gingerbread house in today's a little update video i wanted to bring you guys
behind the scenes of what's coming up in 2019 QA episode 3 and a little surprise
at the end so happy New Year to you all 2019 just next week I'm flying over to
Vegas for CES if you see me come over and say hello it'd be awesome to meet
you I have a few fun videos planned for while I'm over there and then as this
channel continues to grow I have a lot more bigger and more fun exciting
projects video ideas and even some giveaways so this is gonna be Q&A
episode 3 I asked you guys on my Instagram Twitter and my YouTube
community tab to send in your questions make sure you guys are following me on
my Instagram in case you haven't already thank you all for submitting your
questions let's jump right in Kyle asks what made you want to start a YouTube
channel so I've always been into making videos that's why stay in college and
really into tech and gadgets I used to buy gear all the time for my video
business and then if I saw there weren't good reviews out there I'll just make it
for fun well then I made that hoverboard video it blew up I saw the massive
potential of YouTube so now I'm able to mix the two world perfectly together I
love making videos and I love reviewing playing with and testing different tech
gadgets camera gear all that sorts of stuff
see jog as any plans on doing a comparison on the Osmo pocket vers Osmo
plus they never sent me the Osmo pocket so not sure if that comparison is coming
soon but stay tuned and thank you guys for always sending your video ideas and
suggestions I'm always listening and if I have time I try to make that video for
you guys when I can clickbait GT how much is all of your tech worth like RC
car phone and all that cool stuff I try to sell a lot of my old stuff so not
including that maybe 10 15 kegs just a rough guess you seen ass how long have
you been on YouTube okay so I'm not sure to find out I go find my hoverboard
video which is what kicked it all off we're at 15 million views on that sucker
that is so awesome thank you thank you that was published
on June 11 2015 so we're about three and a half years going full-time on YouTube
oh he also asks how do I get subscribers I'm saying that 36 um I just say keep
crane content it's hard grind it's a lot of hard work there's a lot of
competition especially on YouTube right now but just keep producing content and
all it takes is one video to really get recognized shrieky which is the best
gopro hero 6 and hero 7 definitely the new 7 black is my top favorite right now
it's very very good Ravin don't you think sports cans are
overpriced specially GoPro I do think GoPro buffers in a little bit of extra
margin on there especially since the Yi and a few others are really able to
undercut it and definitely shop it around if you're not being the
name-brand GoPro best of the best there's a lot of good options out there
yanny swannie hey i was just wearing if you're doing a giveaway soon maybe your
phone a phone giveaway would be awesome I don't get a ton of those around but
maybe in the future the larger we grow I'd love to be able to do some phone
giveaways alright that's it for Instagram jumping to my YouTube
community tab we got 15 comments here Romesh from which country do you have hi
subscribers let's jump into my analytics and double-check my top country for
subscribers is United States and then India in second place shout-out to you
guys from India Peter says if on a budget would you buy an action camera
like a Yi 4k or go kam core okay so definitely the Yi that's an
action camera you're gonna have infinity focus it's ultra wide-angle I wouldn't
be doing any zoom on that zahid asked what's your favorite rideable I have a
lot and I'm always changing and going through them I'm really liking my
kingsong electric unicycle right now and then also my cycle board but stay tuned
they have a rover off-roading front and rear suspension model coming soon
hopefully I'll be getting my hands on that very very soon what is your
favorite iphone what's your favorite Samsung phone what's your favorite phone
eden's life I'm currently rocking the iPhone 10 as
don't tell anyone but I'm really looking forward to that Samsung s10 hopefully
dropping in the next month or two Rocketman asks what camera do you film
on and how do you edit your videos maybe an idea for a future video then be
awesome I'm using the sony ftra x100 right now I edit everything on my iMac
5k in Final Cut Pro and then yes if there's enough interest out there I'd
love to do a behind the scenes workflow editing sort of video down the road
Ashley David are you aware of the new drones coming out with different company
I don't know of anything new coming out and if I did usually they make you sign
an NDA so you're now really allowed to talk about it
wheel adventures which phone do you like I'm actually switched back to the iPhone
10 as just because that camera that HDR 4k 60 it looks so good the autofocus and
colors just straight on a camera it works really well for some my quick and
dirty b-roll shots Sokka when will you restart reviewing RC toys especially
cars I am gonna try to get back into some of those RC cars and those fun toys
like that so make sure you stay tuned and I'll try to ask for giveaways when I
can't SAR what do you like to do other than making YouTube videos I really like
spikeball but haven't played in a while I love to grab a scooter and go ride
down at the lake or downtown and I like to play a little bit of video games when
I can at Rainbow six siege on PC is my current favorite and number two please
make video on Osmo pocket again I love to I'd love to compare it to the GoPro
and other cameras I'm just waiting for them to maybe send me one dutch drone do
you travel a lot and with what drones are you making shots
I actually don't travel very much I like to stay home with the family
and it actually depends on which drone I use depending on the shot the scenario
location all that stuff Nick downer asks which of all your
scooters do you ride the most again I'm really liking that electric unicycle and
the cycle board okay and that's it with Q&A episode three again thank you all
for sending in your questions thank you thank you
now last big update channel memberships are coming soon very very soon I'm in
the works actually with YouTube of releasing on the beta program of
multiple tiers in channel memberships it's very cool so just like patreon you
can get access to exclusive perks for small monthly donations I'm trying to
create a few small low end tiers so it's just a couple bucks a month if you
really appreciate what I'm doing and want to see more videos and then also
hopefully a few higher end tiers for some really cool exclusive perks so stay
tuned for that that should be coming very soon I should make a whole
different video when that launches and if you have any suggestions or requests
leave them down in the comments for those memberships I'm thinking about
community updates extra maybe behind the scenes videos or live streams maybe a
live Q&A chat maybe even some promo discount codes for certain products let
me know what your thoughts are down in the comments massive massive thanks to
