Do you think that people would've tuned into this video
expecting to get information on the latest gear at NAB,
not realizing that they're watching
a Gerald Undone recap of NAB.
You think they're horribly disappointed right now?
♪ Gerald Undone ♪
♪ He's crazy ♪
- Sync.
All right, here we are at NAB 2023.
I'm excited to be here.
Big shout out to B&H for flying me down here
to film sort of like a recap of NAB for you all.
I haven't actually figured exactly what we're gonna do,
but I got Chris Brockhurst here helping me.
- Hello.
- He's got this crazy contraption, look at this.
What are you shooting on Chris, you got the FX3?
- We got the FX3 with this janky rig on top of the ZV-E1
and a little Sennheiser MKE 400.
- My shooters are involved in the videos, this is a collab.
I don't Just have a camera monkey,
we got a personality behind the camera here.
Chris Brockhurst everybody,
give him a round of applause.
(crickets chirping)
How many minutes we got on the recording there?
- You got one hour and nine.
- One hour and nine minutes to see all of NAB
because I'm not gonna resync all these cameras
Chris has and these different microphones.
I'm using a Tentacle Sync Track E.
We've got another Tentacle Sync Track E over there.
First thing I wanna look at is,
I've heard that there are some new microphones that Deity
just announced this morning I think
or something which might do all this plus wireless.
We should go to the Deity booth
and see about those right away.
Thanks again to B&H for flying me out.
Let's go to the Deity booth, come on.
- Buy something.
- I didn't cheat, like I didn't talk to any of the booths.
But I don't know if Deity is beside Aperture
but I assume they would be.
Everybody be quiet for a second.
Hey Ted, how's it going?
We're recording a video.
We only got like how many minutes left?
- Hour five.
- We've got an hour and five minutes
to see all the rest of NAB.
Okay, where is the Deity booth?
Are they not beside you Ted?
- No they're not beside us today.
Deity is a separate thing,
they do their own things.
- Don't you guys still share a headquarters
or something?
- Yeah we do.
But we can't be helpful.
- You share a headquarters but you don't share a booth.
- Don't want to share a booth.
- What would you like to say to the people out there Ted?
And we're here with DSLR Video Shooter.
- Hey, what's up?
(gentle spirited music)
- How's it going?
- Doing well man. How are you?
- I'm excellent, thank you.
- I love your, whatever that is.
- That is 32 bit float.
Don't give me some long Ted pitch
just point out and tell me what it's called.
We got these fancy.
- [Chris] Look at those lights.
- These are the, what are they called?
Called the Infinibars.
- Infinibars
- Wunderbar!
- Can you buy them on B&H right now?
- [Ted] Yes you can.
- [Gerald] That's what you're supposed to do,
go buy 'em on B&H.
The Infinibars from Aperture,
thank you very much Ted.
- Thank you very much, no problem.
- Good lights.
- We're gonna go find the Deity booth.
Aperture was completely unhelpful as usual.
- Thank you, appreciate it.
- It does not appear to be the Deity
is beside the aperture booth
we're gonna have to figure out where they're located.
Let's go.
It'd be funny if they weren't even here.
All right, where the hell is Deity?
I'm touching you, is that okay?
- Yeah, I mean you already did it.
- Give your consent to the camera?
- Yeah, I consent.
- Okay, tell the something, go on.
- Hey, everybody.
- You heard it first here.
- Hour and three.
- We don't got time to chit chat.
We gotta-- we're running outta minutes.
I'm here with Stewart from DJI.
How's it going Stewart?
What do you got going on?
- We've got a lot going on.
We've got the Inspire 3 going on.
- You see it up there in the sky, people at home.
It's all the way over there.
- Do you like my microphone?
- Yeah, it doesn't even make any sense.
- The dynamic range of the sensor
on that camera is impressive.
So good job Stewart,
you designed that by yourself, right?
- No.
- Okay, well that was fun
we were able to stop by and see DJI,
but that is not Deity.
- We're down to an hour.
- Well, I see the Sony booth over there.
Maybe they know where Deity is.
Is the auto focus keeping up with my sp--
- [Chris] Oh yeah, yeah.
- Sporadicity.
- [Chris] You're good.
- That's not the word.
- All right, how are we white balanced?
We're not bad, we're not bad.
- There will be no white balancing Chris.
Sony likes to have their own
dramatic lighting.
It's, would you define this as purple lighting?
Are they doing this for me?
Let's see if we can find anything cool in here.
You know what we should be finding out
is if anybody here has the firmware
for the Sony A1.
Firmware A1 firmware.
You guys got the A1 firmware?
Anybody?
Firmware for the A1.
Focus being conversation on the A1 anybody got it?
You got it?
Anybody in here?
Anybody in Sony know where that firmware update is?
We found some YouTubers here.
- Oh no.
- Got Potato Jet Gene.
We're recording a video on record time.
We've only, okay, well switch over
to Matti Haapoja, second favorite of the group.
(gentle spirited music)
How's your NAB experience going?
- Pretty good.
- Question for you.
We're on the lookout for the Deity booth.
Have you happened to see where they're located?
- No idea.
- I think the audience is really gonna enjoy that.
Yeah, let's just stand here for a moment of silence.
(people babbling)
Back to you Chris.
Matti was just telling me about
how he's looking at 32 bit float.
Deity apparently.
- Because of you.
But they just announced
a 32-bit float recorder that also is wireless
and also some other things.
I thought maybe we could actually test it out here at NAB,
which is difficult obviously with the,
why am I telling you?
We don't even know where the Deity booth is.
- And nobody even knows what 32 bit float is so.
- So say something to the people at home Gene.
(gentle spirited music)
- Hey.
- Oh wait, a minute.
- Tell 'em something interesting.
I think we got it, all right.
- What company is making this shock mount?
This is, this is an Undone Original.
Yeah, you'll be able to find these probably at B&H.
- I will make sure to order one of these.
- Perfect, we're trying to get to Deity sir,
better be important.
- What's Deity?
- What's Deity? This guy--
- I'm sorry, I'm not.
- I'm collapsing the mic.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm collapsing the mic sir.
- Zhiyun.
- Yeah, perfect.
You pronounce it more right than 90% of our own staff.
Zhi means wisdom and Yun means cloud.
- So like.
- So like smart devices for our products.
- That's actually kind - The smart ones
- of clever - always come back.
So the newest product is the ones that I did the video on.
Yes, you already reviewed it.
Well there you go.
We don't need to cover at NAB.
Go watch the video on my channel.
- Forty three minutes remaining - Forty three minutes
- If not for anything else.
You can upload this as a one hour overheating test.
- There you go.
(Chris and Gerald laughing)
Thanks to B&H for sponsoring a
ZV-E1 overheating test.
We're all turned around.
Oh, I see it.
Look. Look through the crack.
You see it?
- Oh, I do see it.
- No, no I don't.
- Focus I'm tapping to focus.
You see me?
- Perfect, this place is a maze.
I've already lost track of where Deity is.
I think it was over here somewhere, right?
Okay, It was seriously like a mirage.
Were we just looking at Nikon?
- It turned into Nikon.
- They were right here.
Okay, but off camera.
Seriously, where the hell the Deity go?
I swear to God I pointed at their sign right.
I don't know, we can harass Nikon I guess.
Is that a Nikon?
I feel like I'm losing it here fam.
So first of all we walk toward the yellow
because we thought we were walking toward Deity.
but then Deity turned into a yellow Nikon sign.
We go into the Nikon booth,
but it's all robotics because we're
at MRMC leaders in studio robotics and automation solutions.
What happened to Nikon?
Are the booths transforming
into other booths as like--
I seriously feel like I'm losing my mind.
Like no jokes Chris.
- He's not lying.
We walked here cause it said Deity.
- That says Nikon and now we're on this camera.
There's so many angles of us right now.
We're in here, we're in there, we're in there.
There's like cameraception going on.
That's correct.
Chris Brockhurst just informed me
that Nikon is now a robotics company.
Yeah, let's get a tight shot of this over here.
What do you got on your camera here sir?
Bring it in Chris.
- It's some skins. Like it?
- I'm not sure.
What do you think Chris? Seven out of 10?
- Six out of 7.
(man laughing)
- He's Crazy.
- What's that sir?
What's, what did you just say, sir?
- I think people should have to sing.
Dun, dun, Gerald Undone,
He's crazy! Before they talk to you.
♪ He's crazy. ♪
- Thirty seven minutes.
- I have a theory that the Deity booth is actually
like a go-kart and it's kind of wheeling around here.
Maybe they've got a banner and we keep seeing moves
and we're following it, but we're never gonna get there.
That's what I think is happening.
I know this is gonna sound stupid
because I swear I saw it right here,
but let's go look over there I guess.
I'm just looking for yellow at this point
and every time I see something yellow it,
I get excited
and then it, it fades right away.
(gentle spirited music)
I honestly, legitimately didn't see it either, by the way
- [Chris] Oh God.
We're down to 33,
33 minutes.
- That's a weird choice of like fonts
that Panasonic Connect or whatever it says.
Do you mind if I interrupt?
We have a time limit here.
We're here with Lumix.
- Nice.
- I'm here to take a little physical preview.
Even just if you just point at it
of the
S5 IIX
- The S5 IIX is in a glass case right over there.
- Is that so I can't touch it?
Cause anyway I wanted to touch it so bad.
- Yes.
- How's your show going so far?
- It's going great.
Did you see the Kondor Blue handle?
- Elaborate. So now why would we want this?
- So you can use your USB output, nice.
Nice thing about external SSDs,
is that a two terabyte drive under 200 bucks.
This can also be connected directly to your computer
and could be used as the dock as well.
- Is this a GH6?
- Yes, this is a GH6
because it's the only one of our cameras
that currently has a live USB output
for recording content to.
- But he says currently, because.
- The S5 IIX will be already been announced
that it will be able to do it.
- Five out of seven.
- Five out of seven. That's not bad.
That's pretty good.
- That's a 10 outta 14.
That's a 10 outta 14.
What's that in a percentage?
- Three.
- This is Sean from, from Lumix or Panasonic.
Have we decided on what we're going with with that yet?
- Oh, it's Lumix.
Hi,
I'm Sean.
I like motorcycles.
(motorcycle engine roaring)
- I like that they're all outfitted with Kondor Blue
but we haven't even been to the Kondor Blue booth yet.
What? What are we doing?
I got my face plastered all over that thing.
A lot of functional top handles I've
always been kind of meh about.
- Yeah.
- But this is a really elegant way to hide the drive.
How much time we got left Chris?
- We're down to 23 minutes.
- So I figured we'd take a quick stop at the Canon booth
and see if they've got anything interesting going on.
Nope.
(man laughing)
Let's go see who at the B&H booth even knows who I am.
They can hurt my ego.
What's going on here ladies?
- [Lady] Hi. - What's your name?
- Gerald Undone.
You guys didn't know what my name was?
- No.
- Okay, so see we're already zero for two
at the B&H booth.
Will this, let me see all the secret gear
that B&H isn't showing anybody else.
- There's no gear at the party.
- Says there's no secret gear,
but we know there's secret gear.
we just gotta find it again.
Again big shout out to B&H for flying me down here.
Make sure you check out the link in description,
I'm gonna put a link in there for either their hottest deals
or maybe if the NAB deals are still going on
I'll put those in there.
But if it takes me too long to edit this video
because Chris Brockhurst is terrible at his job
then I'll just put in the regular deals,
which are actually worth checking out.
B&H is great.
Great store, I love 'em.
They're great to me.
Show 'em some love.
Okay
- Eight minutes.
- Eight minutes left.
We gotta find Deity and I see Kondor Blue over there
so maybe we should just stop by there on our way to Deity.
Are we able to cut through? Is that a problem?
- Absolutely. - Okay, thank you much.
This is my B&H guy here.
- How you doing man?
- This is Stuart, he takes care of me.
- I do, I try.
- He's the one that,
- He's a big guy.
- He's, he's my Jewish grandpa.
- There you go.
Always with wise words of wisdom.
- Me or you?
- You.
- You wanted.
What is it you wanted a selfie or something?
- I want an autograph.
(gentle upbeat music)
- Well, if you want anything from Gerald Undone
you have to say something interesting to my audience.
Armando Ferreira everybody. How's it going?
(gentle spirited music)
We only got a few minutes left.
Do you wanna say something interesting to my audience?
- Sure.
No.
- Okay.
- Hey.
(Dave laughing)
(gentle spirited music)
- Hey Dave, what's the favorite thing
about the Kondor Blue booth that you see?
It's the--
Please say it's the thing behind you.
- It's all the purple objects that are in
especially the ones that are in my mouth now.
- In your mouth?
Okay, Look at this
- Everybody heard it.
- We don't got time to chat.
Show 'em.
We've only got like three minutes left on--
I'm serious.
- Three minutes.
- We've only got three minutes left and then we gotta.
- Is that a mic?
What's that? This is my mic.
This is Lukas from Kondor Blue.
How's it going Lucas.
Mic stand.
- Perfect for sound.
I don't, I don't think that's appropriate.
Hey, it's Brandon Washington.
We got five seconds.
Say something interesting.
(gentle spirited music)
- I'm.
- Perfect. We gotta go to the Deity, okay.
One minute flat or like what do we got?
- Under a minute.
- Under a minute?
- Under a minute. We're under a minute.
- Excuse us, sorry.
There's that thing that we climbed, wasn't it?
- Yep.
Oh, we're gonna lose it.
- So we,
that means they're there
or no behind that pillar.
Deity microphones, we found it.
Okay, tell us what you got.
We're really excited about this.
- Yeah, so Digital UHF--
