All links to the items mentioned are in the description section. Thank you for watching and I hope this helps.
D4Darious thanks darious
D4Darious appreciate what u do, love watching your videos, it sucks that the employment rate of film makers is only 12.9% and the average salary a year is only 30,000$ :/
D4Darious Dude, Are you back uploading????
D4Darious can you do a more affordable version
The timing of the upload is impeccable. Thanks for helping me get started.
This is my perspective on lighting.
The audience doesn't notice when you have good lighting, they notice when you have bad lighting.
Of course. People will always focus on the negatives.
What type of lighting did you have?
Couldn’t be more true same with audio bad gets noticed good doesn’t brilliant does
By the whole video, I will give you "Dislike", because one of your short, you have a bad lighting. 😅
@@David-ud9ju As they should! Quality matters!
He forgot to mention friends that can be crew members, and actors.
Can’t buy friends
No frienda
Not all friends act well. Not all friends care about filmmaking. :/
@@robrobusa fuck you, you dont really know why
@@robrobusa he can do what he want
This is such a necessary video. You don't realize how much small gear you need until you go to film school and realize that a mic and a camera isn't enough
He forgot: A bank account with money
I feel ya!!
Anjali Jha I popped a video on my No Budget Trash Productions page showing the prices and talked about how I acquired all my filming equipment. It may help or at least give you hope that anyone can do this. Cheers
😂😂yp this is the only thing that I need
ua-cam.com/video/N3qfvMahkR4/v-deo.html
Here is my no budget short film
#sharingiscaring
I would add extra batteries.
And some sort of stabilization.
Cheapest one I would say is the tripod dolly for 30 bucks.
Useful not for all situation but for many. And it looks great. I just used it in my last one shot
You don't actually need that. Watch some older cinematographes shooting without stabilizers. If your camera is heavier it will have less shake and of practice walking softly and moving the camera steadily. A rail kit might be an option, some come with weights. See how smooth a 10 pound dumb bell moves. The downside is fatigue.
knuftobor true
Despite those things, I think having a film/creative friend will also help you improve: exchanging ideas, perspective, working together.
I am just waiting for the day I see a notification about your TED talk. You are helping to make film school knowledge, skill, and resources to people like me who are priced out of expensive film school but who wanna make beautiful stuff and tell great stories. Thank you!
4:43 That throw was so DOPE!

I love your upbeat presenting style, I've never been so hyped for mundane things like mic stands and hard drive space
Lenses.
he talked about kit lenses in the camera section
What's the boss doing here
Nice, now make a vid about top things u need to learn if u want to be a filmmaker:
Organisation:
Scrip wiriting, script break down, shotlist, schedule, crewlist, movement order, crew list.
MarkFilipAnthony *organization
D4Darious It would be great if you did a "Writing Micro Films" series sort of like what you did with Short Films. Doing your learning film in 30 days and would love more information on Micro Films.
Thank you for the suggestion BusyBrain ;)
Question: how do I afford this?
Work.
The majority of working people cannot afford professional gear like this.
The question here is what kind of work.
"The majority of working people cannot afford professional gear like this."
And the reason for that is THEY DON'T SAVE MONEY. They also don't have a long term plan; they live paycheck to paycheck.
"The question here is what kind of work."
Any job above minimum wage will do.
Have you ever worked on a minimum wage? Ideally not in a developed country?
It's not impossible yes, but with a minimum wage in my country is eighter survive and eat or have nice things. Even if you're saving, it'd take a few years to buy it new and not stolen
Your advice is GOLD! Started filming after your advice. And def improved my audio quality. Start a patreon!
You also need a notebook to write down your film making ideas. This one is overlooked but it's a total game changer, and you can carry it anywhere, so it's a nice extra item to keep in mind
This pretty much sums it up, great video! :)
Hi
The editor in Davinci Resolve 14 is excellent, free, and you've got a ton of tools for colour grading. It's a bit of a resource hog, so you'll want a beefy computer.
I would add that gaff tape is SUPER helpful so that people don't trip over cords (like I always did). Another great item which can be key especially if you're using a lot of lights is bringing one or two power strips on a shoot.
Great list of essentials for a beginner. I'm slowly acquiring all of these. An external mic is next on my list.
Ryzen 1600x 16 gigs of 3200 MHz Radeon rx 480 oc 4-8s a good CPU cooler. This is what I use as my editing pc. It does amazing
a bag.....
This video is what i call EXCEPTIONAL CONTENT.
I'm new here and i'm loving it so far.
Just starting to kick around doing a fun channel with my young son who loves UA-cam and this is very helpful. I've noticed, that even with our decent basic camera, and even cell phones, it's fairly easy to get good quality video, but it's the audio that is more difficult to capture with any up front clarity.
Hi d4rious. Keep being awesome. Regards from brazil
Over a million subs holy shit I am your second like
CANT WAIT FOR THE VIDEO ON LIGHTING!!!!
Lucky Luke Productions after looking at rinse, I don't think you need it😂 great short!
Lucky Luke Productions i
keep waiting
Love the way you've shot this... it's both informative, fast-paced and funny as well. Thanks for the effort
Like all your videos, hugely informative. Unlike so many others, who stuff their videos with box opening, lunch eating and endless shots of feet walking, there's not a minute wasted in your work. Well done and thank you.
Outstanding info, love the graphics. But your adorable boys steal the show!
The other cool thing about hitfilm4 is it is a seamless transition into premiere pro when you are ready for that jump. At least I found it to be.
This is probably one of the best lists I’ve seen. It goes through what you’re actually going to need while being realistic. You will see tons of videos telling you all you need is a good story and equally as many suggesting u need a RED camera but this keeps it realistic. If you actually want to make money with film which is what filmmakers plan on doing then you’re gonna need these things eventually and I think this list is really good for that.
Love your work, Darius. My high school film students get a lot of practical tips from your vids. Thank-you.
Sony Vegas is another great video editor to if you remember to disable the re sampling on videos. it will do just as good as Premiere unless you gonna need to other adobe products like after effects..
Hey, Darious! Great video as always, man. I wanted to point out that DaVinci Resolve is another great, free video editor with integrated color correction and (soon) sound editing. Alternatively, Avid recently released Media Composer First (free version), which I hear is very capable - it would be a great option for people hoping to learn industry standards in editing. Keep up the good work!
If you're filming with mirrorless or dslr I'd recommend getting a battery grip, it's shown but he didn't actually mention it
Buying additional memory cards is a good idea, it's not fun to realize you've run out of available memory mid-shoot. But it's important to buy good quality cards that have a fast enough write speed. If the 'write' or 'buffer' speed is too slow for the size of the files you're shooting (I think 3 or 4 mins of 1980 x 1020 HD works out at about 1 GB) you may find your camera 'freezes' mid shoot, or drop frames, or suddenly cut out in the middle of a scene. It's also a good idea to occasionally 'wipe' the cards completely when you're done with the footage. Merely 'deleting' the files leaves them in situ to be written over, but sometimes for some reason best known to itself, the camera ignores some blocks where deleted files reside and doesn't ever write over them, treating them like 'occupied' space. This reduces the effective memory capacity of your card by however many GB of footage sits there invisibly on the card. So, for example, while you might think you have 32 GB on a 32 GB card, you actually only are able to access 25 GB of it. A complete shred of the files / overwrite with zeros and a format usually helps solve this problem.
DAT REFLECTOR TOSS THO!!!!
From my rate of savings I estimated it would take 5 years only to buy the camera.
Time to switch plan 😷
Unreal Production I popped a video on my No Budget Trash Productions page showing the prices and talked about how I acquired all my filming equipment. It may help or at least give you hope that anyone can do this. Cheers
My friend and I are right at the beginning with short films. We have most of the stuff on this list (though many are low budget alternatives) except the sound recorder. There is a lot of pricey gear on this list of twelve things. We came to video through amateur photography and built up gear through used camera shops. I think going through photography first means you can save (very...slowly) and add gear that leads to filmmaking eventually. This means you can produce good work whilst learning light. We don't have a sound-recorder yet, nor lapel mics, because we have concentrated on everything that has dual use.
Thank you for not being so picky about specs. Some film production teachers are and it's kind of intimidating for newbies like me.
Interesting style
I made a video with my Android smartphone and used a 600€ HP computer for the montage and reached 100 000 views ahah.
Just take what you have at home and tell a storie.
What editing software?
Story.... Spell check is free
Liam Stone he’s french, Don’t be a douche
D4 I didn’t know or think I could direct or shoot a movie. You help me so much with practical tips and knowledge that now I can see myself possibly doing it. And links in the description for the equipment, is a huge help. Look to seeing your movie on the big screen.
There's so many of these videos on UA-cam, but you did a stellar job. Thank you!
Hey Darious. I have a question about film school. When you went, did they teach you everything from scratch or did they expect you to have some prior knowledge? Thanks

I use the G7. I make incredible videos with that thing

I have the same, still 12 - 60 KIT lens.
Spectrum The Originator same mannnn
G7 is the best 4K cam you can get for $500
Still using my 6 year old t3i with magic lantern👌
All bout that glass bruv
Had to subscribe. You had my attention from the intro. Looking forward to binge watching your channel.
+1 for the Tascam...I don't know what I'd do without it. People forget that camera VIDEO is HD but NOT THE AUDIO.
Things I would recommend:
Lens Hood
Bag
Extra Batteries
Wireless Shutter
(Optional: Speedlight)
Great vid bro! That'snot a waste of time to watch that one! Only 6:21 to sum it up the best way! Thumbed up and subscribed! Keep up! Love
Yo D4, is there any legitimacy to the claim that "it kind of doesn't matter what software you use, it just matters how you use it to tell the dang story?" I made a short film with iMovie and that software is garbage but the end product was alright. Great video btw! Dope as usual :D
Griff-griff! Some software work better than others but at the end of the day they're all tools. If you know how to use the tools, it doesn't matter.
I think of it this way.
You want to get from New York to Texas.
You can take a bike
Drive a car
Or go by plane
All options will accomplish the same thing. Get you from NY to Texas. Some options will leave you more exhausted and take longer though
That's an awesome analogy, I'm gonna note this. Thanks dude!
Griffin Watson happy that you like it :)
As long as you're capable and creative with your tools, it doesn't matter what you use. Although most high-end software will make certain processes easier and simpler, and the tools are of much higher quality. Working with audio is practically the same; you can make a decent record in Garageband or Audacity, but you will be tearing your hair out along the way. Pro Tools is the industry standard digital audio workstation software and you can edit and mix without ever touching the mouse because the keyboard shortcuts are so in-depth and intuitive. I can get you similar results in both but it will take me 10 times longer to do it in low-end software, which is unacceptable in most creative industries.
Finaly!!!!
This is not "probably", but definitely the best youtube video so far for any beginner in film making.
Thank you @D4Darious
I have a Big vision for creating movies , but I never went to film school! This helps me a lot, you're the MVP for this
Software: Davinci Resolve. 'nuff said
I second this! It's brilliant how we get a free option these days that rivals Premiere in features.
I've made hundreds of self massage videos and helped MILLIONS of people using a $160 Canon Elph on a $20 mini tripod. If you look up "how to release gas" you'll find a VERY HELPFUL video I made a long time ago using a panasonic point and shoot. I still get thank you comments DAILY from that video. What's important in a video? Content = 75% Audio and video = $25% Therefore, spending shitloads of money on high end equipment and then having mediocre content will get you NOWHERE vs having GREAT content and mediocre equipment will take you MILES and MILES and MILES!
Thank you for this timely video Darious! I'm about to buy my first dslr in a few weeks. I agree with your suggestions, I'd include a good camera bag as a must.
Skateboard! Could even be from the thrift store - stick a bean bag on it and use it for creative dolly shots. An office chair works for this purpose as well...
But does 16GB RAM make a Big difference if I just have to edit a short film? With color grading of course
But can you do smooth playback 1080p in full quality in your editing software? Or does your clip chop?
I have 16GB Ram, i think i can playback 1080p with a lot effects, just not render heavy ones like motion blur or dof.
martinremixful YES. The speed also effects it as well.
If you are a heavy user of After Effects, then yes, absolutely worth it.
I have 64GB RAM. When I throw enough effects and layers at something it still lags a bit. It's not all about RAM. Working with limited RAM, you'll want an efficient work flow so that effects, transitions, anything that requires processing power and rendering are added as late as possible in the process. There are also ways of adding these in that allow for them to be turned on and off for smoother editing playback. Prudent use of Adjustment Layers is one example.
I actually have two channels and subbed to this guy twice lol
Thanks DBritt for all of your help in creating my Path! You are great keep that good stuff Up! Greetings from Costa Rica!
A great outro would be the one handed opening (in mid-air no less) and catching of that reflector, repeated three or four times in a loop at normal speed. That was a cool move. Subscribed to learn more film-making stuff. But would have done so anyway just because that move was pretty impressive. Lol.
here i dont have the budget to buy a dslr and here i am watching this video XD
Don't worry ;) just start with what you have right now (phone)! As soon as you can afford the most important items slowly start building your kit (used cam for ~300$, ect)
@@maxkern4419 my comment was fucking 3 years ago dayum
Is a cheap lav mic a good option, if not, please list some alternatives.
Thank You.
I've used a Audio-Technica ATR3350 Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone for interviews and had some success. If you can deal with wired and omnidirectional, It's a good starter mic for about $30.
You are the only channel I’ve found that actually helps.
Finally got almost all the items on the list I'm definitely seeing an improvement as I get better at doing this 👍
Hey D4darious. I'm just starting out and my audio set up is an h2n connected to a rode video mic pro along a boom pole. Do you think I could get decent audio quality with this? And also for anyone looking for a camera, don't buy a Nikon d5200 because you can't shoot using a flat profile without an ugly horizontal grain pattern that is nearly impossible to get rid of in post.
Of course! You will get very good audio quality with zoom recorders and rode microphones. Don't forget about audio postproduction - very important but often forgotten. Inform me when you will upload your first film. ✌
Splendid Films thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it and will let you know when I've posted my first short film.
you definetly dont *need* 16gb of ram lol... you'll do just fine with 8gb or even 4gb
also the gfx card you showed is literally from like 2008 lool
besides that tho, great vid
Ode ao burguês not once you start actually editing, color correcting, adding graphics or manipulating audio in 1080p full resolution 4gb of ram can barely run four chrome tabs don’t lie to people
Just 3 Words about this video:
Short. Informative. Effective.
I am not into videography but this could probably change in no time.
Keep going on my friend, I hope that you will become one of those fancy ass director/ moviemaker in Hollywood one day!
Greetings from Germany
Miro
I know his video is a few years old, but thank you. I wanted to say that this video really helped me a lot. I am a new youtuber with a desire to make really good vlog style and movie-style videos and your comment about don't worry about the camera was exactly what I needed to hear. I have been spending almost a full week thinking about nothing but the camera that I am going to get. I have been a slave to this almost. Thank you. I think I will get a Panasonic g85 now with no regrets.
Do you guys recommend the Sony Alpha 6000 to start into filmmaking??
yes
MSG I’ve gone through all the Sony alpha models (a6000,a6300,a6500) and currently I own the a6500. My advice to you would be to start with the a6000 and upgrade it as soon as you start to get more serious about it. There are many things to learn, if you buy the most expensive model without knowledge, it’s like spending money for something you won’t take advantage from.
0:40 ..i think you’ve missed the point entirely - the only thing you really need to get started is a great idea, a vision, patience and any moderate camera and computer
“you need at least 16 gigabytes of RAM..”
..no.. you just ..don’t
Buchanan Games sure the 16gb of ram is a bit of an exaggeration. You don’t neeeed 16gb of ram but unless you’re using something like Final Cut Pro it will make your editing experience a hell of a lot more bearable
I see this isn't going to be a cheap hobby, but I'm very interested in making a few videos about some cars in my area. That tan/pilt floating tripod was a great idea.
Great Video!! Extra Camera Batteries, with and extra charger. I have an inverter in my car for the 110VAC stuff, get that at any car parts store.!
I use iphone. huhu
in Poland minimum wage is 19k złotych a year. This setup costs 20k złotyh ;_;
If I worked on a minimum wage for a year without spending a single złoty I wouldn't have enough money to buy it.
Good thing I'm unemployable :')
kek
I love your videos. Your channel and the book How to shoot a video that doesn't suck have been my basic film school. Keep up the good work
Should do a video, of how to start in filmmaking
So im starting film school soon and i don't nothing about film
Ontario Howard check out his film school in 30 days vid
Thank you so much
My channel and many others cover a lot of the basics that you need to know. Watching videos here on youtube is a great starting point.
Ontario Howard i recomend this channel, DSLR guide, and Peter mckinnon
You actually do not need to know anything going into film school. Your first year is the basics, which is learning how to cut videos before film. Depending what you want to study and focus in. Film school depending on the school provides every resource such as from renting from them for free like arri and red cameras to small dslrs. These include audio gear and lighting which sometimes you would need insurance. For editing, my school has a whole floor for just video editing, color correcting, and film cutting at the bench. Another floor would include ADR and foley as well. So throughout film school, you would be all set. If it is s university with a mixture of other art students, use them as well like web designers for building and marketing as a producer and architecture people came in handy to build and give our production designers ideas or help for interior. Just branch out and make use of resources. Your first year is just the basics so learning some basic photography might be helpful. I graduated with my BFA in MPT focusing on editing and if you learn editing, you will see the world differently from a directors stand point understand shot compositions and the mood of the story and why. Remember that film school is for people who want to tell stories in any way possible. It is not really for commercials or vlogs and stuff. So go study the history of it like Lawrence of Arabia, Hitchcock films, Orson Welles Citizen Kane, Woody Allens films. This is just 1 of 5000 I can give information on because it is so much to explain that UA-cam cannot do it for you.
(Take a anthropology class to study human and cultures because it makes you see brighter things from how human behavior is if you plan to direct.) let me know if there is anything else that would help to understand.
yo bro I just needed the simple shit for my school film not a profesional equpmment
PHANTOM ! Preach i don't have the money for professional equipment
This isn't even professional equipment... This is all low end shit for filmmaking
Chances are if you have a more modern iphone, like the 8 and above (which can shoot up to 4k) you are in luck. As for audio, there are clip on mics (or lavalier mics) that you can use that have great sound. Some awesome ones are 20 dollars. You can buy lower end filters on Amazon and you can either pirate or get free trials, or imovie (if you have a mac/iphone) to edit. There are also very good apps for people who edit on the phone that retail for 20 and less. It's not about buying professional equipment, its about working equipment professionally. However, most professionals use equipment similar to the stuff mentioned in the video, so getting your feet wet is always nice so you can familiarize yourself.
For example. I found this WD (Western Digital) Hard Drive "cheat sheet".
Blue allows you to store the most footage for the least amount of money.
Black allows for high quality & performance footage like 4k at 144hz or even 8k at 60hz.
Red is for the footage you absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Purple is for recording.
For anyone interested, as the cheapest solution, i'd recommend with going for a NAS (network-attached storage) that you keep at home. You absolutely DO NOT move this around unless absolutely necessary. In this NAS you keep two (or more) hard drives of any quality you prefer (just make sure they're identical) and have them running on a HARDWARE (Not Windows software or whatever) RAID. The RAID you run (and there's multiple kinds) is to make the 2nd hard drive copy everything that you put on the 1st one. That way, if one drive fails, you replace the failed drive and the functioning drive will automatically clone your footage & any data from the functioning drive to the new drive.
There's obviously tons and tons of alternatives, but i figured this was a decent enough of a rant to begin with. Happy filming.
I don't even make films but love your videos. I plan on starting but it's great getting all the info. Thanks bud
Nikon D3300 ideal for beginners , costs around 450 USD.
No! Never buy a Nikon for Video! Nikon creates great photos but not so good videos. Instead get yourself a Canon 550d, 600d or anything like that, or even your phone would work.
no no and no. for video get sony a6000 for start it's better than anything for money. since it's mirrorless old lenses are super easy to find and manuap focus with focus peaking is easy and there are zebras etc. iso performace is better than any dslr in that price range. only downside i can get off my mind now is poor battery life but there are 3rd party good battery's for cheap so that's it.
I used Nikon but switched to Canon 4ti as it has remote with focus and record buttons, and 24mm 2.8 lens for cheap. Powered Rode mic gives acceptable audio with Canon.
itslegendarytiger no way I use Nikon, started with a d3200 and now d7100, the sensor on Nikon dslrs are amazing, shooting on flat picture control, you'll get higher dynamic range and more details. Canon's colour science are good for photos, but ain't good for videos, you're gonna have to spend lots of time colour correcting your footage, while on Nikon, you could simply put luts on it. Really, if you're more into image quality (colour, details, dynamic range), go with Nikon. But canon's AF system, literally unbeatable.
I have the Nikon D3200. It is amazing for stills and video. But DSLRs are not made for shooting films. They are engineered to not work as movie cameras by the specs they must follow to call the product a DSLR. They all have max shooting times where they will turn off automatically. If you want to go shoot film, then start with a BlackMagic cinema camera.
LOL this guy is too funny
Mannn I'm so happy to see you back In The game. Blah. Who cutting onions. No I all srsly. You're the best. I remember watching this video and feeling inspired. I'm watching it again and still get chills lol I'm showing these videos to someone who's just about to break into narrative film making. Still a solid piece. ✌️
I love the Zoom H1. I have 2 in my camera bag. I almost always recommend it as a first audio device
8 GB of RAM is enough for video-editing.
Arthur wrong
I've using sony vegas on 2GB with no issue or slowdown whatsoever. Furthermore, there were barely any computers with more than 4GB about 5 years back, that didn't prevent people from making shorts.
your wrong
I use Premiere pro and it works great on a Celeron N2830 laptop that has 4GB of ram
So wrong... You never pro edit
Photo editing takes up the CPU and ram, seems video editing is mainly GPU. I have an ASUS 970 turbo and it took me 40 minutes to put a noise reduction filter on 3 minutes of 720P video in sony vegas.
Can a 11.9 GB of RAM work?
I am currently using only 8gig of ram. It can be a bit slow in the work flow, pauses, rendering etc, but, it does work. More ram is better, but you are using the basement to get the work done.
No if you use less then 12 your pc and tv will explode
Bro I've 4g ram and im ok
It lagging sometimes but it works
It will depend on your software. Check the minimum specs for whatever editing software you will be using. Andrew and BakrJr are likely right though. I should work fine but may lag a bit depending on the resolution of you project, size of your files, length of the project, etc. It's not all about RAM though. GPU and CPU are very important also for smooth playback. The software editor manufacturer's recommended minimum specs are a good place to start.
Yes it does.
Yea if you want a bigger screen if you shoot sports or action, get a 5.5 inch or 7 inch monitor. It goes on your camera and you can use it to focus and see what you are shooting without looking at a 1 inch tiny screen. They are around 130$ for a 4K full HD one and they are VERY worth getting! Oh, and you can also attach your mic to the edge of the screen so the mic is not in your way at all.
I've lived with 4 8tb Western Digital external drives, all have kept me going the last 2 years of me filming continuously for some of my school projects, I just don't overly trust the use of Seagate drives since I've had at least 2 of them fail on me at the same year
how do you get all the subs. dude I work so hard and I feel like NO ONE sees my work
Hey dude , use a lot of tags , and share the video with people you know. And if you have google chrome , get an extension call "tube buddy".
Also try to make "youtube friends" , comment on videos that are similar to yours and ask them to review your channel , hope this helps dude!
Slammed H2Oi ok thanks dude! Very helpful
Lord:Tim Haha thanks- see u there!
thanks man
that is true, but my thought process was one interesting thumbnail for a 1 minute video would hook someone, and then get them to watch all the other ones.
I could use some feedback on my latest video, any filmmaker who wants to support each other?
I'll be glad to
i need help
CeeGee sure man
id reccomend getting a step up ring for your ND filters instead of buying individual ones for each lens. saves you a TON of money.
This is the second video of yours I have seen. I was thinking about subscribing on the first one, no particular reason why this one pushed me over, it just did. Nicely done.
How to be a (rich) filmmaker
Let the war began @ the comments section
my friend it's begin
Good information once again. I will be working on something this next 2 weeks and will be posting it for all to see. Your videos and pictures really help me out a lot. Keep up the good work and much respect.
You know... I don't think a Mac is ideal... Firstly, the upgradability and (in the high end) generally higher performance of PCs will benefit you as a film maker. Granted, you will need to find a good display (because that does matter a lot, and Macs do have good ones).
However, the main advantage that I want to point out here is that it's quite easy to get a lot of storage into a PC. My brother, for example, keeps every project he ever did on his PC, and he uses Avid Media Composer, and believe me: Avid's files of the projects where you have the imported video are huge. They literally make an image out of every individual frame.
All he needed to do to fit all his projects and be good for the next years is buy hard drives whenever space gets low. He bought two HDDs a couple of months ago and he's good for a good while now.
JustusLM do u recommend a good pc? I need to buy one but im not sure which is the best
