(energetic music)
- Here's an interesting mount. (laughs)
I'm curious how this will turn out.
I think you're supposed to wear this on the back like this.
What do you think?
- Is it supposed to be in the back or in the front?
(laughs)
- I don't know, it might be in the front.
This is awkward.
- [Sam] Try to touch your forehead.
(laughs)
- I don't care if you guys think I look like a kid
going through puberty.
You might get a little bit of weird looks.
- [Sam] Or happy looks.
- Or happy looks, yeah.
Literally, this will record your vlog angle,
but also I could just turn it around and pose,
and look at you guys, and it's just everything.
You gonna go for a spin with me?
- Well, I was gonna wash my car,
but this definitely seems a lot more fun!
(motorcycle engine roars)
- [Potato Jet Voiceover] Today's video
is sponsored by Insta360,
which is the camera we are currently using
to get some of these crazy, mind-blowing shots.
Shout out to them, we are doing a giveaway
with two of these cameras.
For a chance to win, make sure you stick around.
Now, I've made a few videos about this camera before.
Most of you guys know I love playing with this thing.
It's super fun,
but if you're just tuning in, this is a 360 camera.
Now, what does that mean?
Well, it has two super wide-angle lenses
planted on both sides of the camera,
recording literally everything in every direction,
so side to side, above, below, everything gets captured.
Then the camera's gonna automatically
stitch those two halves together,
and what's awesome about the One X in particular,
is that it does a killer job at stabilizing
the footage as well.
If you're running around, shaking that camera everywhere,
then don't worry, this camera has got you covered.
I go more in depth in some of my other videos,
but today, let's check out
some of the accessories they have.
'Cause there's a whole gaggle of them.
But let's start off with the essential.
If you're gonna get one of these cameras,
you've gotta get the Invisible Selfie Stick.
It's called that because the camera automatically
removes it from your footage, which is awesome.
If you get this camera, it's a must-have accessory.
Good news, I have a partner link
down below in the description,
and if you use it to buy the Insta360 One X,
you get the selfie stick for free.
I would also definitely get some spare batteries,
you can go through a few batteries
with a full day of shooting.
And then there's the back bar,
which you saw me playing with earlier.
But all jokes aside, it's pretty useful,
especially if you're doing something
that requires both hands.
Today is the day we're going bungee jumping,
but unfortunately, I broke my arm,
so I can't do the jump,
but somebody is.
(laughs)
She's a little bit terrified of heights.
- I'm just, I'm really nervous.
- And we just got to the parking lot,
and it's about another five-mile hike
to The Bridge to Nowhere.
That's a great name for our bungee jump.
- I can't wait to hear Sam scream.
- I don't scream, I war cry.
(shouting playfully) (laughing)
- Check out this stick, it's like carbon fiber.
It's super light.
This might be one of my favorite accessories, actually.
Check this out.
Close up!
(laughs)
- [Potato Jet] You got this?
- I got this.
I'm not scared anymore. - Yeah, right.
Insta360 has these different accessory kits,
essentially, and this one's part of the bungee kit.
You want me to tell your family anything, or?
You good?
- Mom, I'm sorry I got tattoos, I never told you!
(laughs)
- [Potato Jet] Oh, no, Sam, are you sure about this?
- Shut up, Gene.
- [Potato Jet] I've heard stories about--
- Skateboarding kick left--
(laughing) - Point straight out.
In five, four, three, two, one, bungee.
(screams) (laughing)
(dramatic music)
(Potato Jet laughing)
- Oh my God, that was so scary.
- Whoa, that looks crazy. (laughs)
All right, we're recording in 100 frames per second now.
- [Instructor] In five, four, three, two, one.
(dramatic music)
(screaming)
- I want it to be one of those shots that's like, (roars)
like that, but off the bungee.
That'd be cool.
- [Instructor] Bungee!
(screaming) (shrieking)
(laughing)
(dramatic music)
- All that buildup and anxiety for nothing. (laughs)
That was so cool.
I'm super happy I did it.
(dramatic music)
(laughing)
- You're not even close to straight, dude!
(laughing)
Hey, that's pretty good! (punching sound effect plays)
(laughing)
Out of all the accessories that we were playing with,
I think this might take the win for my favorite,
especially 'cause you can take this,
and put it right next to the bungee jumpers.
How much do you trust me, Jonatan?
- [Jonatan] Not much.
(grunts loudly)
(laughs)
- I like how Sam's covering his crotch!
Penis attack!
Look how close I got.
- [Sam] It's really close.
- That's pretty good.
My first impressions were like, man, whatever.
But now I just fling it, I love this thing.
The only thing I don't like about this,
is how this foam sticks out a little bit,
and it actually sometimes get captured in the footage.
But what I didn't realize,
was that this foam is supposed to come off before filming.
If you end up getting one,
then make sure you take it off,
or else you're gonna see this little floating thing
in a bunch of your shots.
We also mounted this on the drone,
and it actually came out looking pretty awesome.
We're in controlled airspace right now,
so we can't fly a drone, and also not everybody has a drone.
Why don't we make a poor man's drone?
Ha, ha ha, you look like the boy from Up.
I don't want to hear it!
Okay?
Shut, shh.
What's awesome is usually you need a gimbal
for something like this,
but since this camera is already stabilized internally,
I don't think we're gonna need it.
How's the view from up there? (laughs)
I'm totally gonna hit a tree, and it's gonna pop.
Keep in mind that this camera is flopping around like this.
It's literally like this the whole time it was up there,
and it's stabilizing the footage okay,
so that's pretty awesome.
Dude, that's so cool!
That's trippy, look at that shot right there, whoa.
That's freaking cool.
- [Sam] That's pretty high.
- Anyways, let's try out this new Active Track feature,
that follows me wherever I go,
and read some comments from my last video,
which was where we go to Home Depot,
and just try to buy a bunch of lights
that are cheap, and some of the like, 10 bucks,
and see how they went.
Top comment was from Outer Limits.
Potato Jet says,
guys, I have a huge medical bill
I have to pay for, so we need to create
lots of content on a budget.
The team says, Home Depot run.
Steve says, can I get a brand new camera though?
(laughing)
That's funny, 'cause usually the roles are reversed.
I'm usually the one saying,
hey, let's go buy all this stuff.
And he's like, no, we need to save money.
- Camera Conspiracy says,
no fair, you have a cyborg vlogging arm now.
Why would I need a vlogging arm if I have this,
just, permanent, Active Track vlogging camera? (laughs)
Film Riot, shout-out to Potato Jet yesterday.
Whoa, yes, I immediately got thousands of subscribers,
I was like, where is all this coming from?
Thanks Film Riot.
Steven asks, how much pain meds are you on in this video?
I'm on a lot right now.
I feel great right now.
I can move around and everything,
but as soon as I stop taking it,
my arm starts aching and I feel all this sharp pain.
Not cool.
MK Zaman says, looks like they screw in a fidget spinner
on your elbow, wishing you a speedy recovery.
I guess it does look kind of like a fidget spinner,
doesn't it?
- Hey, it does!
Potato Jet looks just like the guy from Community,
season 1, episode 25.
Yes, I had a little cameo.
- For delightful.
- I can't believe I spent ten bucks on this!
I don't know any of these people!
- Yeah, so you're boy's a star.
I was on screen for a whole four seconds.
That was my days of fame.
Now, I'm walking around with a broken arm
with balloons tied to me.
This is much more fulfilling,
at least that's what I tell myself every night.
DGI's Active Track versus Insta360's Active Track.
(balloon pops)
(laughs)
Hey, it's still kind of floating with two.
How many of these balloons do you think
it would take to lift up one of our dogs?
Oh, right, and about that giveaway.
Remember, we're giving away two of these guys.
For a chance to win,
that's my Instagram handle, that's Insta360.
Give us a follow, and leave a comment down below,
letting us know why you want this,
and what you would shoot with it.
Good luck to y'all.
See you guys later.
Whoo!
