- You might think that getting companies to send you items in return for a review is fun and a good idea but trust me, once the novelty wears off, it ends up like work. And it may even hurt your channel. There will be times when you enjoy it but that'll only happen when pick the right gear to review which you and your audience will enjoy. Trust me when I say this, making videos that you want to make will stand to you a lot

Your strait honesty is so so appreciated, just thank you. Always a pleasure to watch your work.
Thanks a lot for the nice comment and so good to hear that.
Thanks Hugh! You shared so many good things in this one!
Cheers Josh, trying to do more of this stuff.
@@HuFilms I'm here for it!
@@HuFilms Lots of You Tubers give the same reviews on new product and don't know how to properly review or work that new camera. We know the GH7 is great and the Z6 III is great but oh no the C400 is just ok. Watch the reviews. Even You Tubers that commented in response to your OP video are doing exactly what you say they shouldn't do.
Nice video. I have a small channel and recently have been contacted by a company who make AI gimbals and offered me a free gimbal in exchange of the review. It was very tempting as it's a first time that any brand wanted to work with me but after a serious thought, I refused the offer because first of all I don't know much about the gimbals and secondly I can't do any reviews in which everything I say is not my own.
I think in this case you should accept and review. You’ve nothing to lose really.
@@HuFilms I thought it would be not fair to the viewers to make the watch a scripted review.
I bought the sigma lens based on your review videos. I didn’t need to know the lens curvature or anything mad complicated. Just to hear the genuine thoughts of someone who uses it regularly. I love the lens and I’m thankful for the review you put out on it. Cheers Hugh! 👍🏻
Thanks a mot William, even though I went FF, I'd buy this lens again. It's a classic!
I don’t do product review but i find this video is honest and true. I bought some products and used different camera brands. You are true a good review is a product that you love to use it. The viewers will find it close to them if your product review is practical to you.
Yeah, in other words 'from the heart'. I fully agree.
This is the type of content I need at this point in my career for our wedding film business ! Subbed mate
Great to hear and good luck in business!
Love this message. I haven't been approached for reviews yet but I am sure because I am still a super small channel. I will keep these tips in mind for sure. Thank you Hugh!
Cheers Kevin, good luck with the channel.
Excellent points in there Hugh! 👌100% agreed.
Now, please make another cool horror short! 🤩
I need to badly. Just trying to find some folk who want to work with me.
@@HuFilms Ahh man, we would have so much fun together.. if only you were in Québec. I’m currently making tests for a horror short myself. I’d love to show you some stills of the look!
Great advice and thank you for sharing! I will take your points on board and try to apply them to my channel.
No probs, thanks man!
Top stuff. Integrity wins in the end.
Totally!
Hi Hugh,
Thanks for another fantastic video. Because of your review of the Pocket 3, I bought one to use for my pilgrimage. I have just finished walking just over 1,000km on the Camino Frances, Finisterre & Muxia. Brilliant camera & mic system, so very grateful for your advice. Best wishes (& Buen Camino) Gavin Ayre
Thanks Gavin, appreciate it. Yeah, the Osmo P3 is such an awesome little cam and mic. I was in that area a few weeks ago, hope you enjoyed the walk!
@@HuFilms - sure wish I’d known you were here . . . Would have been great to just have a cafe con leche with you. The Camino was one of the best things I have ever done in my life.
there is nothing wrong with giving impression and providing footage before a camera is released to the stores to give first impression , sure there is some marketing involved as company's have designed it for certain segment , but its not like reviewers must say this is the best camera on earth period or something silly like that.
many youtubers who are affiliated with brands often provide educational material ,
It's a hugely important thing for buyers. Otherwise they only get initial information from the company and stores. Yes, you obviously have to listen with some judgement that they likely have a good relationship with a company, but they also dispel a lot of the rumors going around.
I agree with you here. But lots of manufacturers send stuff out for review as their main marketing method. I’m referring to cheaper accessories than cameras such as mics and lights etc.
Always love your videos, Hugh. Just one audio suggestion. Lav mics, in general, sound really "dead" to my ears. Clear, but dead. Since you filming in such a beautiful location, why not mix in some of the ambient audio, too? Since you have the Osmo pocket 3, you can always have a second camera running and just get the audio off of that. I think it would just add another dimension to your Vlogs. Hope that helps, and look forward to your next video. Mark in Marin County, California
I actually fully agree with you and thanks for saying it, this video was a casual affair to start out with and I'm kinda tiring of the lav sound if I'm honest. Some of the closer shots to camera had nicer sound from the on cam mic but I couldn't mix it in effectively. I think I'm going to bring the Sennheiser 416 next time. Audio is everything!
@@HuFilms Yes, I noticed that too, that the audio from the onboard camera mics sounded pretty nice and more "natural." And by the way, if in your travels you ever come out to San Francisco, way out here in California, I will take you out for some good Mexican food. Or In-N-Out Burger, if you prefer. Or both!!!
Great advice
Thanks a lot!
Nice work, it's important to maintain ones ethics. Swag interferes with that process, the human animal being what it is. I did a short on ethics in photography recently - warned of pink eye for photographers using dirty 'lenses'.
Interesting, I'd like to see that.
@@HuFilms It's on my channel, you can't miss it. I only point my artists finger in the general direction...with the exception I suppose of the thumbnail which could be interpreted as a personal slight but is intended to convey the environment, not anyone person in particular.
Your videos are really good man! Which woods did you film that in?
Cheers Paul, good to hear from you. Merlin!
About the moza slypod..
Iv seen just positive reviews but i was still concerned if it would wobble because you know it SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WILL. i was getting into product videography at that time and with s probe lens ANY wobble will show. Got the product, used it for 1 min 30 sec and sent it back , it was unbearable with the probe lens. Good product, nobody mentioned this.. got an edelkrone slider instead, everytime I had any problem they helped me out instantly.
Interesting and thanks for your comment. You obviously didn’t see my review then? I must contact edelchrone and see if they’ll let me review something! 😂
@@HuFilms you should try the jin one , that is crazy good
Funny, i subscribed after one of those sigma 18-35 vids.
Anyway, good video, cheers.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it. Gonna try and get a bit more valuable content out now soon.
Well Hugh good points, but look at it that way. The benq thing may attract few as*holes like me who think that you are professional and not knowing about calibration doesn't make much of a sense to me, you've sold that BenQ monitor and you could use that money to buy something like that DJI pocket 3... Its probably worth getting few uncomfortable comments, rather than do mics for 130 sitting on your shelf 😉 I think ppl in general if they have the money should buy stuff which is interesting to them for reviews and then just sell it. If some product videos taking you a day or 2 to do, you could also get paid job and have money for things you actually want to support because you like them and see some sens in doing the review for them.
Good points man, and I agree with you. I guess it's about being selective really, isn't it? I'm definitely gonna put more thought into it from here on in. Thanks for the nice comment.
Cool video!
When you said sigma 18 to 35 i Thought this was a based Alpha male pick up channel! lolololol
But I like the channel!
Keep up the great videos!
also if you ever wanna do a collab somehow let me know!! 🇮🇪💪
Man, if I had a dime every time I thought of making those kinda vids! 😂
