Shooting in harsh winter is always 10x harder, yet the results are ALWAYS 10x more rewarding. Absolutely loved the footage and way you pieced together this video, Joey! I’m also keen to use the double glove technique with giant mittens next time I find myself in negative temperatures ✌️
I enjoy your videos partly cause of your reviews but primarily because of your sense of humour and personality... which really comes through on your videos. Sets you apart from all the UA-cam gear videos out there. Keep on keeping on!
As a Canadian who has attempted to film in sub zero temperatures and failed, I must say I am very impressing hearing these batteries hold up in the extreme conditions.
Thank you for this informative and funny review. I use 2 Anton Bauer Batteries, but the bigger ones with display. I have the bebob micro v-mounts, I think they are on par with AB, but from Germany as myself. So service and replacement of cells is much easier for me.
Heat test next! Maybe Namibia, Baja, or Dallas Texas in the summer. It gets crazy hot here. Great info and beautiful frames! You have made me want to buy the batteries.
Holy smokes! It straight up looks like you are in Antarctica. Props to my man for braving the artctic for us viewers! What drone did you use for that overhead shot in the polarvortex sequence with the icy water at 0:25? I am cold just looking at it. Also will we get a video on how you color grade/make your footage look so dang beautiful? I want to get a komodo this summer but I have no idea how to make it so beautiful like in your videos. I love your cinematic video style!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Used a Mavic 2 Pro and yeah a colour grading video is in pipeline. :) It's really not that difficult honestly. With just the right exposure and using REDs IPP2 conversion LUTS you get dang good images :) download some footage and try it out.
@@Joey_Helms will do my man! I appreciate having a mentor like you helping a noob like me. I'm still rocking my gh5 but wanna get the komodo this summer when I can afford it (and if they actually have it in stock!)
I love Anton Bauer. Got many batteries for my Gemini from them. Switched to the Bebob Micros on the Komodo.. just because they were there first tbh. :D
@@Joey_Helms Well, I'm a filmmaker from germany with the goal of moving to the states, to work and live there. But I have no idea how to make this come true 🙈. And since you obviously managed to do that, I'd love to get some insight on how you did and what route you took.
@@Joey_Helms I live in Montana and I know what it is like to be in that kind of cold. Impressive the gear kept working. Really shows the build quality.
The dual plate exists also for V-Mount. I may have one for sale ;) And no, these gloves are not but you can pull back the tips of the thumb and index finger...and your fingers should be touch-enabled... unless they are really, reaaaaally cold.
Great video! Made me shiver just watching you out in that cold - hope you made yourself a hot cup of something after all that hard work!!! I wanted to ask - what Follow Focus are you using ? Thanks! Derek
Thanks Derek! Hot shower did it 🤣 and that's the tiltaing Mini follow focus. Neat on a small rig but not the most ideal for cine lenses with focus throws of 270° and up
Another great video. I have really enjoyed seeing your youtube progression and its added value to my very own productions. Would you consider doing a video on how you approached the writing or narrative for this video? How did you come up with the actual script Wasn't sale-z but rather to the point creatively. Do you have formal training or self-taught, possibly a writing team or co-lab? I think others would also enjoy your perspective on this as well.. Keep holding it down for the small guys! Create!
Thanks a ton for the kind comment and happy to hear that. I have a long list of potential video ideas and 'how I produce my YT videos' is definitely one of them. But in a nutshell it's just me cooking up some ideas and running them by friends, then write the outline/structure of the video, some stuff is spontaneous as well, sometimes friends help me shoot it like this one, and then it's endless nights editing. 😂 hope this helps
Awesome content man. Trying to decide which battery plate to go with. Do you use the tilta? If so, do you miss not having a hot swappable option? The wooden camera allows you to add a bp battery under, but I really don’t like the form factor of it. Any input would be awesome. Thanks man!
Man this Spring, I may have to hit ya up to see if you want to go shoot. I'm only a few hours away from ya! Question, Shooting on the Komodo with these batteries or similar ( V Mount 240+ Watts of Power ) How many would one need to shoot a wedding all day 12+ Hours???
It depends if you power a monitor off it too, but with just the Komodo you might be fine with 3x Micro 90s and a 45 as a back up if you wanna go lighter. Or you just use two 150s ;)
I'm safe in Sri Lanka its blazing hot in here I'm worried about the skin rather than gear lol Great Adventure Joey Hope that I could visit Chicago ONE DAY.!!!!
I was trying to film Snowy Owls in the Canadian winter in early February. "Trying" is the key word, as the Komodo failed (did not record) at -20C. Red Support replied that the Komodo is rated for 0 to 40 degrees Celsius (learnt that the hard way, should have read the specs!). Officially that's petty much useless outdoors in the Canadian winter, though people have used it with warmers and what not... I went back with my ancient Red Raven and new R5 and both cameras did not have any problems in the severe cold.
Hey Joey. Beautiful video as always. Are you using the 100mm FlowTech or 75mm there? Thinking about upgrading my tripod to a FlowTech, but haven’t decided on 100mm vs 75mm.
@@Joey_Helms Okay. Cool. I noticed you had a carrying handle on the 75. Did you have to buy that separately? I initially thought that handle only came with the 100. Hence I wasn’t sure if you had the 75 or the 100. 😅
Nihar from ig: nihar.waves. This is amazing!! I come to Chicago to shoot a lot and just love watching amazing views of Chicago in your video! Beautifully captured while showing the gear test. I still can't figure my favorite shot in the video haha and those hand warmers definitely come in handy. Great work! Keep it up!
I started off rooting for the gear to win, but by the end the human won me over. Great video, my human friend!
😂😂😂 I think I forgot to mention the minor frostbite I have on two fingers ...
So much goodness in this and your production level is top notch!
Cheers mate :) props to Patrick!
Incredible video - so well put together, can really feel the work & quality on display here. Congrats!
Thanks so much :)

Thanks so much Joe! In these conditions actually gear matters 😂😂
Your videos are outstanding! No shortage of pure effort and passion. Keep it going.
Thank you thank you thank you
Brooooo, these shots are amazing! I love your work so much!! Keep going!!
Thanks so much 🤙🤙🤙
Hello. How this bigger batteries works with DJI RS2?
The 45s should work. Everything above is likely too big and heavy
this is now my favorite channel, good work!!
🙌 thanks a ton Ivan

Cheers Eric, really appreciate and great to know that at least one person gets my silly humour ;) *jotting down more dad jokes in my notebook*
Nice footage, Joey. And an informative look into the AB power system. Thanks for making this!
Thanks Martin :)
Thanks for braving the cold to make this video. 👍 I enjoyed it
Happy to hear Sheldon!
Looks like a V-Moubt not Gold Mount ?
That's right I am using V-Mount but Gold mount are available too
hi which rain cover is that?
Beautiful visuals as usual! :D
Thank you! Cheers! :)
6:29 was hilarious HAHAHAHAHA! "Do what I say and not what I do." HAHAHHAHAHA
As a Canadian who has attempted to film in sub zero temperatures and failed, I must say I am very impressing hearing these batteries hold up in the extreme conditions.
Yeah, I was delighted as well. My fingers not that much.
Absolutely fantastic, beautiful work! Don't lick metal in the cold! Haven't you seen A Christmas Story?? hahaha
Haha, I have not... just Dumb&Dumber :D ...and thanks!
@@Joey_Helms Oh, yeah! Forgot about the chairlift in that one.
😂❄️😛
What's the font for calcium and f. letters?
Stunning J!

Great idea. Definitely set it up to make it a series. Namibia is definitely on the list! Thanks a lot!
3:25 “...because sponsored and they paid me.”🙃😁
You make me wish I could do this. Loved this one.
Thanks Julie :)
Close your eyes at 6:20 !!!! 😱
Haha! :D Don't do it!

Hi Joey thanks for braving the weather for this test! Which mount(s) do you use to attach your monitor onto the Red outrigger handle? Thanks!
I am using a NATO rail by Colorado Tripod Company and a small rig NATO rail monitor mount. This way I can quickly and toolless mount the monitor.
Joey Helms thanks so much! We’re piecing together our Komodo kit while waiting for the camera to ship! 💪
I boomed a show in Northern Ontario last year where we and our gear survived -30C to -40C weather.
Wouldnt recommend
🤯🤯🤯
I love Anton Bauer. Got many batteries for my Gemini from them. Switched to the Bebob Micros on the Komodo.. just because they were there first tbh. :D
First mover advantage right there ;)
what kind of dron-in ND adapter do you use with PL lenses?
I actually use EF and RF lenses. For the EF lenses I use the canon drop in adapter with breakthrough photography filters.
The Joey strikes again!
... on Hoth.
Really nice insights! Would also like to see a video about how you managed to live in the us!
Thanks! Ha, what specifically?

Great production
OMG!!! The Snowwwwwwww
😂😂😂
Not a planet, but great video!!! Thanks for all of the effort, very well made. Still waiting for my Komodo.
Thanks Chad!
@@Joey_Helms I live in Montana and I know what it is like to be in that kind of cold. Impressive the gear kept working. Really shows the build quality.
Yeah I was happy with it as well. Eventually it comes down to who gives up first. If it's the human the gear has done its job
Amazing video! I just subscribed! What sort of nd filters do you use?! Capturing all the white must take something right?
Thanks for the sub! Either the DropIn NDs by breakthrough photography or the polarpro basecamp matte box with VNDs
Just waiting for that shipping status from B&H super solid! Great content per usual Joey! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻✅🎥
Appreciate it! ...and congrats!!
You are a freakin legend for pitching this idea 😂😂
🤙🤙🤙
A new 25mm lens? Also, Anton Bauer has a new battery plate coming out that looks pretty sweet.
Tried out some vintage glass. Will likely invest in a set ;) - And yes, A/B plate coming VERY soon ;)
Poor thermometer!🤣
Thanks for the useful advice👍
I’m more partial to the V-Lock batteries but that dual Gold Mount plate sounds tempting.
Are those gloves touch-enabled?
The dual plate exists also for V-Mount. I may have one for sale ;) And no, these gloves are not but you can pull back the tips of the thumb and index finger...and your fingers should be touch-enabled... unless they are really, reaaaaally cold.
Another great video! I ordered my Komodo in November and I’m still waiting. 😫
Can you tell me what backpack that is that you have?
Thanks! Hope it will arrive soon!
It's the LowePro trekker, can send you a link later. Just DM me on IG

@@Joey_Helms got it, so it wouldn't work on dzo 10-55mm come zoom
It would work but the wheel is just smaller so for a full pull you have to rotate further ;)

Weird. Mine worked fine at -20c. Sorry you had that experience. Really stinks!
Living in TORONTO we deal with this for 4 months out of the year lol.
:D Sounds epic and miserable at the same time. At least you have your underground city ;)
Very nice vid!
Probably not easy to balance on the Ronin ? ;)
I have not tried it yet, but with the 45 it might work... alt: use a cable
That quality is so amazing my brain hurts.
😂😂😂😂🤯
what bag is that my man
LowePro Trekker 550 -> adorama.rfvk.net/LPPRGj
@@Joey_Helms thanks! I've been looking for a bag big enough so I don't have to take my pelican everywhere.
Yeah I am a big fan of this one :) FYI that's an affiliate link ;)

Your Red engin is invisible in snow 😂❄️

Hey Joey. Beautiful video as always. Are you using the 100mm FlowTech or 75mm there? Thinking about upgrading my tripod to a FlowTech, but haven’t decided on 100mm vs 75mm.
Thanks Leo! That's the 75. More than enough IMO for the Komodo packages I run

They are floating on a little piece of ice in the middle of Lake Michigan
