- Do you want a gimbal?
As you could tell by the title, yes,
I'm doing a giveaway for gimbals
and basically, on this channel,
I have done a ton of gimbal reviews and in the past year,
I've had a lot of different gimbals sent to me,
so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do a giveaway
for all of these gimbals,
but let's see which ones I have to give away.
Alright, so, let's see,
we got this guy, little fold up one.
VILTA Pro.
We got, ooh, giant WEEBILL LAB, full kit here.
I love this gimbal, it works great.
Let's see what else.
We got this guy,
it's another fold up little gimbal.
I got the Crane 2.
This one's good if you have bigger cameras.
A little focus wheel.
It comes with the focus motor.
I got the FreeVision.
This one's a good one.
I got the Filmpower 4500.
It's got, you know, five axes, 'cause three's not enough.
Accsoon A1, Accsoon A1-S.
Alright, so I have eight gimbals to give away.
The link is down in the description
where you guys can enter this giveaway
and I'm going to announce the winners here on my channel
in the Community tab.
So, this is kind of a rolling giveaway.
I'm gonna do one winner at a time
and you'll see when you click the link
when I'm gonna do each winners.
There's gonna be eight different times
that I'm gonna give away a gimbal
and the person who wins first gets a choice
of the eight gimbals and then,
the next person gets the choice of seven, six, five.
I wanted to do a giveaway for a few reasons.
Number one is that this channel hit 300K
just a little bit ago and I was planning to do, like,
a big giveaway around 300K
and things have just been kinda crazy
between traveling and working
that I finally put everything together
and this is happening now.
Also, last week I turned 31, so I figured, why not?
Now is the perfect time to do a little cleanup,
get rid of these gimbals and instead of just, like,
selling them, I figured I'd give 'em out to all of you guys
because I know a lot of you are interested in gimbals
and it's just another tool
to help you get some awesome footage
for your channel or for whatever else
it is that you're creating.
So I'm gonna announce the winners on the Community tab.
Make sure that you're subscribed to this channel
and you have your bell notifications turned on
so that you're notified and you can see
when the winners go up or you could just, you know,
check back on this channel periodically
and see if you won.
Make sure that you put in an email that you check.
Make sure you check the Community tab, notifications,
all that good stuff so you don't miss it
if you win one of these gimbals.
Also, I'd love to hear from you down in the comments.
Let me know why you want a gimbal
or what you would use your gimbal for
if you were to win.
But guys, I also wanted to do a update video,
just because there's been a lot going on behind the scenes.
I haven't really posted a video in over a week
and there's a few reasons for that.
For one, I just, you know,
wanted to take a little bit of a break.
I posted five videos back to back.
I did that whole series on triggering the algorithm
and I'm still, kind of, analyzing the results on that,
seeing how that whole thing performed
in terms of a series on my channel.
And then also, I've just been, like, nonstop filming
with my production company.
For those of you who are newer to this channel,
I not only do YouTube, but I also have a production company
here in Los Angeles and for some reason,
this time of year has gotten super busy for us.
So I just shot the last five days,
which gave me some awesome opportunities
to test some new gear.
So I was playing with the AK4500,
the new FeiyuTech gimbal that's coming out.
I also got a chance to play
with the Hollyland wireless transmitter.
So, I've had a lot of opportunity to just test gear out
and play with gear in real world settings.
So, I'm gonna use some footage
from the shoots I've been doing for some reviews coming up
and also, when I just get a chance
to shoot some more content for the channel,
I'm gonna sit down and do some more in depth reviews and,
but I also have a bunch of videos backlogged
and I was in The Azores for a couple weeks,
I was in Portugal, I did a yoga retreat with my wife,
but we also just did some exploring,
so I have a cool, like, cinematic video
that I've been putting together all around The Azores,
which, if you've never heard of The Azores
or you've never been to The Azores,
I highly suggest you put that on your travel list
because it's kind of like one of those untouched places.
I mean, there is definitely tourism there,
but it's not like some of the other places we've been
and it was pretty amazing with the hikes
and everything else there.
Definitely highly recommend and it was a awesome trip.
So I got some videos, kind of, around that whole trip
that I haven't got to yet.
I also have my climbing film.
I put together a climbing film
from climbing Cotopaxi in Ecuador back in January, February
and it's just one of those projects
that I've been sitting on
and I didn't really know what to do with it.
It's, right now, at a 30 minute cut, so it's a long video.
And I'd love to hear from you guys.
If that's something that you guys
would like to see on this channel,
you'd like to see the full 30 minute, kind of,
video around that climb, I'd be happy to finish that up
and put it up here or if you guys are more interested in,
like, my five to 10 minute, kind of, short films,
then I'll cut it down and make one of those out of this
and I'd love to hear from you guys down in the comments.
Let me know about that.
And just in general, let me know
if you guys like doing those kind of adventure films
or if you're just here for tech stuff.
I mean, personally, I like doing a little bit of everything.
It does get boring only shooting tech stuff,
but, you know, obviously, do a little bit of tech,
little bit of filmmaking and some travel,
some adventure, and it definitely makes shooting
and creating content just so much more enjoyable
when you mix it up and you do, kind of, different things
instead of always shooting the same exact thing.
If you guys don't know this about my channel,
I originally started because I needed, like,
a creative outlet
because I was just shooting fitness videos.
That's what my production company does,
we shoot fitness videos,
and that's all I was shooting for years
and I was like, I gotta do something different
and so I came up with this channel.
It's evolved over time and it's really helped me move
in a different direction in terms of my creativity
and what I'm doing.
One of the big things that happened on this channel,
like, probably about six months go is
I was looking for an editor
and I wasn't necessarily looking at an editor for YouTube,
I was looking for an editor for my production company
and my wife and I hired on someone,
he's an awesome guy, and he's our full time editor
for my production company and that basically freed me up
to really put more focus over here on YouTube
so I could shoot for my production company
and not be so bogged down by editing.
One of the key things when it comes to being a creator
is finding your bottlenecks
and at that time, that was my bottleneck,
but I've noticed recently that it's been harder for me
to get content out for this channel
because my bottleneck has been editing content
for this channel, so I'm actually in the process
of figuring out how to make this streamlined
a little bit faster, so I can focus more on the content,
focus more on creating some new things for this channel,
and, kind of, moving forward,
rather than always just trying to play catch up
and that's one of the hardest things,
when it comes to being a creator,
is trying to get out of that idea
of just always catching up, like,
always just trying to keep up with everything
that's going on, rather than just, you know,
moving forward in some direction and editing,
for me, has been my biggest bottleneck.
So, I'm actually working on potentially bringing
on an editor for YouTube to help me streamline the process,
make things start moving a little bit faster,
so that I can start moving in a different direction
and start doing more of the, like,
creative and documentary stuff that I've been wanting to do
for a while and really be able to create some stuff
that I've wanted to create for a long time on this channel.
So I have some big things planned for this channel
and as I get things, kind of, figured out and streamlined,
I'll be able to start going after those projects
and bringing something a little bit different here
on my YouTube channel.
But like I said, I just wanted to do a quick update video.
If you wanna enter the giveaway
to win one of these awesome gimbals,
make sure you head down in the description
and guys, that's it.
I'll have another video for you very soon.
