FAQs - for those of you bright enough to read the description before commenting with the same boring questions ... :)
How old are you? - 29
Where do you live? - Surrey, UK & Cape Town South Africa
What hair product do you use? - Sea water or Ruffians Wax

When did you start kayaking? - When I was 8 years old.
What size penny board do you ride? - I have both the Penny & the Nickel.
What do your tattoos mean? My star was just because I thought it looked good. My skull was my reward for winning the marathon world championships in 2010, my triangle on my hand reminds me to keep moving forward and make progress, and my turtle/Pura Vida tattoo on my leg is a reminder of my amazing time in Costa Rica. New tattoos - mountains on my arm & VV on my wrist because I didn't know what I wanted until 5 mins before I got them!

Do you ship clothing world wide? - We ship to most countries.
What editing program do you use? - Premier Pro CC on Mac
Did you go to university? - No
What steady cam do you use? - GlideCam 4000
Why aren't you training for kayaking anymore? - I see new opportunities everyday, I'm just grabbing them as they appear and keep working hard, right now that's UA-cam & Film. I'm happy I made the change!
How long do your vlogs take to edit? - They vary massively, sometimes 1 hour sometimes 6+
Still got questions? Watch my last Q&A video! - • SNAPCHAT Q&A WITH SP!

P.s. I love my subscribers :) xx
I love Dan! He's always like so happy and healthy and with so much energy haha
+Marite Melendez
because he's rich
+SubaruPowerr Being rich doesn't make you happy, living life to the fullest does.
+SubaruPowerr He used to go to my school, he was a couple of years above me but he definitely wasn't one to show off or boast about his wealth
Loved the running shot at 1:50, a lot. The vlogs are so easy to watch. I love them.
You manage to make a regular day so compelling, and these chill ones have been top.
I live in England and he makes things that I wouldn't think of interesting :)
That's the skill in Ben Browns vlogs. He doesn't just speak to a camera 😊
+Donald D Yep! Agreed. I live in Manchester and you're completely right 😄😄
+Max Free true! Vlogging or this kind especially requires some decent thought. And the editing definitely is effort 😁
+Sandro S Thanks a lot Sandro, I have a new one coming out within the next few days so you should sub if you would like to see it, I hope you like it. Appreciate your comment, thanks for taking you time outta your day to watch it.
peace.
Is it just me or is Ben´s voice just soooo relaxing
Loving the comedy you're bringing to your vlogs this year whether it be intentional or not! Keep up the good work, smashing it bro!
That eating scene with Steve was sooo trippy dude. Like where did that come from? 😂
+Sven Vee Oh and nice to see you're getting fit again. I saw you did the run at a 12.8 kph pace which is pretty damn solid I must say.
I'm a retired graphic designer and I really liked Dan's painting. I hope he continues to paint. Your new camera and its glass are stunning with a crisp, tack-sharp focus. Looking forward to the bump up in the quality of your vlogs. Can't wait to see Iceland from Mr. Ben Brown's perspective!
ben i recently moved from Brasil to the uk, and ive had a hard time dealing with anxiety and depression, anyway your vlogs gave me life again and your positivity gives me strength to get through my days, so thank you very much!
As a content creator, i learn something new everyday in your vlogs and it's amazing. And the music, it's perfect, well chosen :)
+NarvFilms Agreed!
+NarvFilms it's nice to see how other youtubers learn from Ben. Checked out your channel and you have some incredible talents. keep it up
hi Ben:)
I must say,its really delightfull to watch you,SP&Steve on my sneaky little brakes I made during studing for my UNI exams (its end of 1st uni semester in Poland) I have so many lughts and also,Alfie dog puppy vlogs ! i love them so much :) thx for being you and alowing us to expirience your adventures with you.
sending love and good energy from very cold Warsaw,Poland :)
Your content has been on point recently❤️
+Joelle Tourangeau of course but even better then usual
I cannot get enough of your videos!! Amazing content! Keep up the good work mate :)
WHAT ARE THOOOOOSEEEEEEEE
***** its not even go naked family day
The A7rII is a lovely camera! If you want the ultimate quality, then put it into Super 35 mode! The IQ especially in low light is much better in S35, even though it is not using the whole sensor. And if you want a really wide lens, then check out the Sony 10-18/4. It is made for crop sensors, but you can use it in Full Frame mode from 12-16mm and that is crazy wide.
Went to Iceland during the summer. Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to go back. Looking forward to your Iceland vlogs!
Awesome music you were listening to in the car... good old 90s tunes!
OMG THE STEVE INTRO LOVE IT AHHAA
hilarious!
Loved the wagamama part, super cool filming and editing! KUDOS for that Ben! :D
Duuuuuuuuude! I'm so happy you picked up the A7Rii and that 24-240mm lens! I absolutely love that set up Louis uses and I'm super stoked to see you use it now as well. I know it's a nice feeling to have your own unique set up, but if you like what someone else is using, especially someone you look up to, I don't think there's any shame in duplicating it. I look up to You, Louis and Casey and proudly draw influence from all of you guys. Keep up the great work man! Also, can you still jack out muscle ups like you did in your first vlog? That's was so nuts!
As a Brownie and a camera enthusiast, I think I'm more stoked that you got the A7s Mk II than i would if i bought myself one. Can't wait to see it in action bro!
I took a sip of my coffee at the wrong spot. It was right when Ben started coughing and SP started laughing. Love y'all!! xx
Use whatever camera works best for you, the quality is so good on each it really doesn't matter to us.
Have a nice flight to Iceland tomorrow, can't wait for the vlogs! :)
Keep up the great work Ben. You are an inspiration.
If you're reading this..
Stay strong, don't give up and focus on the mission.
Good things are coming your way! :)
Great vlog as always Ben! Can't wait to see your Iceland adventures!
this is how all vloggers should do their food scenes. thanks for the awsome cinematography.
Ouph, the A7Rii is what I'm aiming to replace my 5D3 with... so happy to see you picked it up. The 28mm f2 that Louis uses from time to time wide open is one of my favs :)
A7rII is such a babe in low light 😏😻😼💪
marcus innocent Haha, so true... I feel like Sony's really trying to push the envelope these days.
I was your 1000th sub👍👌
I LloydW Aww! Thanks so much! :)
+Chris Prouse no problem anytime (do u have Instagram?)
Awesome upgrade man. A7Rii is a beast!
I nearly died from laughter during that cool wagamama slow-mo mini clip :D
Good luck Ben with your continued search for the perfect vloging camera. CP+ is right around the corner, maybe some new models will come out for you to try.
Aaaaand Steve back in the Ben vlog.... ALL is right with the world
I get butterlies when you say something about Iceland🤓 can't wait to see what places your going and how the videos will turn out!!
Nice Camera! I would recommend investing in the 55mm F1.8. Its not a vlogging lens but the images it produces are just lovely!
Ben! Stop worrying about the camera...it's about the stuff YOU film, we love your content not what it's filmed on xx
I like the Sony the best bc it is more intimate with the shot so close and the field of depth suits you better than the wide angle! :)
Ben love your videos man! totally inspired tbh to start making videos because i see yours. Keep up the great work! Kill it in Iceland!
The vlogs with the Sony quality is so much better bro...Louis has the same combo but I would get the a7sii for the low light
I recently picked up the Poker Stuff Nike High Dunk R/R and they're absolutely sick I think you'd really appreciate them Ben! I'd check those out if you're getting back into high tops as they're the perfect comfort/casual vibe shoes!
Poler* 😂😂😂
That ice scraper was dope. I need one like that!
Ben buys cameras like Casey breaks them.
That food montage was flipping great! haha
*fucking
+Bergie Luke no it was food haha
I love the mix that you get on Heart!
I really enjoyed to watch the 3latest vlogs, im smiling all the time!
keep it up :)
Always a good vlog as always. Cheers, dude
42mp ben! You never wanna go back for image quality now! Maybe not a bad idea to start replacing that 1dx for travel in the future. I think it fits your lifestyle more. I worked with 1Dx's for a while in photojournalism. Im scared of making the jump. But prob will happen in the near future. Just need a little higher fps. Enjoy iceland!
I have the 16-35mm f2.8 II and it is a fantastic lens!
I'm still waiting on the leek and potato soup.
With the fresh slice of bread
Patience is a virtue my friend.
+sliceofmatt I have patience in abundance.
Arrr bless him , Dan looked like he didn't want you to go! Do you not see that lad so much ? Very polite fella.
YESSSS! Love that you got the a7r ii!
thats the best camera u don't need to look at urself its that good !!
Matt always has me cracking up, haha
I heard Dan playing Matt Corby in his apartment and I will be seeing him tonight in Seattle!! Ahh!!!
Ben btw that camera one could argue for landscape is better then the 1DX
That Sony does look really sweet, very tempted myself actually.
-5 is nothing!!! It has been -22 here in Sweden, some parts have been even colder 😂
Definitely go with the sony. I'd take better quality depth of field and sharpness over the wideness anyday. keep the G3X around for those hard to get shots without zoom. Think about if you really need the zoom or if youre going to get better use out of the Sony's better low light performance :D
Early upload... Always enjoy watching these vlogs, I feel like I always take something positive out of them. Can't wait to get to your level someday Mr. Brown, haha
Wish I could buy all the stuff your grabbing! Also would really love a wide lens too! That Sony, were you afraid to say how much that bad boy was? haha. The Rx100 IV is super expensive! Can't imagine the pricetag on that one you got! Also, sick shoes too :D. I just got these dudes > Vans DENIM C&L SK8-HI REISSUE (check those out!)
+martinzjeh $6,000+?! Yeesh!
I know, I'm using my iphone 6 right now. On day 22! :D
+Kyle Taggart it isn't $6000 it is around $3000 US or around £2000. Since he is going overseas he can buy it VAT free. It is also a business purchase and a tax deduction.
Yeah the tax deduction must help. Wonder how all that works
Love Steve and SP in the vlogs! Love that you want to give us great quality with your cameras! Maybe Skype with Nicole before you leave for Iceland?! Lots of love!
So is the A7R II going to strictly be a vlogging camera for you? Even though it has the quality to be a main DSLR, or do you like that split, 1DX and 5D III for photos and now this A7R for video, no cross over?
So cool to see my old stomping grounds in this vlog
have you seen the sigma 18-35mm f1,8? it is not as wide as the 16-35 from canon. But the quality of the lens is on point! (bit heavy though)
You're awesome Ben!!!
Seeing you get camera stuff makes me want more camera equipment. But I haven't got the money for it :(. Great vlog by the way, they always make my day :)
Holy katsu! That epic slow mo :o My camera lens just zoomed so hard
The U.K. looks freezing cold ATM! Brrrrrrrr.... Love the new Nike Dunks! High tops FTW!!!
+EMKWAN TV - vlogs from Abu Dhabi & Dubai The uk is damn cold at the moment bud
Bro the funny thing is this is like like a light sweater season in Canada 😅
A7s is specifically developed for video. Way better low-light performance on the S too. But yeah if you look more for a great photo camera to also film with, R is the deal.
From the video footage comparisons I've seen, S beats R out of the water. The R is more for photography and video as afterthought.
Shoes are fire Ben. Well played
That Wagamama's scene was fricking DANK BRO
so weird seeing you scrap off ice and in snow when its summer in australia :P
This new camera is so amazing
I can't wait for the Iceland vlogs
Love Steve back in the vlog!
I just love the whole group of you nutters... (**In a British accent**) Love your vlogs!!
The slow motion food eating was brilliant
Mmh I thinking for a while now the get the Sony A7RM2 as a vlogging camera ...
It will be nice so hear, what you will think of this camera in the next couple of weeks and what lenses you will add.
hahaha that slow mo montage of Steve was brilliant
Ben... Zeiss Batis 85mm 1.8. Thank me later :) Also the A7r mk2 still image quality is out of this world! Would lighten your load as it could serve as your main stills camera...
ICELAND ? WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING ?
Top three destinations I want to go to !
+Florent De Deken Steves twitter says tomorrow. Epic vlogs incoming for sure!
+Knts-vale I can already imagine the views. Ben promised some cool trips in 2016, what a great way to start.
+Florent De Deken This is going to be awesome! I was there in November, maybe I'll recognize some places. :)
ahh. buying the sony makes me want to jump to sony cameras now! the quality is so goooodd!
the wagamama montage is my favourite thing ever
Sony RX100 looks good to me, sharp and a bit cooler white balance... although I did notice the nice video quality on one of Louis' episodes that I believe was A7R(??)... i remember thinking, oh, nice video IQ, bokeh and depth of field
For a minute at the beginning I forgot you were in the UK. I was like, "Thought it was summer in Cape Town?!"
sweet shoes! also loved the food and dance music montage lol
yessss can't wait to see some stuff off the new 16-35!
Best food vlog ever !!!
can't wait for Iceland!! Keep it up Ben
coffe really is fantastic
i saw on snapchat when you got that sony a7r, naughty ben😂 that camera is amazing though, you can even use it for visual vibes :)
Ben, I like the Sony camera footage better to be honest. All the best with your travels. 😀
That Wagamama scene was awesome haha!
That a7r may be in my future.... would REALLY like to stick with canon but they dont have anything in 4k close that price range.... plus id really like to stick with the lens i got... I know they can be converted i.e Canon EF to Sony but id imagine you would lose some quality
You KILLED that WAGAMAMA scene!
Those shoes are fire!
Dan the man !! 😍😍😍
Love the new Nike SBs Ben! 👍🏽
+Mr Ben Brown - Just wanted to say that I picked up some Nike SB Dunk High Premiums DO that you showed in the video. They looked awesome! Many thanks or I would never of seen this style, you don't usually see the range here in the UK unlike in the US.....
You live in Surrey, you should go to Godstone Farm, I should be volunteering there on Saturday's from now on
the G9x seems like a decent camera with all the features of g7x but smaller profile
08:49 had me in the floor😂😂. hope that wasn't too painful brother!
The Wagamamas clip was just amazing! haha!
