Hey hey, I just wanted to bring information to you about amazon and suggest not to condone shopping through them as they have been supporting and participating in the genocide of palestine along with a multitude of other ethical issues.. and since litterally proof of them beheading babies.. supporting anything that goes to Israel is definitely complicite.

@@NeostheticProduction 99% of this stuff is from China... what does that say about morals and cheap gear?
The cheapest gear in 2024 is better than the best gear in 1980 when most of our favorite films of all time were made. Let that sink in. We don't need better gear, we need better ideas.
Just came from your latest upload (it's around 36mins) and you thanked us for sitting there and watching a video you mde for that long when in fact I'm grateful that there are creatives such as yourself who take the time to create authentic 30+ mins long for us! SO THANK YOU!
I'm a filmmaking student, and dude, you inspired me to do a lot more effort on my work. Thanks a lot, u gained a new subscriber! That fog machine is wild. Keep the good work! 🙌❤
I’m a Production Assistant/behind the scenes. I got a black magic 6K pro RS three gimbal and I’ve only got these two lenses. I got a 50 mm I got a 70 to 200 mm then I got 18 to 280 mm. I want to fill myself with it. I like your slider. It’s pretty dope. I want to create content like that’s not just for myself but for other people.
I was just wailing to myself, "The FOGGER shall be Mine!" I live in a forest, which is just made for cinematography! Getting out at dawn-ish with that little nipper would make for some very cool, moody shots. I don't do waiting good. I'm only...yes, yes, I was right!--Three weeks until payday. Pish.
It was overkill, and just shows that the poster of this video, has no idea how to light a scene, or use “smoke”. It looks like cheap television on steroids minus the lighting. The particulates of these Halloween (glycerin and water based) foggers are way too thick, don’t hang the same and don’t look as great on camera as traditional haze. And you should definitely never use this much of it. From a professional standpoint, it looks incredibly cheap and lazy. You can buy a cheap stick of incense for a nickel, and waft that around a room and achieve a much better look. It’s a wonder why not a single RUclips “budget filmmaker” ever talks about these things…could it be they are just pushing crap their sponsors want you to buy? 🤔 But if you insist on having a fog machine, they cost $30 off the shelf. This look should be subtle and only used on certain occasions to add depth to a space. And if you’re looking for a dramatic effect from it, like a mist rolling across the ground or something, you’re looking in the wrong part of RUclips for ideas. It’s wild to me to see so many people thinking that thick fog looks cinematic or dramatic, because it’s a trend with RUclipsrs. You really want to look like everyone else? Or is it just another toy you’ll never use?
@@CaptainMyCaptain33 Those that pee on others most times got peed on first and are bitter, would have been my grandma's opinion. I could only add, get a life; there are lots of lives to choose from.
It’s crazy that I thought everything in this video would’ve been thousands of dollars. & the portable fog/haze machine is a must. Gotta add that to my cart.
Great video, so many of us have tight budgets and I really appreciate you testing these budget items so it takes some of the risk out of budget purchases. Thank you!
I just wanted to let you know that I have started my journey into filmmaking. I plan to purchase as much as possible from your list, and I want to thank you for inspiring me to get started. I will be documenting my learning process from November 2024 to August 2025, during which I plan to compete in a competition. Although I have already purchased my classes from Udemy, I wish I had kept my Skillshare account after watching your video two months ago. Your video about your car breaking down, along with all the other challenges you've faced with kids in the background, made me realize that I can do this too. I will dedicate my time from 4 AM to 7 AM and from 6 PM to 9 PM to learning this craft and getting back into shape. Thank you, brother. I wish you lived in Chicago so I could work with you! I'm going make you proud. lol
I have the long slider from GVM.... Just so happen that they moved into the warehouse next to my old job here in Philly.... Walked next door, told the warehouse worker I ordered a slider from GVM. He told me to cancel the order and he let me buy for $99
Struggling to use the entry level canon r50 and kit lens for cinematic shots, seeming very difficult. Anyway I love your contents, I pray I save more to get these items listed.
Concerning mounting the slider on the tripod, one can get a tripod head with a quick release plate it makes life very easy, screwing the slider on the tripod can wear out the screw quickly.
before watching your videos i was thinking hard about letting go of something i know im passionate about and ive been working extra hard to get the proper gear now im kinda feeling motivated
Man. Bag alone is good to go. Being a guy that carry’s a lot on him, and doesn’t want to look as if I’m carrying anything this would help keep me from being crazy noticeable while carrying my camera gear. The lens is dope, and would be great to add to anyones collection, and that smoke machine adds so much character that it’s a no brainer.
Concur. I've been using Kroger reusable grocery bags. It's not the look I am trying to put together. I already look like a dirty hippie as it is. Showing up in a twenty-year-old station wagon, real worn Levis, not worn out by some Chinese line worker scrubbing in worn out spots---for a price. Everything I own is baggy so the fashion decision I make is wearing what I find closest to me that I can get over my head. White sox with clogs carrying three bags of what appears to be all of my worldly goods in grocery bags. New clients think that giving me Any Money up front was a serious mistake. Who are they going to get to fix my drug induced footage? So, yeah. I make sure I'm fast and can slap together work fast and perfect. This is not the moment for them to know that everything they thought before about my unprofessionalism, was spot-on correct. And Absolutely, I had the advance spent by dinnertime that night. Forty dollars a bag for something that would make me look like I am just arty, would be a wise investment.🤫
The fog machine is really nice, it reminds me of the Smoke S Fog machine, with similar features. Cheap portable monitors have become really usable in the last year and this one is a perfect example.
I've ben there and bought the T-Shirt with sliders, gimbals, GoPros, Camera cages, etc etc, In the end I have a decent camera (Panasonic S5ii and 50mm f1.8 lens) A half cage so I can put on a top handle and mount a wireless mic receiver. A good HEAVY tripod, And a mic in a blimp on a boom pole. Connected to the camera wirelessly. That's pretty much it. When I separated out everything I wasn't using that's all was left.
I use the zeapon micro 2 camera slider that has a motorized pan tilt that works with an app that you can program every bit of movement and it’s nice and small but well made. I’ll send them. I think I paid a little over $600. But I’ve used that atmosphere haze working with some volleyball players and the one girl slipped on the floor because that atmosphere haze leaves a serious film on top of the floor that makes it like ice. So I switch to a fog machine that I could use either quit dispersing fog or long lasting fog. But that haze machine that you just showed looks like, it’s a great investment. Thanks for sharing.
Damn. I really like Your journey from RUclips to stable work. It is inspiring. I do notice Your face looks calm on record now. It sucks that You don't have someone, You can just talk about YT and how hard it can be sometimes.
I put the fog machine in my cart. But the sling bag demo cracked me up! Its like the clown car of camera bags! You kept pulling out gear like it was a bottomless pit. Always enjoy your videos.
I just bought the Viltrox monitor for my BMPCC 6K Pro and there's a huge difference between what the monitor displays and what the camera screen shows, it's way more contrasty. I only use it for framing really, so it's all good. The focus peaking seems slightly off vs the camera as well. It might just be my model to be fair as all I hear are good things about it (hence the purchase). Everything else with it is top notch.
There’s definitely a few things here that I plan on jumping on. Thanks. I’d like to make a recommendation. Neewer has a remote 3 wheel camera dolly for under $80. I’d recommend adding a ball head, but it’s still a bargain. It can work track or trackless and is amazingly versatile and steady.
6:20 the phenomenon you are describing there, the fact that repeating a word over and over again makes it loose its meaning, has a visual pendant as well. Its called Gestaltzerfall, or shape decomposition in english and its one of the most fascinating psychological issues plaging humans. Its the loss of conceptual categories as a filter method for our brains heuristic systems to organize the disjointed information of reality into a perception we can actually use
I am a budget shoper and especially for one off items, if we dont use them often a lot of times so keeping it cheap is best. I want a macro rail more than a slider, I would like a slider but with 8K filming I feel like I can do most of the effect just in post. Got some cheap mist filters I like them mostly for night time shots with neons and stuff, but they can also help smooth skin for portraits. I actually just got I think the exact same fog machine but cheaper and a different brand (have not tested it yet) I was using a halloween fog machine before and its really hard to use in a controlled fashion. Also Pro Tip: you can make your own fog juice super cheap and it works BETTER than the stuff you can buy. Just got a cheap monitor for my camera not long ago too, and bags lol its so strange that I got almost everyting you have in this video. I need to chill though, I am starting to look like a horder with so much stuff everywhere.
This is a really, really nice idea for a channel. By the way, things you can count are "fewer" stuff you can't count is less. Not important unless you're talking about less money and fewer dollars. That device is NOT a fog machine, it is a smoke machine. Fog hangs low and smoke goes everywhere. They are two different effects and I am working on a little video on making a fog chiller for your little smoke machine so that you get a love hangin fog, not a fill-the-room smoke or haze.
You came in clutch with this video man and you got a new subscriber. First time watching any of your videos. Stuff like this is SO HELPFUL for those of us who are trying to make shit happen with no money, so thank you!
Hi @ the 15:30 mark in the video could tell us which tripod you are using? I like the fact it appears to go quite high. I am tall and trying to find a really good tall tripod has not been easy. The only piece of gear you I might consider is fog machine I figure I can buy my own and there are peeps her that could use it more than me. From time to time I tune into your video since I quite like your content, it is DOPE so keep up the good work my man. The monitor is also cool, that is spoken for so I will peace out. Thanks!!!
Definitely grabbing the portable fogger. I've been looking for a good one. On top of that, I have the GVM slider and used it in my short film. The shot I used the slider in was the topic of discussion considering I shot the film completely solo. Everyone wanted to know how I shot that scene. Now Im thinking perhaps i should use my slider more often, especially for my vlogs.
Seriously appreciate what you’re doing on the regular it’s helped me learn what I want to do with film making and video production. That camera slider would be big help .
I had that slider and I thought it was great... for the price. I didn't find it to be all that loud, certainly nothing some clarity vx or Resolve isolation can't easily knock out. There were 3 things in particular I didn't like about it. One is that the pan adjustment rod bends so it's hard to get a linear pan. They should have used a rigid aluminum bar. Two is that the control unit (which I believe has been redesigned) was just bad. It was harder to program than it should have been and what's worse is it didn't automatically stop the slider at the end of the rails so it would often keep trying to go when it hit the hard stops, surely burning the motor. Finally, the path isn't perfectly repeatable. By that I mean that each pass is slightly different such that it can't be used for creating a motion clean plate. This is moot if it's just shooting with motion. But compared to a $2,500 Rhino, this is a no brainer.
The fogger is basically a beefed up vape. Probably is using a coil or ceramic coil inside to rapidly heat up some Vg/PG mixture (which is typically what all fog machines use). Pretty neat to see though. I have used my vape in the past in a pinch for smoke effects and it works well.
The slider looks dope but that portable fog maker is the bees knees! I could see myself using that often. I shoot music videos and edm shows, interviews, portraits, etc. I’ve got no socials so can’t win; but I like your videos and just wanted to give props!
@Galliun Gamer What up my man, first video that I have found of you and it’s super awesome. Me and my 2 friends love to make short films and are recently getting into it more. I bout my fist camera the ZV-E10 and a Tamron 17-70 zoom lenses for it. I just ordered some new gear today and can’t wait for it to come in. Defiantly subscribing and coming back to see what gear I can get for cheap!!
Man bro has been dropping so much quality content for so long and now he's giving us gear hahaha. Would love that portable fog machine for my filmmaking!
I always wanted a slider like that but when I got close to that noise I had to nope the heck outta there, but THAT fog machine is cool! So great! And the bag man! Wo, thanks for showing all this!
I'm grabbing that Viltrox monitor. I actually hate using external monitors, but recently I did a small film where I just couldn't see anything outside, so I decided to break down and grab one. This one looks awesome, I'm going to find it. Thanks for sharing.
Hey im a young filmmaker looking into some gear for my projects! I really love your content and just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you do for your fan base!
Awesome channel and thank you for giving your honest reviews. Crazy, I never really thought about a slider until you made it make sense. Keep creating and thank you for keeping to your true self with your messages.
I’m a photographer that is starting to lean into the video side of things. I have both the Viltrox pro and lite in my Amazon cart. Just haven’t pulled the trigger yet
I do a ton of commercials and would love to have the fog machine and motorized slider that you reviewed. I have been using a manual slider and haze in a can for a long time, and I hate the stickiness of the haze in a can.
I am liking your filmography style and you can tell that you know what you are doing, I like the price of the camera slide unit and I am surprised at the low cost as I have history in selling the component parts that these slides are constructed from. I do a bit of filming work but work to the idea of keeping it simple,so I use an iPhone with a mount that allows it to be fixed to several sizes of tripods and has a hot shoe mount for a shotgun microphone and I get great results and feedback.
I too tried the KF filter due to the low price, but i felt like it never gave me the same look/feel the Tiffen black pro mist did...so i went back to the black pro mist.
Thank you for uploading this! I am always looking for affordable gear that can help me advance my filmmaking skills. I’m bummed about the price of the slider not being available for $179 anymore.
If one of you is on the market for a monitor, the viltrox is an excellent+++ monitor, just buy the pro version, it's 1200+ nits, the regular one is 1200, both with integrated cooling fan, and the lite is only 800, very good quality, awesome screen, sun sun shade and carrying box included, very cool tools, battery included. I bought thee pro version for the price of the lite one.
I need that slide. Dang it's loud. is this one quieter? GVM Motorized Camera Slider, 47" Carbon Fiber Dolly Rail Camera Slider with Remote Controller, Time Lapse
That Viltrox monitor looks very good and seems very responsive to inputs which is nice. I have a Viltrox panel light which I think uses the same battery which is nice too. Great vid!

Actually I just found a few of that brand that are the same size on Amazon for that $179 price.

not true.
1. that stuff back than was still much better, extremely expensive, but better
2. best movies were made 90s and early 2000s
Last I checked I can't afford a full size dinosaur animatronic. One day hopefully.
Well said
Love this comment!
It's also that those filmmakers were professionally trained in schools , whereas most of us are not that
That portable haze machine is pretty cool.
fogger is the game changer! having a portable fogger in tight spaces and not wanting to waste time on waiting for a big fog machine!

Finally, the path isn't perfectly repeatable. By that I mean that each pass is slightly different such that it can't be used for creating a motion clean plate. This is moot if it's just shooting with motion. But compared to a $2,500 Rhino, this is a no brainer.
This was really well done! I can tell it was a fun one, and the info is actually practical.
Love that fog machine, definitely adding that to my list
Been looking at getting a portable fogger like the one in your video for a while. Good to actually see it in use
The fogger is basically a beefed up vape. Probably is using a coil or ceramic coil inside to rapidly heat up some Vg/PG mixture (which is typically what all fog machines use). Pretty neat to see though. I have used my vape in the past in a pinch for smoke effects and it works well.
That ending was so real. This video is so refreshing with all the drama with instan360 and sponsored videos
That fog machine is so convenient when if comes to anything visual!! That monitor for the price is actually bomb! Awesome video
The slider looks dope but that portable fog maker is the bees knees! I could see myself using that often. I shoot music videos and edm shows, interviews, portraits, etc.
I’ve got no socials so can’t win; but I like your videos and just wanted to give props!

What up my man, first video that I have found of you and it’s super awesome. Me and my 2 friends love to make short films and are recently getting into it more. I bout my fist camera the ZV-E10 and a Tamron 17-70 zoom lenses for it. I just ordered some new gear today and can’t wait for it to come in. Defiantly subscribing and coming back to see what gear I can get for cheap!!
It is sooo loud. Funny you mentioned that. Spot on review. Killer product. Loud as hail.
Man bro has been dropping so much quality content for so long and now he's giving us gear hahaha. Would love that portable fog machine for my filmmaking!
I always wanted a slider like that but when I got close to that noise I had to nope the heck outta there, but THAT fog machine is cool! So great! And the bag man! Wo, thanks for showing all this!
That fog machine has just saved me so much time searching! thanks buddy!!
That fog machine looks so good. Your content is solid. You got a new subscriber
I'm grabbing that Viltrox monitor. I actually hate using external monitors, but recently I did a small film where I just couldn't see anything outside, so I decided to break down and grab one. This one looks awesome, I'm going to find it. Thanks for sharing.
I think the more expensive GVM sliders have camera control for some cameras. I have the 4ft motorized version, it has camera control.
The stand out for me was the portable fog machine. A good buy indeed
been hoping for a budget friendly haze machine for soooo long. they're still a little pricey but better than before
The Motorized Slider makes the most sense to me right now. Looks very smooth and would add more value to the ideas I got.
Love your style man! Informative, to the point, cinematic. You’ve got a new follower!
The GVM slider is definetly clutch. I have one too. I always like watchinng these types of videos. Always gives me ideas
what keyboard is that at 1:51? it looks super sleak
Sleek
do you need to buy the special smoke fog liquid from Ulanzi everytime or can you fill the smoke machine with any smoke liquid?
What liquid uses the portable fog? Water??? Ty ❤
the fog machine combined with the mist filter are top notch
As a beginner what kind of lights or lighting could I buy that won’t break the bank and will give me good results?
Hey im a young filmmaker looking into some gear for my projects! I really love your content and just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you do for your fan base!
Awesome channel and thank you for giving your honest reviews. Crazy, I never really thought about a slider until you made it make sense. Keep creating and thank you for keeping to your true self with your messages.
Can you use the Fog machine with normal liquid for fog machines?
I’m a photographer that is starting to lean into the video side of things. I have both the Viltrox pro and lite in my Amazon cart. Just haven’t pulled the trigger yet
I do a ton of commercials and would love to have the fog machine and motorized slider that you reviewed. I have been using a manual slider and haze in a can for a long time, and I hate the stickiness of the haze in a can.
I am liking your filmography style and you can tell that you know what you are doing, I like the price of the camera slide unit and I am surprised at the low cost as I have history in selling the component parts that these slides are constructed from. I do a bit of filming work but work to the idea of keeping it simple,so I use an iPhone with a mount that allows it to be fixed to several sizes of tripods and has a hot shoe mount for a shotgun microphone and I get great results and feedback.
It's ya boy....That fog machine would have a good home with me lmao.
I too tried the KF filter due to the low price, but i felt like it never gave me the same look/feel the Tiffen black pro mist did...so i went back to the black pro mist.
Shout out to you king...all the way from Jamaica!
I'll defo check out that haze machine! I need one for my movie. Thx for showing it!
That portable haze machine is pretty cool. I wish to have it
Love my Viltrox dc550 pro- highly recommend
The portable haze machine is so gooooddd
The natural surprise at the end was golden 👌🏿
Thank you for uploading this! I am always looking for affordable gear that can help me advance my filmmaking skills. I’m bummed about the price of the slider not being available for $179 anymore.
Default machine is dope thank you for all your information. I’ve stepped my photography and cinematic game up. Thanks to a lot of your content.
What a time to be alive & into filmmaking!
Love when you do these videos , that slider and monitor are definitely on my list. Thanks for the content.
Was the light from outside for the portable fog machine artificial or natural?
Would the monitor be good for photography using the live view shooting on a Canon camera?
Instantly copped that fog machine
If one of you is on the market for a monitor, the viltrox is an excellent+++ monitor, just buy the pro version, it's 1200+ nits, the regular one is 1200, both with integrated cooling fan, and the lite is only 800, very good quality, awesome screen, sun sun shade and carrying box included, very cool tools, battery included. I bought thee pro version for the price of the lite one.
that monitor looks dope 🔥
The portable fog machine is for sure the most useful thing! Adding haze to videos instantly make shots more cinematic
Dope video!! Thanks for providing value with these affordable products.
thanks for the video! I actually quite like the K&F since it is more subtle than the Tiffen! Again thank you!!!
Bro what chair do you have?
I’m having trouble picking out a tripod for a slider like you just showed that wide one, what tripod is that? The one in front of your car?
I need that slide. Dang it's loud. is this one quieter? GVM Motorized Camera Slider, 47" Carbon Fiber Dolly Rail Camera Slider with Remote Controller, Time Lapse
I have the GVM GT-J120D and it so silent. I am wondering why yours makes so much noise like you described.
I feel the same about the bags. Hate bringing my big camera bag.
That portable fog machine is fire crazy how it works 🤯
That Viltrox monitor looks very good and seems very responsive to inputs which is nice. I have a Viltrox panel light which I think uses the same battery which is nice too. Great vid!
