One thing I have found common with a lot of successful RUclipsrs and just successful people in general. There is always hate/negativity involved! If you do not have hate/negativity you are doing something wrong! Use the positivity and encouragement to continue to do anything you love brother! Keep up the good work!
You’re R6 settings and Autofocus Set up videos really helped me out! Long story short - I’m a wedding photographer and shoot Fuji and rent a second body, 3 days before a wedding my rental XT3 was written off by the previous customer, the only option I had for a second body was an R6 and and 85 1.2 (with which I have now fallen in love). So 10pm the night before the wedding I eventually get my hands on the R6 and start to work out how similar it is to my old 700D that I shot with about 5 years ago, and I find your 2 R6(/R5) set up videos and you saved my bacon. Your videos helped me set up the R6 and gave me the confidence to know it would do exactly what I needed it too on the day. You’re a great teacher, your instructions are clear and you seem like a very genuine person. Thank you for doing what you do, I look forward seeing what you make next!
I super appreciate this and what an amazing story haha. This is why I make tutorials and videos and will continue to do so because of comments like this. Thanks so much
Always remember that the people posting negative comments are bums. They wanna do what you do but they're cowards. They are also extremely jealous because they're not where they want to be in life. RUclips needs more WORKING photographers like you that don't just review gear, but actually know what they're talking about,
Really appreciate it. I agree completely and wanted to make this to give some insight and explain how much comments like these encourage me to make more videos
@@BrettCarlsen Imagine how jealous they are that you cover the NFL, meanwhile they're sitting in their moms basement making negative comments. We need more of your knowledge my man.
Man I just don't understand people. Regardless if I like the video or not I start out with a Thumbs Up just for the effort they put into it and the thumbs up lets me know I've watched that video already. I would never leave negative comments, just will unsubscribe if I don't like the content. I'm a RUclips junkie and everything I've learned about photography has came from RUclips. Brett you put out really good content and you have a down to earth persona about you that most people on RUclips don't have. I have always wondered why you don't put out more content and know I know and fully understand. Regardless I'll be waiting for you to put something out and soak it up like always. People suck!
It’s terrible to hear about the negative commenters. I find your content extremely valuable. Thanks for being so articulate about your experience. Your work is amazing
My suggestion is to create a space with questions for members of your channel, the financial contribution would certainly filter out these clueless people, on the other hand you could continue doing what you love and helping people who really like and need your knowledge.
Please don't stop making these videos, you're one of the best photographers to follow on RUclips also I think you have a great personality ignore the negative focus on the positive👍
You are a true professional photographer. I worked in a lab that catered to professional photographers in the 1980’s. There were a few very good ones, the average ones and the what the hell ones. That’s what you have watching your videos. You can’t please everyone because that’s impossible. You do great, so don’t be deterred. Thanks for your hard work making videos.
oh man, I'm from Brazil and around here we don't have professionals like you willing to share knowledge. I got to know your channel a little while ago and I was really delighted. We have to respect your space, and I hope you continue to give us your tips on other platforms.
Man…I love your content! I also understand the need to protect your mental health at all cost! The internet is such an incredible resource, but there are also a lot of trolls that have nothing better to do. I for one enjoy your content and I’m grateful for what you post to help me grow in my craft! Thank you! 🙏🏾
Well. Engagement helps more people find things for one. But Many people ask valid questions that myself or others can help people learn from. Etc. so I like to have them and engage because I think it helps people out. But some days, yes I want to turn them off haha. Someone was mad about the way I say “button” as an example 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you for your help!! I really appreciate all you guys on RUclips you have helped me so much!!!!! Just wish there was a way to get rid of all the idiots that I see posting. It is not easy doing what you are doing to help people.... So Thank You!!!!!
You have guts to do these videos - I make videos too (not photography related) and I get all sorts of negative comments too. However, I am a lawyer so I'm kind of used to it (the negative comments). LOL. Hard to ignore the trolls isn't it? It's a little unfortunate though - the negative comments come from people with - likely - a sad existence. Thank you for uploading!
Oh man. I would bet you have a thicker skin with that career haha. But appreciate it and agree! I block them out pretty good now but it’s always what I think of when I go to setup my camera to make a video
Dude, I love watching all your stuff and I don't even shoot Canon. Thanks for dealing with the turds out there and continuing to put awesome content out there. From having filmed with you, I think a lot of people might not know what a wealth of experience you have and how fortunate we are that you share it so freely. Cheers, dude.
Been a fan and supporter a long time. Keep up the great work. I’m not sure why the haters come out of the woodwork to post negative comments when it’s faster to just click away and move on… further, most of the ass hat haters have never created a video nor put themselves out there at all… posting shit comments is the ultimate sign of a coward and a loser.
Man, i love your videos….your a talent in front of and behind the camera….i very much appreciate your expertise and informative videos….i have an old 5dmarkiii, r5 and im considering the 1dx markiii….thank you
Just yesterday Nikon presented the Z9. After watching all sorts of previews by people reviewing gear and some professional landscape and wildlife photographers, I was interested in a sports photographer's opinion. Not by someone going once and a while to a soccer match if they have a D6, Z9, or an R3 to review. Your feedback, opinion, knowledge is so valuable in this space of youtube, as this type of professionalism is lacking. Keep it up.
So very welcome! I’d love to try the camera out but since all the Nikon reps I knew are laid off now. I’m unsure how that would be possible. So you’ll be stuck with the non pro reviews probably
I totally get what you’re saying. Especially youtube and twitter can be toxic places. What works for me is to require comments to be approved by you. It’s extra work but allows you to keep constructive engagement and filter out all the junk. Just an idea. This is the first video I saw from you, but will be watching some of your work. Keep it up .. it is people like you that make life worth living
That’s not a bad idea. I like having things open though because the positive ones get up and people can help each other etc. that’s happened on multiple videos while I’m busy and don’t check notifications etc. thanks so much for the support though!!
Brett I’m a pro also your vid’s are great. Don’t worry about the losers.. that’s why they are losers. All they do is critique. Focus on the people your helping. I just brought the 1 dx mark iii and loved your videos on it
You're still the best. I wish you did more because I've learned from your stuff. Love that you're willing to share. I'd carry your bags without saying a word, a way better caddie than a roller bag! Do what you do, and when you want to! PEACE!
Just about any camera is amazing now. Canon has the M50 and eos rp for beginners. Sony has the a6000 series and Fuji has some basic models in their X lineup that would all be great. I personally like canon but all our great brands

You're a great person and educator, Brett! Keep it up! I’m wondering, why not just turn off the "Comments" feature? Would that defeat the purpose?
Well. Engagement helps more people find things for one. But Many people ask valid questions that myself or others can help people learn from. Etc. so I like to have them and engage because I think it helps people out. But some days, yes I want to turn them off haha.
Someone was mad about the way I say “button” as an example 🤦🏻♂️
Brett you have helped me so much man. Seriously, thank you for all that you've already done. Really, really appreciate you bro.
Thank you! More to come for sure

I just discovered your channel - I hope you will continue. I just purchased a R5 - your focus set up tutorial is very appreciated!
Thanks so much! Definitely will. Editing two videos now. One pretty boring and one a bit more fun.
@@BrettCarlsen Thanks so much!
What shampoo do you use?
Duke Cannon
Quality over quantity. Keep doing your thing.
