    How in the world can you bang out so many of these videos. Seriously, it is very impressive. Hard for us to manage an edit or two a month for our ski travels and here you are able to get out one a day. I bet you have a segment on that.

    Do NOT cover your lamps. You can set everything on fire. The lamp needs to vent off the heat.
    Besides that. A lot of great tips.

    • @SpregioCheeks
      @SpregioCheeks 6 років тому +6

      Those aperture lights stay super cool. Got a beast of a heat sink. But he should specify that in case someone throws a random blanket on an old school bulb.

    • @ChrisChronos
      @ChrisChronos 4 роки тому

      In between the lamp and the acoustic blanket, put a fire blanket! problem solved 😂

      @moritz3154 Рік тому

    @melaniemakayla 7 років тому +1

    1. Duck clamps - to hold back things and mounting gear
    2. Soft reusable cable ties - organise things
    3. Duct tape - taping cables down - tape gopro to wall & shoe etc
    4. Cap case - body cap nestled with a lens cap to keep sd cards and small things safe
    5.Grip Head - tons of mounting option to mount boom mic or foam cord etc very handy
    6. Accoustic blanket - throw the blanket over a somthing making too much noise or block light out from and exit sign etc
    7. Friction arm - clam the friction am anywhere and clamp camera or monitor and configure them like lego
    just watch the video its short and easy to watch

    Peter I just want to say I'm still loving the content and the creative way to produce your footage. But I'm absolutely loving the end scenes you are having at the end of the videos, so funny. I'm just excited through the video to see what funny or buttery shot you're going to put at the end. Thank again Peter.

  • @variantsounds189
    @variantsounds189 7 років тому +1

    I am pretty sure you have more then 7. Good Video I have Little Bits Of Grip stuff. The tape I have a lot of and it’s a must to have not only Multiple colors but black is the solid one for taping cords down. I got a few Clamps as well. Some times I have to tape over those. Hope to be able to work with someone like you.

    Excellent video Peter! Thanks man for taking the time to make this. One, I never knew duck clamps were called that (or that they had a hole in them - the smaller ones don't - at least the one I bought down here in Brazil doesn't). Two, the lens cap/camera cap trick is awesome. It cleaned up my desktop from stray SD cards and adapters from cluttering up the place. Take care and God bless.

    These are a good bit cheaper than the red table ties you used, can be found at most stores that sell tools or camping materials, and have a variety of sizes! They are most commonly referred to as ball bungees/tarp ball bungee cords. 25 for $8 on Amazon! Super cheap at Wal-Mart too if needed same day!

    Peter you have inspired me so much. I had bought a canon t5i before I found your videos. I had gotten a good grasp of manual settings, editing, and just going out to shoot anytime I have the freetime. Working on a website for myself currrently, was even asked to do a wedding just yesterday. close friend so no charge, but this could open a huge door.
    Figured its time to also upgrade, on a budget should I shoot for an 80D or a 7D. I can't afford to go full frame yet. As much as I'd love too. I gotta worry about my bills first 😂.
    Also if for some reason you're in the maryland area at anytime. let's do some broll.
