This will all make sense in a minute.
Why he's here, why all this stuff is spread around the table
but for now...
- Let's get undone.
(engaging funk music)

- Hello everybody,
we got a video here for you today with Peter Lindgren,
he came all the way to Canada from Sweden.
(both laughing)
That's how you say it, right?
- Exactly.
- And we decided to come up with a video.
Peter brought his bag of tricks, his filmmaking gear,
we're gonna look what's inside
and see if he's making terrible mistakes.
- This is the best bag and the best gear.
- Peak Design? - Yeah.
- We got a second angle set up here.
I don't know how useful it's gonna be but we'll see,
okay, let's jump right into it, Peter.
- Yeah, okay, (bag unzipping)
- Which way does it-
- Prepare to be amazed.
- Okay, I don't care about drone stuff
but let's take a look, what do we got?
This is a little flying device of yours?
- Yes.
- This is definitely a DJI device.
If I had to guess, this is...
Me guessing is actually worth something,
cause I, as people who know my channel,
I don't do anything about drones ever.
I have one drone video and I flew in my apartment.
- That's perfect.
(drone hovering) (silly music)
- This is a Air 2S.
- No
- Mavic 2 Pro?
- No. (Peter laughs)
Helicopter 6A, I don't know what is it?
Is it a mini?
This isn't a mini, is it?
- Yes. - It's a mini.
- It's the A65 Stealth.
- That's not true. - Nah, I'm just playing.
This is a DJI Mini 3.
Mini 3, okay. - Pro.
- Mini because you don't know what the rules are,
so you're like, "I'll bring the mini
"and then I'll get away with it."
- Basically, do you know why I have
the full pack of batteries?
- Three batteries?
Because I don't know, you wanna fly more?
(80s metal music)
(both laughing)
- The good thing with this,
is actually that it works as a power bank
so you don't have to-
- Oh, that is cool actually, that is cool.
To power your phone and whatever else, yeah?
- So you don't have to have an extra power bank.
- Is that what this is for?
Is this a battery charger?
- The worst battery charger in the entire world.
I do not recommend this, this is the Nitecore.
- Night Court?
(both laughing)
What is this?
- Yes.
Oh, Nitecore and they spelled night, N-I-T-E.
That's how you know, you're getting quality, right?
Is that Micro B USB?
- That's the ancient one, micro USB.
You can only charge one battery at a time
and it charges super slow.
- Why does it have a dual bay then?
- I know, I have absolutely no idea.
- But in theory, could you plug this into this?
- Yes, you should be able to.
- Let's see...
When you're on the go
and you need to plug your batteries into your batteries.
(both laughing)
- If you wanna drain one and charge the other.
- And then you got a cord.
- Yeah, that's...
- Nobody cares about your card.
- No, no, it's a special cord.
I bought this cord on Mallorca, in Spain.
- Oh yeah? - Yeah.
- Cause you lost yours or- - Yes.
- Yeah I figured. - So it's a special one.
- What's this?
Oh, it's card case.
Okay, let's examine your SD cards.
(both laughing)
Good thing you got a 12 case.
Okay, moving right along.
You got a CFexpress Type A in there though.
- Yeah.
- Okay, are your cards flipped over
because you shot on these
or shot on this one and you don't wanna-
- Absolutely no structure at all.
- Okay. - Nothing.
- I was about to give you points for something.
(Peter chuckling)
All right, you got your phone in here?
(Peter laughing)
That's a Swedish telephone right there.
Swedish telecom, "Hello, this is Peter.
"Have you heard the latest ABBA single?"
Anyway, what is this, a calculator?
- This is my bank.
(Peter speaking in Swedish)
We say in Swedish, (Peter speaking in Swedish).
- That's how you do your banking?
- Yes.
If my phone dies,
I need to be able to do something on the bank,
I need to have this.
- It really is for your bank?
- Yes, it is.
- What's something you would do?
- Pay stuff?
- You can pay something with that?
- Yeah so you sign in on the computer
and then you have this as a verified, that it's you.
- Oh, is it kinda like a security key kind of thing?
- Yeah. - Oh, okay that's interesting.
What do we got here?
DJI, oh, this is that-
- I thought so.
(Peter laughing)
- DJI, what do they call this Osmo Pocket?
This isn't an Osmo Pocket?
- Just listening to Gerald try to guess.
- It's an Osmo...
Osmo flip.
- Try again. - Z flip.
I've never used one of these either.
It might say on here somewhere.
I saw...
I think I saw Potato Jet talk about one of theses.
- Go ahead pop the camera off,
throw it on here and cry myself to sleep.
(Potato Jet babbling)
- Action 2.
- Action 2, what did I say?
- Z flip. (both laughing)
- Close enough. (both laughing)
What do you use this for?
- This was great when I was in Mallorca,
and I shoot underwaters.
- Do you do anything other than in Mallorca, apparently?
- I mean, look at the tan.
Look at this.
- Show...
This is how you can tell, look at my...
Look how, I'm like pink, you see?
I don't get sun.
This is some Southern European tan.
- From Sweden. - Right here.
- Oh, cause you were in...
Swedish don't have Southern European tans.
- No, Swedes look like this.
- They look like me, yeah, exactly.
(both laughing)
We gotta a little dongle.
Oh, that's kinda...
That's actually kind of novel.
They got an RJ45 hidden in there.
It's the little things.
- Fascinated by a dongle.
- Okay, we got one more case here.
Freewell ND filters?
- [Peter] Yes, all of them.
- Oh, that's fun how it kind of accordions out like that.
Let's look at the camera system we're rocking here.
So we've got Sony A7S3.
See, I know these devices, right?
- Okay.
- All the people now on YouTube are gonna be like,
"Yeah, cause he's paid by Sony"
- Now he's trying to brag a little bit.
- I just-
- He's just saying that--
- Where is your hot shoe cover?
He's traveling without a hot shoe cover
and that's the multi interface shoe too.
- You see, look at how much water.
That's corrosion in there.
- Yeah, there's a little bit of corrosion in there.
And that's why kids,
you bring your multi interface shoe cover.
You also don't have your view finder,
the eye loop or whatever eye cup.
- You can't have parts
that are easily to disappear on the camera
because then they're just gonna disappear.
So I remove them, they're gone.
They're disappeared.
Very first thing here,
he's using extended ISO to the lower limit.
ISO 160, those lines on the top and bottom,
and you're doing it wrong, Peter.
- I know who, who cares though?
It looks good.
- 24p. Don't you guys shoot PAL or something in Sweden?
- I switched because of Canada.
- Really?
- Yesterday, when I got to the hotel.
When I was done with the vlog, switched to NTSC.
- Why?
You're not jacked into the electrical system,
you're on a battery.
- All the lights flicker here.
- That's actually good point.
Every time I get an opportunity
to bring this up, I'm going to.
Sony, put the focus breathing compensation in the A1.
It's the flagship, okay?
Costs like 6,500 US.
Why is it in the $2,500 camera and not in that one?
Come on!
- And in this.
- Yeah, it's not in this either.
Yeah, which is also more money than the A74.
- It is. - And the FX3.
And it should be in everything.
Just put it in everything right now.
Okay, white balance is on auto.
That's fine, if you don't know what...
Here's something though-
- If you don't know?
- If you don't know what you're-
- Okay, thank you, thank you.
- What your shooting condition is gonna be.
Put it in auto if you don't know what you're doing.
(Peter laughing)
But something I like to do though, when I'm...
So here's the thing, I think it depends on the outcome,
but if you're trying to show the changing moods
then I like to lock it off at...
On the A73, I'd probably put it like 5200K, 5300K,
and just leave it like that all the time.
And if it's warm temperature, you can see that's warm.
If you're going to cool, you can see it's cool.
And it kinda,
for a vlog it kinda shows the changing light environment.
But if you were doing real estate or something,
and you wanted everything to look clean white.
- Yeah, I agree.
- Then you have to change your white balance for each scene.
- It's a great thing.
I mean, I only shoot auto white balance because I'm...
Sometimes I want to have neutral looking light
when I'm in, you know, Tungsten.
- That makes sense.
So first I was about to give him crap
because he's shooting picture profile one.
But then I went in
and picture profile one has been remapped to-
- Look at that.
- S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine.
- This guy knows.
- But why?
You could have just chose picture profile nine is it,
on the A7S3?
- And how much do you need to scroll?
- Or eight. - To get to to nine-
- But why are you changing it? - Compared to one?
- If I only use that...
- He's using auto white balance but he's shooting an S-Log3.
(Peter sighs)
Okay, so I was expecting to, to give you harder time,
although you are shooting 4:2:0 8-bit.
- Yeah, what's the difference?
- This is an A7S3, we were talking about it forever
that you got 10-bit, finally.
- I know.
- And he is shooting, he's shooting...
He's shooting, what is this?
What is this?
- 60 megabit per second, 4:2:0 8-bit?
100 megabit, 4:2:2 10-bit my man.
- Oh my...
Come on...
We need to save space.
Okay so now you have three hours and six minutes.
When you were on the 60 megabit,
you had four hours and 50 minutes.
- That's like two hours.
- I mean, you're not wrong, but get another card.
(Peter laughs)
Oh yeah, right, now I know why you're trying to save space
cause you have an empty card case with nothing in it.
(Peter laughing)
It's ISO 160 and shutter speed 1/1000.
You're trying to shoot in broad sunlight again
without using ND so you're over cranking your shutter,
under cranking your ISO,
but you have a case of NDs that you wasted travel weight on.
- [Peter] I'm gonna show you the best part though.
- Okay. - My holster.
- Is that one of those Peak Design?
- Yeah, look at that.
- I saw you had one on the camera or on the the strap right?
That's good.
Is you feel secure with that?
- I feel like Wyatt Earp.
- Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens.
- Okay, 16-35mm f/2.8,
is this lens starting to feel a little old for you
or are you still likin' it?
- That's actually a very old lens.
I don't think it's up-to-date.
- I mean, it was...
It's a good lens, I'm not gonna knock it.
- It's great.
- But I think looking at it now,
compared to Sony's recent line, it does start...
It's starting to show its age a little bit.
- For sure, and-
- I mean, it's a workhorse though.
- I also think it's too big
for what Sony would be able to do now.
- Right, yeah they've gone to much smaller.
The zoom is still nice on it though.
- Yeah.
- And I notice you don't have any kinda lens cap
or anything on it.
- Nope.
- All right, taking points off for that too.
50mm f/1.2, what do you use this for?
What are your different functions?
Okay, so we got the 16-35.
We've got the 50 1.2 and we've got the...
What is this the Sigma 100 to 400?
- Yep.
- So walk me through when you would be changing lenses
in a given situation.
- We have vlog lens, all around lens.
- [Gerald] That's a hefty lens for vlogging too, eh?
- Yeah, it is.
I do think it's a little bit heavy.
I would've loved to have something smaller
but I tried shooting with Tamron 17-28.
- Yeah?
- A lot of focus hunting didn't work as well.
And even though 17 and 16 is not that far off,
you can still feel the difference.
- Okay. - Weirdly enough.
- What about using the 16-35, the new f/4,
and then you don't have to crank your shutter
to 1/50,000 or whatever you're doing for...
(both laughing) (TV signal beeps)
- When I put on the 50, maybe some additional B-roll,
a little bit smooth and then thumbnails,
very good blowing out the background-
- And the foreground and most of the mid ground.
- Blowing ground.
This is everything-
- Careful. (both chuckling)
Careful where you're shooting that, Peter.
- Basically environmental shots.
If you wanna get some environmental shots
of construction workers or buildings,
or traffic or whatever.
- Or dust and scratches, cause you don't use a lens cap.
(Peter laughs)
Although to be...
I'm not encouraging people not to use a lens cap-
- I feel like I'm getting a lot of crap
for not using lens caps though.
- Not to worry people.
You can have some crud on the end of your lens
and it's not gonna affect your shot,
just the way the lenses work.
But still, put a damn lens cap on it.
And then the last thing I think,
unless you got somethin' hidden here somewhere,
is you've got one of those multi interface microphones.
I still haven't used this one too much.
This is the one, the different polar patterns?
Yeah, you can switch the polar pattern.
Then you've got auto/manual for the level,
you got a little dial there.
You got your filters and you have an attenuator
so nice controls.
You use this as your on camera vloggy mic?
- Yep.
- How do you like it?
- It's great, one of the best mics that I've ever used.
- This versus say the lens,
this compensates with some of the lens heft,
cause this is small and light.
And when you load it up, which is easy to do
because you don't have a multi interface cover on your-
- It's also you don't have to consider charging it.
- That's right.
Oh yeah cause it just takes...
- Yeah.
- Have you ever noticed it affect your battery life at all?
- No. - Yeah?
- Not once.
- And it's stabilized?
- Yeah. - Or yours is broken?
- The only... (both laughing)
It is, but I don't like this...
(boom mic shaking)
because you can hear it's the-
- Is that how you vlog?
(both laughing)
It's because his lens is too heavy.
He's like, Peter's trying to vlog.
He's like, "Okay guys..."
(Peter laughing)
(TV signal beeping)
This looks like it was a demo that you got from Sony
you never returned or whatever.
(both laughing)
"Uh, has anybody seen Mic 1?"
And Peter's like... (both laughing)
- Look the other side though.
- Anti theft marked, you totally stole...
It like probably had one of those cables attached to it
like at Best Buy or something, or whatever they have in Sweden.
- No that that's something
that you only have here in the U.S.
- Yeah?
You realize we're in Canada right now, right?
- Yeah, North America, same thing.
- Who let him in? (TV signal beeping)
- I thought what if we clear everything off the table?
What if we shoot the intro now?
- Yeah.
- And then that'll be weird
cause then if we get at this point of the video
and we just end it right now.
- Yeah?
- But people know that just two seconds after this,
is when we shot the intro
that you saw at the beginning of the video.
But the video is gonna end right now, which will be weird.
Right? - That's a good hook.
- Say something strange.
That's how we'll end it.
