close to you, as a result you have more travel experience than many, any chance of putting your heads together as UA-camrs and creating something travel centric? tips, tricks, packing advice things you've learned along the way, eg, Moving all that equipment safely as carry on.
Yes, Ben!! Looking forward to future drone videos!
Cameras Goals. Have fun in costa Rica bro. PURA VIDA!
Great vlog, stoked to see the drone footage!
Where/how can i get one of those stickers? Would love to have one of those!
What mini tripod is that at 5:12?
What's the name of the drone you bought? Like make and model etc? :)
Love the knolling, Adam Savage would be proud. Also on Adam Savage, I'd recommend watching some videos he's done with Tested about drone safety.
Hey Ben love the vlogs, just wondering how did you purchase a drone with all the new laws about drones here in South Africa ?+mrbenbrown stay Brownie👌🏼
What kind of skateboards do you use?
What camera strap is that?
+Sam Donohoe topo designs
Looking forward for the new vlogs here in Costa Rica! Hope you have fun!
I'm obsessed with this video
how are you using your Nikkor lens on your Canons?
AWESOMEEE!!!! Good luck with a new film!
Hi Ben
I want to get in to photography and I want to buy a cheap but good camera what should I buy?
Thanks
Packing a lot just by looking how much all those gears cost.
the inspire 1 is amazing! you might get the zenmuse x5r in december for the inspire 1 :O
Will you be coming to Australia with Jeremy next year?
That's a lot of equipment! You really carry all that around all at once all the time? Why some of those lenses don't have caps on them? I could see a lot of dust on one of them! :)
Quick clean with a cloff and you're good to go! :-)
+Seana Sparkle hope he has something like a skylight filter on them. clean the filter, not the lens. plus an added bit of protection. I have cracked a couple filters without harming the lens.
+Seana Sparkle I think it depends on the trip.
What kind of strap is on the 1dx
+ImproVLOG its a strap made by topo design, but i think its sold out at the moment
Sick vlog bro have been watching u for 2 years
That's some arsenal of camera weaponry.. I'm slightly envious!
Hello Ben,,, You said that your monopod got nicked,,,Did it get stolen or scratched?
