Sooooo much good information! Love it my friend, thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world! And I've never done the lens cap trick holding all the cards! Stoked on that!
One thing that makes your videos stand out is your b-roll. It's simple but effective and makes the video so much more interesting when you're demonstrating what the fridge you're talking about.
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.
I think the same but I am starting to believe that whenever you do what you love, you will be even surprised how come you can be finishing everything up just my thought
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
Literally used the cap case trick on a shoot yesterday! My friends camera busted the day before we went so he swapped our SD cards out and that was the only way to keep my card safe! Saved my life, Pete.
Hey Peter. As an up and coming film maker, you give me inspiration and hope. I mostly just wanted to pop in and say thank you for being someone I can look up to and aspire to be.
You are such an amazing teacher, learning so so so much from you Peter ! thank you so much for all the knowledge you share and inspire people ! BIG THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey peter luv you man!! Just wanted to say that you have helped me with my channel a bunch and have become someone I and im sure to many other people! Thanks man!!!
hey peter ... i m requesting you to do a tutorial of video shoot and then how you post process it ... it will help us alot... and thank you for everything... keep doing this ... we love you ... yayyy ....😊😄🤘
How have i only just found this channel? i may not be a Photographer, but as i just started vlogging, the videos on this channel have been really helpful! Thank you Peter!
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.
finally someone , most lamps generate good heat depending on the power and the fans most of the time arent great or good repleacable( speaking of old bron lamps) soo be real careful with covering fans
these thing are hardly available here in India, so I will definitely gonna find 6 other things other than Lens cap :) Thank you Pete, you're a saviour :)
The leans caps come with the lenses. If you somehow don't have them you should go to your local camera market (In Delhi its in Chandani Chowk but idk where you're from) Cheers!
As always -Brilliant! I want them all! A hiker tip I now use is to wrap a couple of feet of duct tape around a hiking pole . Thus I am ready to deal with a torn tent, ripped trousers (aka pants) or even falling-to-bits boots or a leaky canoe!
Peter I just want to say I'm still loving the content and the creative way to produce your footage. But I'm absolutely loving the end scenes you are having at the end of the videos, so funny. 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.
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!
Peter, Have you ever gone out for a shoot, gone home and realised that you have bunch of footage that doesn't connect well together to tell a nice story by the time you sit down editing? Super frustrating, keeps happening to me
As a tiny RUclipsr hoping to blow up one day, I must say that you are a must watch for me. I have definitely benefited from your tutorials and suggestions. Thanks.
I am new to cameras and this amazing art of filmmaking and photography. Your videos are amazing, funny, addictive and easy to understand. Thank you sooo much
My friction arm and clamp cam in the mail yesterday! I love that I can mount my camera in tight spots now! Next up on my list is that Grip head. That's a must for a one man band like myself to hold my reflector!
There's this guy i watch on youtube, his name is Peter Mckinnon and he is the most awesome person ive ever seen. Hey peter hope you see the comment it would meen alot i really look up to you ❤️ from Curacao
Another cracking video Pete. I would love to see a video about how you prepare for a video and tips on how to come across relaxed and authentic on camera.
Hey, Mr.Peter could you do a video on showing us some of the photos that you have taken...please... and by the way, you always give great advice...Thank you
hugely helpful shopping list for basic stuff that you might not have that COULD just make your life easier AND your shooting more creative.... coool. thanks man!
Hey Pete! Just wanted to say thank you for all the videos and tips you put out there. Since discovering your channel this last month, I've literally binge watched all of your videos over the past 2 1/2 weeks. Soo good! Soooo good! Keep up the amazing work! Much love from a fellow Canuck. - Erik
Wow Peter! Amazing video, surprisingly covered quite a few things I have been curious about!! You have great insight on the videos we would like to see!
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.
Great video! Just remember to not get the gaff tape wet, it will leave residue on your cables if that happens, otherwise gaff is the greatest! Also try not to let it stick to itself, because it will not unstick from itself.
Gaff-(is it only Aussies that say gaffa??) tape!! Priceless!!! Most importantly-it tapes down those cables so people don’t trip over them on a shoot!!...it also saves your expensive equipment from falling when people trip on those pesky cables!!!!!! Invaluable, cheap and cost saving!! In more ways than one!!!!
I am pretty sure you have more then 7. Good Video I have Little Bits Of Grip stuff. The tape I have a lot of and it’s a must to have not only Multiple colors but black is the solid one for taping cords down. I got a few Clamps as well. Some times I have to tape over those. Hope to be able to work with someone like you.
i carry so much unnecessary stuff to shoots that make me look absolutely ridiculous! this video surely helped me man! thanks alot! gonna go use the link to buy those friction arms and an acoustic blanket
Informative yet still entertaining. Energetic but not annoying. And... AND, a "host" 😉 of other superb qualities. Keep at it Peter. 👍🏼 ~ Melody and Vincent
There are special wallets to hold SD Cards (up to 6 or 8 SD cards), but I really liked the body cap case idea! Because it was innovate and haven't really heard about it before. Rest of the video was typical film grip stuff, but it was nice to be reminded.
Sooooo much good information! Love it my friend, thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world! And I've never done the lens cap trick holding all the cards! Stoked on that!
Thanks, bud! Everyone needs to go check out Devin's channel immediately. He is Yoda with a camera.
devinsupertramp Ihr zwei seid schon sehr korrekte Typen 👌
haben die jetzt auch sicher verstanden was du geschrieben hast haha
Peter McKinnon What happened to "whats up peter mckinnon here"????
devinsupertramp omg my favorite youtubers together xd
They asked what film school I am currently attending, I told them that I attend 'Peter McKinnon's College of the Film Arts"
LOLOL I am going to heart this comment.
Ken Dumnodi Same, man!
I attend that too :)
Yeaah man :D :D
LOL!
This is why you got so popular so fast! Providing everyone with genuine, high quality content that we can take into our own channels. Thank you.
I watched this while under my acoustic blanket. Sounded great. Like Dolby Digital surround sound.
*puts an acoustic blanket over a humming light*
*Blanket catches fire*
*oh great, extra light*
You should make this same series for things you need on the go for travel, vlogs, and easy access!
WAYYY ahead of you! sort of.. lol :)
And photography I think.
YES pls
"You can never go wrong with gaff tape..." *goes wrong with gaff tape*
IKR? Bwahhahaha! My thought exactly when I saw this, and that's what makes it so damn funny
as a grip.. this is definitely the funniest shit I've seen today.
One thing that makes your videos stand out is your b-roll. It's simple but effective and makes the video so much more interesting when you're demonstrating what the fridge you're talking about.

Alba Adventures it's a lot harder than it looks I'll tell ya that much!
And the fact you took the time to respond to us! Smokes.. I owe you a beer or two..
I think the same but I am starting to believe that whenever you do what you love, you will be even surprised how come you can be finishing everything up just my thought
Jeez, this is super helpful. Others have mentioned it, but the lens cap trick is a total game changer! The audio blanket tent is also pretty nifty.
I allways get so excited when u upload! your videos are so fascinating and incredibly use full. Thankyou

•Liked before the video starts.
•Comments this.
•Enjoys the beautiful content.
I've heard about those blankets! It's so nice to see creative people using creative accessories on set.
Dude your video quality is ALWAYS on point!!
Gaff Tape and Grip Heads/c stands are HUGE. They help so so much when you are lighting and with everything else
Who hits like even before watching? This guy! Do you? 👍🏻 Keep on creating brother!!
Thanks!
I always do. Just in case I forget at the end. Peter deserves all the likes he should get.
WOAH. I don't know why I reacted so much to this but the fact that lens caps and body caps fit together is soooo satisfying. Great tip!
This has to be one of my favourite channels on RUclips.... your a likeable dude
Gaff tape is literally the first thing I plan for and pack - after my camera and lenses. It's magic!
I'm not even a filmmaker and I'm watching this.
Haha! Thats what I like to see!
Literally used the cap case trick on a shoot yesterday! My friends camera busted the day before we went so he swapped our SD cards out and that was the only way to keep my card safe! Saved my life, Pete.
That lens cap one was like an epiphany moment!! 😃
Hey Peter.
As an up and coming film maker, you give me inspiration and hope. I mostly just wanted to pop in and say thank you for being someone I can look up to and aspire to be.
Approximately how many cups of coffee did you have before filming this video?
Haha 1 pot :)
He has a standard chemex, guess it's around 8 pots.
maybe he had... a HOST of cups!
Who knows.....I'd guess it's a 1 gallon pot.
i would not measure that in cups
The body cap + lens cap SD card holder thing was pure GENIUS!
your personality makes your videos man
You are such an amazing teacher, learning so so so much from you Peter !
thank you so much for all the knowledge you share and inspire people !
BIG THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey peter luv you man!! Just wanted to say that you have helped me with my channel a bunch and have become someone I and im sure to many other people! Thanks man!!!
The acoustic blanket is something I never knew about! Awesome!
Why was Cinderella thrown off the basketball team?
She ran away from the ball.
haha that's funny lol you made me laugh xD have a great day :)
I just love that attitude and confidence while you talk it makes your video Amazing
hey peter ... i m requesting you to do a tutorial of video shoot and then how you post process it ... it will help us alot... and thank you for everything... keep doing this ... we love you ... yayyy ....😊😄🤘

Bravo!! Take it from an old timer in the industry, your spot on and very generous with your knowledge. And , deliver the message with style.
"Ooooooohhh!"
-Pete McKinnon
How have i only just found this channel? i may not be a Photographer, but as i just started vlogging, the videos on this channel have been really helpful! Thank you Peter!
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.
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.
In between the lamp and the acoustic blanket, put a fire blanket! problem solved 😂
finally someone , most lamps generate good heat depending on the power and the fans most of the time arent great or good repleacable( speaking of old bron lamps) soo be real careful with covering fans
Ive been doing the lens cap trick for a while and I use it to hold all my SD cards too hhahhaha CRAZY good tips!! Thanks Peter!
these thing are hardly available here in India, so I will definitely gonna find 6 other things other than Lens cap :) Thank you Pete, you're a saviour :)
The leans caps come with the lenses. If you somehow don't have them you should go to your local camera market (In Delhi its in Chandani Chowk but idk where you're from) Cheers!
Thanks for your open heart Peter... You are giving us a lot of great information which I believe will bear a lot of fruits! God bless you my brother!
Peter can you do a video showing the details of your tattoo? 😉
As always -Brilliant! I want them all! A hiker tip I now use is to wrap a couple of feet of duct tape around a hiking pole . Thus I am ready to deal with a torn tent, ripped trousers (aka pants) or even falling-to-bits boots or a leaky canoe!
Smashing that like button
Cheers! :)
it disappeared
Body Caps that's Genius, I'm always looking for storage box or a little container for my SD cards. Thanks for that thanks for the video.
What song were you using in the background for this video, Pete? Great backing track
By far the most informative videos!!!!!! AND you make it everything sound 100% less dull. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
3:48 - "I know that that's not gonna get lost"
3:57 - Actually it get lost xD
Peter, how about a video showing your editing process, gear and the "why" behind it? Would be awesome!
You forgot the "BUATS UP EVERYBODY!
Yeah didn't feel like it lol. Was also going 90 miles a minute today. he!
Okay :) BUT DON'T FORGET IT NEXT lol haha :)
Peter I just want to say I'm still loving the content and the creative way to produce your footage. But I'm absolutely loving the end scenes you are having at the end of the videos, so funny. 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.
He Peter Mckinnon! Can I have one?
Yes. Link in description. LOL
Haha! Thanks for replying. Makes me feel good!
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!
Peter, Have you ever gone out for a shoot, gone home and realised that you have bunch of footage that doesn't connect well together to tell a nice story by the time you sit down editing?
Super frustrating, keeps happening to me
Storyboard
As a tiny RUclipsr hoping to blow up one day, I must say that you are a must watch for me. I have definitely benefited from your tutorials and suggestions. Thanks.
Awesome....
Really appreciate your energy level.
Some times you look like Matthew McConaughey too.. :)
I am new to cameras and this amazing art of filmmaking and photography. Your videos are amazing, funny, addictive and easy to understand. Thank you sooo much
it's not stupid if it works
Haha yeah. Just not 'exciting' things to have to go buy but, MAN are they incredible to have!
New film maker, love the way you present fella I’m always excited to learn when your teaching. Thanks
There's no problem out there you can't solve with gaff tape!
NK CREATIVITY world peace GAFF TAPE
We tapped a gay to a wall with gaff tape
*guy. Not gay
Gaff tape your girl if irritating. 😂
Very helpful tips. As an experienced amateur photographer moving into videography on a regular basis this was exactly what I needed to know.
where do you shop for clothes? all your stuff looks comfy. all saints?
StrangerSinTV nailed it lol
oh shit for real? HAHAH nice dude.
What brand is the watch?
already seen this... but i'm rewatching because there's so much awesomeness in it!
I'm not even a photographer why am I watching these video's...
Haha! Well, thanks!
My friction arm and clamp cam in the mail yesterday! I love that I can mount my camera in tight spots now! Next up on my list is that Grip head. That's a must for a one man band like myself to hold my reflector!
There's this guy i watch on youtube, his name is Peter Mckinnon and he is the most awesome person ive ever seen.
Hey peter hope you see the comment it would meen alot

Even the edits in a little showcase like this is very well crafted. I like it!
Where did you learn all of your photography knowledge? Is it all just from experience?
Another cracking video Pete. I would love to see a video about how you prepare for a video and tips on how to come across relaxed and authentic on camera.

You are one of my major inspirations. Your videos look fabulous all the time. Respect.
Who else is early?!
Hey, Mr.Peter could you do a video on showing us some of the photos that you have taken...please... and by the way, you always give great advice...Thank you
Thanks for the great tips Peter. Your content is always fun and motivational and keeps us fellow filmmakers grinding forward.
hugely helpful shopping list for basic stuff that you might not have that COULD just make your life easier AND your shooting more creative.... coool. thanks man!
I loved the little magic tricks here and there.Awesome!
Hey Pete! Just wanted to say thank you for all the videos and tips you put out there. Since discovering your channel this last month, I've literally binge watched all of your videos over the past 2 1/2 weeks. Soo good! Soooo good! Keep up the amazing work! Much love from a fellow Canuck. - Erik
The man, the myth, the legend Peter Mckinnon, again with precious pieces of advice...Thank you, man, you are the greatest...
Gaffer tape = indispensable. Love your other tips esp the lens and body cap. Great idea!
Wow Peter! Amazing video, surprisingly covered quite a few things I have been curious about!! You have great insight on the videos we would like to see!
the bit where you were under the acoustic blanket made me lol! good stuff as always Peter! cool magic tricks btw.
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.
Good tips as always McKinnon. My trusty Multi Tool always came in handy, knife, screwdriver,saw, and bottle opener (beer to end the day) all in one
That blanket on the couch is awesome
Great video! Just remember to not get the gaff tape wet, it will leave residue on your cables if that happens, otherwise gaff is the greatest! Also try not to let it stick to itself, because it will not unstick from itself.
Awesome, we've just been buying up some last minute accessories for our Canada trip... may have to buy some of those little red ties!
Thanks Peter!
hell yea! such energy in this one. Seems like new coffee hits great!
Feeling jacked! Wooo! Espresso this morning and Im just BUZZIN!
acustic blankets sound amazing! I always have issues with something humming in the background while recording, this sounds like a lifesaver
OMG your channel is insanely helpful. I loved all of these tools. Now I have to start collecting them. The acoustic blanket bit was hilarious.
love the quick turn around time on your videos
your vids have always been great but man you are raising the bar to a whole new world recently. keep up the amazing work!
Another fantastic video, Pete! Your content is super helpful and fun to watch. Keep doing what you're doing!
1:53 the fact that there probably wasn't anyone there to ask that question was great.
Your videos are always so awesome. Thank you for being such a great teacher!

LOL the funniest thing was the acoustic blanket. It also is good to play with the lighter :)
There are special wallets to hold SD Cards (up to 6 or 8 SD cards), but I really liked the body cap case idea! Because it was innovate and haven't really heard about it before. Rest of the video was typical film grip stuff, but it was nice to be reminded.
Well done Peter! Well done....... I'm 61, never to old to learn!
