You LOOK healthy too. Someone has been working out! Rests and regroupings are essential no matter what work we do. You are one of my all time fave camera guys and I've learned the most from you for sure. We are all grateful you're still around
Your statement might be correct if being a RUclips is not your job. But let be honest, the number pays expenses, and the number is the main consideration for sponsors to spend money on a RUclipsr.
@@MarkAfterDark not everyone is a content creator ;) And as you can see his channel says "This channel doesn't have any content". But his point is correct. If your main source of income is RUclips / advertising you need those numbers. The only reason people 'slow down' is because they have: a. a stable job on the side b. a second source of income (in this case co-ops with hardware vendors)
I owe my video career in no small part to you and everything I've learned on your channel over many years. You'll always have my support on this channel and any of your other endeavors! Appreciate you Caleb!
This is what I want Caleb: Do what you find creative and fun, and if you feel that’s worth sharing. Do it. If not, go find something that brings you joy and go for it. Sincerely, A long time fan
Great to see you back, Caleb! And, also thanks for sharing your journey to a healthier approach to creating content on RUclips. I can't wait to be here for all the incredibly creative things you build!
Thanks for sharing so much thoughts on techniques, gear and creative processes. You are packaging it all in such a humble, grounded and encouraging way that truly inspires so many creators over the world. I’ve been following you for quite some time and I appreciate that you are posting again. Not that any of us have any right to have expectations. I’ll just stay with a big thank you. You rock. Follow your heart.
Love this. Great job rethinking your business and priorities. Really awesome to hear some of the stuff down the pipe. You've got your priorities straight. We support you, Caleb!
*Congratulations on the success of your new business endeavour. 👍🏻I have been following your channel here on the Tube for several years now. I have learned alot from your videos. Your new product is intriguing, and I think you have stumbled upon a great product niche many filmmakers will want to have.🤔I wish you the best of success.*
Welcome back Caleb ! We missed you….. and we do care ! In our humble opinion Caleb, you are one of the best and most enjoyable RUclipsrs out there. Congratulations and best wishes for success on your new company startup. Really happy to know that you have been taking care of yourself. Warmest regards, Nathan
So many RUclipsrs & camera resellers, camera stores. Owe this man..... he would make videos and cameras would go up in price or sell out 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 glad you're back
Welcome back, Caleb. It's good to see you enjoying yourself in front of the camera and I'm excited to see what comes next. You were the first channel I ever subscribed to, and I've been enjoying your content for years now. Keep up the good work.
YES. Please make whatever the heck you want as long as you are making something for us to see! I feel like my technical knowledge base as a filmmaker plateaued without your videos and I was going back watching your stuff from even like 10 years ago just to soak in anything I could.
Hey Caleb! You've very much helped me get started on my video making journey beginning years ago and I want you to know how much I appreciate that. You don't need to crank out a constant stream of videos for me to be happy with your channel. We all need to follow our passion and dreams as much as we can. I'm happy for you. Best of luck on your new endeavors!
You video/audio guide really helped me out. I can't tell you how many times I got "why is your video/audio so good?" Of course, making audio panels really helps too, but the initial setup is all Caleb-Approved!
Dude, so glad to see you back and doing well. Love the philosophy of resetting our RUclipsr mindset. Can’t wait to shop Camera Foundry for Cinebacks for other camers!
The rat race is the perfect analogy. I’m very glad to see your lovely self and Gerald taking the time to reevaluate and that the audience is taking it well. I send rays of compassion and encouragement to you! Thanks!
ha i just went through the same thing. I was was actually looking back at my channels content and i had that same problem for many years. But now, im finally in a place where im having fun with it. Welcome back!
Thanks for the update. Your channel was one of my main my go to channels as I got back into the video/film industry after about 20 years. The other two were Gerald Undone and Make Art Now. Your BMPCC4K camera guide was a God send. I completed my first documentary back in December and I'm working on my second. I couldn't have done it without ya! Thanks
So glad you're back and in a capacity you seem more excited about. Your videos have been so helpful to me, and were especially helpful to me in picking out my first professional gear purchase about 4 years ago. I haven't commented before, but I've been here for years! Thanks for all you (and other camera/film youtubers) have done to help so many of us figure out what to do, where to start and take next steps.
Weird how long I've been following you, noticed I hadn't seen a new video from you in a while, went to your channel this morning (because the youtube algorithm has gotten worse, and lo and behold, you posted like 10 minutes ago at the time of me writing this. The Universe was working
Glad to see you back. Your Lumix camera guides were the first two products of the sort that I bought and still reference. Even the simplest of your uploads helps out an entire community of creators. Thank for sharing your time!
Glad to see you again. it was weird, I went to check your site and found out you were missing few months from your channel YESTERDAY. NOW your are alive!!! I am so happy to see you!!! America is a capitalism country, no money no honey, hope you doing good from a financial standpoint.
Your setups have always been inspiring. And given that I’m in the middle of a remodel and a rewiring of my own content creator brain, I am super excited to see what you have to share. ❤
You've got a fantastic knack for systemic thinking! The way you make everything work together as a cohesive system, rather than just focusing on individual product reviews, is where your input truly shines.
I‘m so happy for you, Caleb! Been following your channel for so many years. It‘s so great to see you evolve and overcome the challenges life throws at you. Thank you for being open about it!
Hey Caleb. I don't care about cameras. I don't care about gear. What I care about is communication. And that's why I watch your channel: To learn how to communicate better. You are an expert at sharing product features, implementations, etc. In other words: I stay subscribed because one day, if I ever have a youtube channel, I want to be like you-but like me. You seem like an amazing person. Calm. Smart. Zen. In control. Humble. Great markings of just an all around good dude. And this video proves it all the more. Thanks for teaching me, and for following your product passion. *It's all very inspiring to witness!*
Welcome back. Like your new setup. The varied and quirky background style provides much needed variety. For example, I particularly like Paul McGowan's PS Audio channel and his constantly changing backgrounds.
So stoked to see you again. This channel has inspired me countless times, from chosing my first camera, to experimenting with lighting, to making an atem case with my father, all because of your content. Hope you realize that every video you put out inspires someone out there.
My favorite content that you did in the past was your DIY gear, so this new direction where you talk more about your inventions and gear improvements is awesome. Glad you've found something that nourishes your soul!
Youre a big inspiration of mine. I put together a video shooting studio for my wifes youtube channel. My wife remarked 'You literally thought of everything, every purchase every component. It all works together perfectly'. You know who gave me that wisdom, a guy from a channel called DSLR Video Shooter. Also i want to say, i see a video of yours and i instantly want to be doing something with film. Your aesthetics are on-point.
Your videos have completely changed the trajectory of my life for the better. You inspired me to learn filmmaking and take it in directions where I made lifelong friends. Can’t thank this channel enough, I’m glad to see you going in a direction that makes you truly happy!
Welcome back, Caleb! Glad to hear you're coming back and focusing on the fun of creating again and looking forward to all of the new content. Also, your table top filmmaking course looks great!
Thank you SO MUCH for your example to strike a healthy work/life balance! It is so appreciated! As a small business owner and non-profit co-founder, we're all constantly being told that success will only come by working sun up to sundown and that is only really effective at producing burnout. Keep creating and finding ways to maintain your love for what you do!
Glad to see you back. I found you're channel a few months ago amd noticed that most of the videos, while still relevant; were atleast 1 year old. Happy to see you're back and I will definitely will be staying tuned. Thanks for great content so far and I am looking forward to even better ones going forward.
So glad that you are back, especially doing it the way you want to do it. Your creativity has been an inspiration to me. If you can continue to do your videos in a way that is good for you and inspires others, then it is a win-win for all.
I think what I'm excited about for this channel is that you're not going to be like everyone else. It feels like so many people are just doing the exact same thing as each other. You seem to want to not only create videos that you are proud of/have energy for (which are the BEST kind!), but also, you're doing things just a little differently. You're making things and bringing us along. It's awesome. :)
Great to hear from you again Caleb. And nice to hear I’m not the only one struggling to find new ways to do RUclips. Also, I love the lighting in this video. All the best, and see you when you’re ready!
I'm so excited to see Caleb in the shop! I love build videos, Tested, and all of your past work, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make.
Thank you Caleb for your awesome content! It looks like there are a lot of people on here like me who work in video production who appreciate and value your perspective. I often find myself returning to old videos of builds you’ve done for inspiration on solving real issues for my team. I would also add that from my perspective, it’s how useful and interesting your content is that keeps me coming back to your channel, not how often you post. Whenever you post a video, I’m likely to watch it, whether 2 weeks or 2 months or even longer.
Great to have you back. I’m glad you are taking care of yourself. You look healthy and excited about the things you are working on. That’s fantastic to see.
Thanks for the shout-out, Caleb. Glad to hear you're doing so well. Looking forward to what's next. 👍💜
Thanks Gerald. Same! As always I'm eating up these tours man.
@@dslrvideoshooter Have Gerald booked a flight to Caleb location already? )
YOU TWO :')
on behalf of the global council of RUclipsrs, I must state that we did not approve of this return, but we’ll allow it, and frankly we’re excited.
facts!
Let's gooo!

😂 Miss you man!!! Hopefully our paths cross soon.
@@dslrvideoshooter count on it!
You LOOK healthy too. Someone has been working out! Rests and regroupings are essential no matter what work we do. You are one of my all time fave camera guys and I've learned the most from you for sure. We are all grateful you're still around
Next is Caleb talking about camera gear doing pushups 👍
RUclips is a lot more fun when it's not about the numbers. Good for you.
Your statement might be correct if being a RUclips is not your job. But let be honest, the number pays expenses, and the number is the main consideration for sponsors to spend money on a RUclipsr.
@@zulfika_ is that why you have 9 subs?
@@MarkAfterDark not everyone is a content creator ;) And as you can see his channel says "This channel doesn't have any content".

@@MarkAfterDark it's not exactly hard to figure out.

I owe my video career in no small part to you and everything I've learned on your channel over many years. You'll always have my support on this channel and any of your other endeavors! Appreciate you Caleb!
Stoked for you buddy!
take your time and do whatever makes you happy, your stuff is always interesting and amazing and frequency/making the algorithm happy isn't everything
This is what I want Caleb:
Do what you find creative and fun, and if you feel that’s worth sharing. Do it. If not, go find something that brings you joy and go for it.

You're an enormous part of my storytelling journey, man. Glad to see you've found more balance in your life, and stoked to see you back in my feed!

True I remember those multi function stands he promoted sold out within days 😅

Caleb, you're inspiring and helpful to us all in however you evolve your channel 👊
Glad to see you re-energized for video making. I'm about to start production on my videos and I can use all the help I can get.
Welcome back, Caleb. It's good to see you enjoying yourself in front of the camera and I'm excited to see what comes next. You were the first channel I ever subscribed to, and I've been enjoying your content for years now. Keep up the good work.

Great to see you making more and more products! Keep it up, even it means we don’t get to see you here as often as before.
