I think fans of this channel are really here for you and love the vlogs. And especially appreciate the casual nature in which they are presented. Aside from that, you’re looking great. Hopefully the home renovations and coffee shop hasn’t taken a toll on you.
Both channels complete each other, I love it. Gene Nagata's channel shows more of the man behind the tech reviews and that also makes me always choose Potato Jet's channel to watch the latest tech reviews.
This vlog, as a matter of fact- none of your vlogs are ever boring. A creator documenting his life and how he does things other than creating is very insightful. Like look you left us with an app, as well as a personal project recommendation. I think that’s entertaining and valuable. Thanks!
I just assume the upload schedule is at the mercy of your friends and family, as it should be, and that your main channel requires a lot more upkeep than this channel. "Rambling about nonsense" is relatable and enjoyable for some of us, so it's always awesome when a video shows up.
It’s everytime nice to hang out with you here, like these BTS glimpses and drone action as well Keep it up as you like, its for sure fun to watch. Cheers mate from Germany
Hey Gene, Oct 7 was my birthday. I'll join the 1-second-everyday challenge! One thing I learned in the past year is that your perception of what's important at work changes constantly. So the actual product doesn't matter as much as your own learning and documenting and sharing so others can benefit too.
I like watching this channel. You have a lot of good insight you don't cover on your main channel. This video's takeaway is one second of video every day. That is worth trying.
Honestly, vlogging about anything would interesting. Something the pups are doing, or you found something super interesting and want to show it, the updates on the house, doesn't have to be about anything, the 1 second a day could definitely be great! Then gradually go into 2 seconds, 30 seconds, etc. I don't think it has to be this most extravagant thing. At least its what I was told. I thought I was boring, which I feel I still am, but some people actually enjoy watching some aspects of my life when I uploaded. Also at the same time. I feel like you do 100x more than I do anyways. So, I think your life is super interesting, could be about a shoot, BTS on a shoot of yours for a video, bloopers from the Potato Jet channel. You can do a lot, and creativity is never and should never be limited! I think you have the potential to be creative in anyway possible. I was just thinking about you the other day, hadn't really seen a video from you in a very long time, except for talking about Tech on the Potato Jet Channel, and showing the bathroom of the house. Last time I remember a video was when you had that major leak. How did that work out? I remember a lot needed to come up and redone. Can't wait to see another video!
Welcome back Gene. This channel is actually better than the “main” channel for all the reasons you mentioned. Looking forward to the next vlog. Whenever 😊
I think I am of the controversial opinion that FPV drone videos might be better in 60FPS. I generally feel that 60FPS is only good for gaming videos, practical recordings (e.g. dashcams, security, evidence), and for slowing footage to 2.5x slow motion, and anything you want to look good and cinematic should stay in 24FPS with an 180° shutter. And I even think that is true with big, slow, cinematic drone shots. But FPV... it just moves so fast, that 24FPS feels a little choppy and even a touch disorienting. Unlike in most cases, I think those extra frames could actually contain some useful information, seeing that the image is changing so quickly. This isn't a complaint. Just a fun discussion, likely only with myself. It's something I sort of just realized for myself.
Hi Gene..yeah I feel you, sometimes I don't feel like doing the things I'm " Supposed to do" vlogging definitely helps me. Can't wait to see more crazy vlogs here!!! salud!
Hahaha so you wanna focus on 'one thing', or maybe a few 'one things'. You're ADHD, dude; it doesn't go that way. "Comment in the comments about what you want, I read them"... Yeah, no replies yet and I've commented quite a bit. Here's the deal, IMHO... You are a superior YT provider. I've been watching you for a long time and am always happy with your content... ALWAYS! Your delivery is great, even for those of us not inflicted with ADHD, as it always runs fast and touches a bunch of bases. Gene, you aim to please and it's obvious. So what if you run off on a tangent; your viewers, I believe, know you for who you are and like you for that. My wife is severely ADHD (meds forever and still not to her satisfaction a "normal" person in her own eyes) yet she is superior to so many in so many ways, but given the ADHD mindset is always questioning her validity. It's really sad to see that. You're so valid. You're so on-point. Self-assessment is one of the dreaded pitfalls of the ADHD mind, but it usually makes for a more well-rounded person because of the very thing that most ADHD sufferers think is their biggest fault; an OCD outlook on life. Without considering the other issues, like hyperload input from the world around you and the wish to 'conform', there are other things to consider, like the fact that you're considerate. So rare these days. Downloaded the Habit Tracker app... we'll see if it enhances my life. Thanks, Gene, for all the time you spend trying to make out lives better in whatever space you try to do so. You're a standard destination in my YT world, and I appreciate your input. You should be aware of that more.
Still blows my mind how you’re able to talk to the camera and fly the FPV 😂 I always have half finished sentences and like 90% silence 😂 I guess you could say too much focus
What are you working on? In 2020 when you vlogged every day it was a journey for us the viewers who joined to you. After the ADHD medication you actually post much less in both channels. Im glad you are feeling better but im also sad about less Potato in in my Gene.
3x channels.... I thought in a past vlog when peeps were deciding to come out of this caves or remain in lockdown mode, you mentioned you were going to develop a top / supersecret channel. Curious, what happened to this? Your Cafe / Studio? etc
Let me just throw this out there for you to ponder... Your channel has 75,800 subscribers. Yes, that's smaller than your other channel, but that's still considered a good size channel. So perhaps what you should do is hire someone to film you in your daily life and then have someone else edit it... or even pay a 3rd party service to edit the video. Having the videos sponsored could easily pay for this. Just a thought.
We miss you, too, Gene. These were always my favorite videos of yours, and definitely not because they usually included Kari. :) Seriously tho, I hope all is well and we do miss you.
I think most creative people feel weird to post videos that they feel are too simple. But that's why I subscribed here. Not looking for fancy edits or the best quality etc. More here just because you're a cool person. You could vlog on your phone and I'd still watch.
Hey bud the main channel is like class or the office for us we go there to learn from you or be productive with you. This Channel is for the ones o like to hang out with you after work/class. We meet at the coffee shop, at home, hang out with you and the “family” and we love to see you all and “talk” about you are up to. New dishwasher here and new camera main, travel sponsored by Insta the main, motorcycle ride with the crew here and DGI Fpv main…
the rambling nonsense is what I like about this channel more than potatojet. You just start talking about whatever excites you, and that's interesting to listen to.
The most important one is definitely that life can be super short sometimes after experience my first heart attack with 20 years of age this last march and u need to enjoy the hustle and only do onething after the other and also once in the while stop somewhere and enjoy the view or just urself. Stay safe out there guys and a loot of love from Switzerland
We love the vlogs. For me I started to vlog almost every day to document my journey to become full-time on RUclips and I aim to make them under a minute and I film it on my phone edit in capcut and narrate to post as shorts. It’s been really cool even if it’s just for me and no one else. It makes me feel a sense of accomplishment and be able to see my progress in the bigger picture. So I think as long as you find a reason to vlog it will become a part of your day, it’s helped me a ton. I love your vlogs however and whenever you post, we subbed for you and are here for the burps and all 😂
I'd go back and tell myself to not spread myself too thin. I took on so many ideas this past year that I wasn't able to dedicate enough time to any one thing and thus I made no progress towards any of my goals.
Hey Gene, one year ago I was freaking out about the prospect of becoming a dad. Now, after watching your vid, I just regret not having documented that wonderful journey by filming one seconde a day until now... Great inspiration, I'll try to do that from now on in between two diapers change 😅
I think fans of this channel are really here for you and love the vlogs. And especially appreciate the casual nature in which they are presented. Aside from that, you’re looking great. Hopefully the home renovations and coffee shop hasn’t taken a toll on you.
This! While the views of the Tech are awesome! It's also nice to see a chilled out Potato. lol.
100% true
Both channels complete each other, I love it. Gene Nagata's channel shows more of the man behind the tech reviews and that also makes me always choose Potato Jet's channel to watch the latest tech reviews.
These past few days I have been checking your channel Gene, I miss your content so much🥹
Very glad to see new vlogs on this channel! I also make every day a video of 3-5 seconds, since 2016! 😁
This vlog, as a matter of fact- none of your vlogs are ever boring. A creator documenting his life and how he does things other than creating is very insightful. Like look you left us with an app, as well as a personal project recommendation. I think that’s entertaining and valuable. Thanks!
vlogging is back. Gary vee, Jon olson, casey, gene, daniel jevaux
I just assume the upload schedule is at the mercy of your friends and family, as it should be, and that your main channel requires a lot more upkeep than this channel. "Rambling about nonsense" is relatable and enjoyable for some of us, so it's always awesome when a video shows up.

Heyyy happy birthday to you as welll 😊⭐
Wow that’s my birthday also
Good to see you man, I’ve missed you
geeeezus Gene. Have you lost weight?
Bro I’m relating to so much of this rn
We are looking for someone to solder!!! 📣 😉
Yessss!!! Your back
I was waiting for a new vlog!
I like watching this channel. You have a lot of good insight you don't cover on your main channel. This video's takeaway is one second of video every day. That is worth trying.
Missed your channel post
It was Spiderman's Uncle!..... How could you forget Uncle Ben. For shame lol
PLEASE... Continue to ramble about nonsense!!!! It's what we live for here!!!
Random question for you that probably won't be answered but where is this road I have been looking for something like this.
My channel is dying 😢I’m focusing to run my own restaurant

Correction: that's what Spider-man UNCLE said. Goodness Gene...
One second a day. I love that. I'm gonna build on that. Thank you. 🙏❤✊
enjoy your rambles, I get the FPV addiction...
I love the sec every day thing...
Dude you look great! I like this channel just as much as potatojet - whatever you and the crew do it’s good times haha.
Can you pin the app for one second everyday I'm going to do the next year one second every day just give me a pin comment with the link to the app
Gene holy crap you’re looking good! Bro I miss you.
How am I just now finding out about this channel?!
"I have been so insanely obsessed with FPV lately.."
"I'm into soldering"
[cue evil laugh] YES!! COME JOIN US, GENE!!!!
Letss gooooooooo I'm outta depression finally a new video 🙆♂️
Wow
I never knew I needed this till I watched this.
Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
Yo lets get together and fly sometime! Looks like you are near me in San Diego.
vlogging is tough. Is your coffee shop open yet?
Rambling nonsense is 99% of RUclips.
We missed you, keep vlogging whatever you want we’ll still see it.
You should check out Kihara Chris channel for fpv!
hmm do I get retro mod console parts to send Gene to get soldered together?
Hey I like your videos. ! Where do like to fly FPV I recognize where you fly but Im always scared of loosing signal.
we're just here to vibe with you. whatever you're up to we like watching it. 🤷🏽♂️ imo
I’m glad you posted. I miss watching your stuff. Keep it up.

You left us Gene....
Dude, you lost weight. Looking good. Love both your channels

i watched whole Video, this channel rocks
all best from South Wales
3x channels.... I thought in a past vlog when peeps were deciding to come out of this caves or remain in lockdown mode, you mentioned you were going to develop a top / supersecret channel. Curious, what happened to this? Your Cafe / Studio? etc
"today is october 7th. let's see how long we can keep our streak going" fast forward to summer 2023 "hey guys, i haven't been posting a lot here"
Let me just throw this out there for you to ponder...
Your channel has 75,800 subscribers. Yes, that's smaller than your other channel, but that's still considered a good size channel. So perhaps what you should do is hire someone to film you in your daily life and then have someone else edit it... or even pay a 3rd party service to edit the video.

Next time you're in Northern Ireland come fly with us.
Video Idea: DJI Mini Se Review/Comparison
We miss you, too, Gene. These were always my favorite videos of yours, and definitely not because they usually included Kari. :) Seriously tho, I hope all is well and we do miss you.
I love just watching your daily life.
I think the vlog channel is more interesting than the main channel. It’s more authentic.
I think most creative people feel weird to post videos that they feel are too simple. But that's why I subscribed here. Not looking for fancy edits or the best quality etc. More here just because you're a cool person. You could vlog on your phone and I'd still watch.
Hey bud the main channel is like class or the office for us we go there to learn from you or be productive with you.
This Channel is for the ones o like to hang out with you after work/class. We meet at the coffee shop, at home, hang out with you and the “family” and we love to see you all and “talk” about you are up to. New dishwasher here and new camera main, travel sponsored by Insta the main, motorcycle ride with the crew here and DGI Fpv main…
Dylan usually having a big role makes this channel must see. No offense. Lol
How is the house renovation coming?
We kinda paused ours since we're taking a long trip to Cali soon. Cheers from Sweden!
Yes! A new vlog!!! Let’s goooo!!! 🎉😊
If I recorded 1 second everyday, it'd be my screen during 6 minutes. Having a 9 to 5 is awful.
Glad to have you back, Gene! I was kinda hoping for some Bali vlogs on this channel at some point. 😁
Keep doing what you love and sometimes remember about us and upload a video 😉
I got as excited to see an upload from Gene on this channel as I did with the recent Casey Neistat uploads. We enjoy the vlogs Gene.
So today we’re gonna talk about focus… oh hey bird! 🥰
1 sec a day sounds like a fun experiment to bring back.
This channel is literally Gene chats for me. Just feels like were hanging out.
the rambling nonsense is what I like about this channel more than potatojet. You just start talking about whatever excites you, and that's interesting to listen to.
I've found with the one second a day project, it's good to include the bad stuff too or else the whole thing ends up looking fake.
Love these videos of you just talking. I dont mind even more fpv stuff.
If I filmed one second everyday, it would just be the same thing every single day 😭
Focus. Rings of power makes me think I can make movies too.
The most important one is definitely that life can be super short sometimes after experience my first heart attack with 20 years of age this last march and u need to enjoy the hustle and only do onething after the other and also once in the while stop somewhere and enjoy the view or just urself. Stay safe out there guys and a loot of love from Switzerland

One of the only vlog channels I actually watch, glad to see you want to get back into it!
I'd go back and tell myself to not spread myself too thin. I took on so many ideas this past year that I wasn't able to dedicate enough time to any one thing and thus I made no progress towards any of my goals.
Hey Gene, one year ago I was freaking out about the prospect of becoming a dad. Now, after watching your vid, I just regret not having documented that wonderful journey by filming one seconde a day until now... Great inspiration, I'll try to do that from now on in between two diapers change 😅
I have a cinelifter to solder in europe intrested :p, i love youre vlog's and video's
You can shoot video on iPhone 4 and post here I don't care, its a chill channel, I like it here.

Spidermans DAD, Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Therapeutic… good to see you back 😊
Yay! We love your vlogs!!!❤
My advice for me last year > Break up!!

Gene how do you edit your audio, it’s very clean and sounds good. Can you do a video on it
Glad fpv is in your dna now 😊
This channel is more interesting
This chanel > potato jet chanel
Have you tried doing a short?

The drone craze is getting old.
Looking good Gene. Keep it up my guy
Go for once a week my guy! We miss seeing you.
I enjoy potatoes.
HUGE FAN OF YOU!!!!
Woohoo! Vlogs are back baby!
We are each other's therapist here
