    How in the world can you bang out so many of these videos. Seriously, it is very impressive. Hard for us to manage an edit or two a month for our ski travels and here you are able to get out one a day. I bet you have a segment on that.

    Do NOT cover your lamps. You can set everything on fire. The lamp needs to vent off the heat.
    Besides that. A lot of great tips.

    • @SpregioCheeks
      @SpregioCheeks 6 лет назад +6

      Those aperture lights stay super cool. Got a beast of a heat sink. But he should specify that in case someone throws a random blanket on an old school bulb.

    • @ChrisChronos

      In between the lamp and the acoustic blanket, put a fire blanket! problem solved 😂

I'm just excited through the video to see what funny or buttery shot you're going to put at the end. Thank again Peter.

  • @melaniemakayla
    @melaniemakayla 6 лет назад +1

    1. Duck clamps - to hold back things and mounting gear
    2. Soft reusable cable ties - organise things
    3. Duct tape - taping cables down - tape gopro to wall & shoe etc
    4. Cap case - body cap nestled with a lens cap to keep sd cards and small things safe
    5.Grip Head - tons of mounting option to mount boom mic or foam cord etc very handy
    6. Accoustic blanket - throw the blanket over a somthing making too much noise or block light out from and exit sign etc
    7. Friction arm - clam the friction am anywhere and clamp camera or monitor and configure them like lego
    just watch the video its short and easy to watch

    • @jagmeetsingh7949
      @jagmeetsingh7949 6 лет назад

    Excellent video Peter! Thanks man for taking the time to make this. One, I never knew duck clamps were called that (or that they had a hole in them - the smaller ones don't - at least the one I bought down here in Brazil doesn't). Two, the lens cap/camera cap trick is awesome. It cleaned up my desktop from stray SD cards and adapters from cluttering up the place. Take care and God bless.

    These are a good bit cheaper than the red table ties you used, can be found at most stores that sell tools or camping materials, and have a variety of sizes! They are most commonly referred to as ball bungees/tarp ball bungee cords. 25 for $8 on Amazon! Super cheap at Wal-Mart too if needed same day!
