you all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Spencer Alfredo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Most of us also pronounce the "s" in "stephaner" like the sh in "shock" rather than the st in "stand". Lots of Americans doesn't get this quite right - you do :) I really love your sense of humour besides, not only here but in a lot of your videos. Your work is really interesting and especially the printing episodes really helped me!
Yeah, but you have to work on your "Hefe Weizenbier/Weissbier/Weißbier". Slow down the first 'e' of Hefe a little bit and the 'z' should sound more like an american 'ts'.
Dont' drink weissbier from the bottle. It is meant to be drunk from a special glass called Weissbierglas. Btw I'm bavarian and yes you're right about the pronounciation.
@@nickcarverphoto Your pronunciation is pretty good but the waiters weren't that wrong! An explanation of the need for a special glass: The Weißbierglas or Weizenglas as it is called in German has a special shape, that helps the beer staying fresh for a longer time and avoids accidents with drinking. It is possible that the carbon dioxide in the beer makes it froth in your mouth, if you are not careful, so that the beer sprays out of your nose while drinking from the bottle :-D
Great beer and one of my favorites, but such a nice beer like this deserves a glass. This was the beer that piqued my interest (and soon to be passion) in beer. I was in Germany in 1999. Decided to try a German beer (never cared for American beer at that time). WOW. It rocked my world. Started to seek out craft beer after that.
German is my second language and you are pronouncing it correctly. "W" in German is pronounced as a "V" in American English. I have a similar System 3 tripod, but not extra long. Guten tag!
I speak German. I can say it's definitely with the long "a" as the waiters mentioned. Additionaly, from you it sounds like "Wein" instead of "Weihen". So it's more "Wei"-"hen" where you here also the "h"
Hi Nick, did you consider RRS TA-3 leveling base to go underneath the BH55 to level the base, I think it's much better than having panning clamp on top of the ball-head. The reason why is, the panning clamp only works if you are 100% level, but if your camera is a bit tilted up or down, then panning on the clamp would not be a good idea. With TA-3 or any other leveling base you always pan on the base of the ball-head. It's very handy for landscapes specially.
I’m not sure which I’m most impressed with, the review of the beer or the one on the tripod. Great to see a review that isn't just a "I bought it because it's the best" full stop. You broke it down into the parts and what each part brings to your work and why you chose it. Very informative indeed. Now, that’s the beer out of the way, about your review on the tripod...
Definitely see the reasoning for your choice of tripod. As you point out it's a lifetime investment so over the years it will pay for itself. Curious that you have the RRS head (fantastic head which I own too) but not their tripod? Any reason why the Gitzo over RRS? BTW I love this concept of a talk over a whiskey or beer.
Michael Wellman thanks man! I think RRS didn't even have their own tripods yet when I got my gitzo. That's how old it is! Haha. But the RRS tripods do seem to be top shelf.
Nick that beeeer co. should pay you royalties, I haven't drunk any alcohol for 4 years, just don't like it but found myself thirsty and Its winter here... suave...and the totem pole. Which brings me to ask about the insulation foam [DIY, inner inch fitting specs etc ] , ~ how much a foam-gap do you have once you wrapped the foam around with tape..? I found the edges an inch apart after a tight wrap.Silly question actually, think I will have to hunt for thinner foam. my bad. “If the facts don‘t fit the theory, change the facts.” -Albert Einstein. I have the latest of that model tripod, it is prodigious pod for steep mountain sides and catching Drones... not really but I love the little extra creative altitude.
Cam Munting haha. They can pay me in 6-packs. I'd be alright with that. As for the foam insulation, I compress it really firmly when wrapping so it's not as bulky.
I'm not a professional photographer, so I have no need of a $1,000+ tripod, but I overstand pro's needing equipment that they can count on. Interestingly, I was on the B&H site a few weeks ago, and was surprised by the number of negative reviews RE: Gitzo tripods. According to what I read, Gitzo was recently bought by another company (I want to say Manfrotto, but I'm not sure), and that since then, their customer service has gone downhill significantly. I'm ALL for paying for quality, it just seems that so many things nowadays do not offer the quality and/or customer service that you'd expect, given their price point. Ironically, I have been very disappointed in some premium products I have owned (a car immediately comes to mind) and highly satisfied by some budget items I own. I like nice watches, and while I've never had a problem with any of them, I have a couple of 10+ year old Timex's that I cannot kill.
Derek Czar I haven't had to use gitzo customer service yet, but that's a shame to hear it's not very good. With so much more competition out there they should really work on that.
I vou can get a hand on it, try a Altenmünster. They don't even label their bottles. They emboss them ... And yes, it tastes even better. www.altenmuenster-brauerbier.de/beer/urig-wuerzig/
I've been living in Germany for some 12 years and I can tell you that you will be right or wrong depending on whom you ask, so there are roughly 80 millions different pronunciations of any given word. 1800$ tho...
At first I was like "Eh! Tripod ? $1800 nonetheless ! Not my thing." But then I thought "Well, it's Nick (and there's beer) so I'll give it a try." Guess what ? Now I want to drink to that beer and buy that INSANELY expensive tripod ! Awesome video. This series is the best!
I'm not sure I care how to pronounce it, your pronunciation sounds ok (I'm not German), but more importantly another great video. Keep them coming. Great format.
OK, look here (German promotional video): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MMtkg8rw0dc.html go to 1:12 (or watch the whole 7+ minutes to get some more samples). You are right, stress is on the "Ste", not the "a". And yeah, I'm from Bavaria, not Germany ;) Concerning the glass... We had "correct" glasses, until one broke. I then simply took a really cheap red wine glass (type "Bordeaux" if that matters - the expensive "Riedel Shiraz" didn't perform as well). Well, we now always use that glass ;) IMO tastes better than from standard Weißbierglas and you get a lot more from the smell. Really, try it, drink bear like you would drink wine! And last but not least: We like Weltenburger better ;) "Barock Dunkel" and "Kellerbier" are our favorites.
Nick. I'm local in the OC as well. Do you have a place I can send you something I ordered for you? Really love your channel and thought of you when I saw this item. Thanks for the videos!
Hey Nick. originally German/Austrian, but been in the US for quite a while. Also a large format shooter. Just to settle the debate on how to pronounce the beer and the brewery....if you say the following words in sequence you pretty much have the pronunciation correct: vie-hen-steph-fawn-ur. Prost!!!
If you pronounce each word separately and put equal emphasis on every vowel you are 90% there (in German you don’t string words and vowels together like in English or French, that is why it sounds so harsh) Then, to pronounce the adjective Weihenstephaner (meaning “of Weihenstephan”) you put the emphasis on the FAWN and eliminate the pause before the UR - so you would say: vie-hen-steph-FAWNur To pronounce the proper name Weihenstephan, you put the emphasis on STEPH and eliminate the pause before the FAWN - so it is: vie-hen-STEPHfawn Enjoy!!!
I took years of german language instruction and went to germany for my honeymoon and let me tell you Nick, absolutely nobody knows how to pronounce that correctly
Weihenstephaner is pronounced "VAI-en-SHTE-fahn-uh". Hefeweizen is pronounced "HEH-feh-VAI-tsen". Capitalization to show emphasis, dashes to show syllables. I appreciate the effort to pronounce them correctly!
Well, you should taste it with the right glass - you will love that beer twice... Tripods: I couldn't find the right one for me so I build my own pro version from aluminium...not that hight like yours, but perfect for heavy equipment. As I saw first your beautyfull 6x17 Shenhao cam I saw it right on my tripod...😉 After very hard two weeks I decide not to go with a 4x5 or 8x10 camera. So my C220 is the winner 🤣 Great channel btw, your unique style inspires me doing more photos... 👍 All the best from Germany 🇩🇪
My wife speaks German NIck and says you’re as right as you could possibly be ;-) I am on the hunt for Weihenstephaner beer. Going to Tip Top meats in Carlsbad to see if I can find it, as German as you can get around here. Gitzo makes a life long tripod, mine is a bit shorter in the legs and the BH55 ballhead is a beast. Don’t ever see a need for anything else. Great video Nick, one of the very few that makes me laugh. How could a video review of a tripod be any better!!!
Bill McCarroll thanks, Bill! And thanks to your wife for the confirmation. Next time I'm rolling through Carlsbad I'll have to check out tip top meats.
You are very close. The first part "Weihensteph .." is super correct. You only have to pronounce the end like "fun". (no joke) phonetic: {Weihenstefun}. Prost and greetings from Germany!
Bro, I bought that beer for my sister's bday and of course they love it. I don't drink at all. I tasted beer and never liked the taste, but when I took a sip of this German beer, I knew right away what an excellent beer taste like. It leaves your with this perfect after taste in your mouth than I would have never expected. Thx again.
Prost from Germany! Another refreshing video of yours. Great job done, very entertaining as always. And yes you got the pronounciation very very close. And yes Gitzo & RRS is a great combo. I enjoy it everytime I put my Linhof on it. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Luckily there are better beers in Bavaria than Weihenstephaner. Especially among the Hefeweiz beers, there are significantly better ones than that from Weihenstephan. a Bavarian, I just have to realize that. 🙂So nice how you pronounce "Weihenstephan"! :-)))) Weihenstephan is Bavaria's (Germany's?) oldest brewery. And another important note about drinking wheat beer: This beer is not drunk from the bottle, but from a wheat beer glass. 🙂
Just started watching your videos... Love them! Btw I'm from Bavaria, Germany. Not far from where your beer's coming from! Keep up that BGWG! Awesome man! Your pronunciation is nearly perfect btw.
Your pronunciation is honestly pretty good. Try not to over-emphasize the 'ste', and make the 'a' in 'stephaner' less like an American a, but more like an American 'u'. Just imagine it would be 'stephuner'. One last thing: The plural of 'Weihenstephaner' is 'Weihenstephaner'. The word does not change, just like the plural of fish is fish.
Yea, it's a bit hard to explain, but once you have used a top of the range tripod and head, there is no way you can go back. Perhaps fortunately I hike with mine, so it is lighter, smaller and hence about 1/2 that price. I like your description of why you need a lever clamp. I guess I'm similar, but I never quite figured out how to describe it.
Nick, be aware that RRS tripod head mounting plates are not the same size as Arca Swiss plates. The Arca Swiss are smaller and the RRS quick release head will not grip the Arca Swiss plate. The camera will end up hitting the floor. The RRS screw type heads will secure an Arca Swiss plate perfectly. An RRS quick release head cannot be adjusted and so RRS plates and brackets must be used. PIA !
I distinctly remember buying a new VW Beetle in 1970 for less than you paid for that tripod, head and base. I paid around $2000 for it. What kind of mileage do you get with it?
The best beer I have ever had and you can't understand it unless you were there. Was the cold Raineer beer in the crummy after working hard all day on a hot summer day Logging. Cheap who gave a damn it was like drinking heaven. Take the caulk (pronounced Cork) boots off slip into the Romeo's and finally get to kick back.
The waiters are actually right, as hard as it seems. We Germans don’t “swallow” the a in stephaner, and at least pronounce the a. The stress is certainly not on the “Weihen”. Usually Germans never drink Weizen straight out of the bottle, considering the gas and foam. But don’t make the mistake getting a tin Bavarian style mug,that’s for tourists. Plain glass, or even better ceramics, because it will keep the beer cooler for longer. Prost from Nordrhein Westfalen!
My name is stephan and in the UK it's pronounced Steven but all over Europe and the Mediterranean depending on the country and the accent, so it can be pronounced anyway you want
Having watched this 2 or 3 times in the past it helped me decide time to stump up for Tripod Kong so I now have the tripod and Ball Head, no regrets Nick none at all.
No it's not. The Emphasis is on steph. Here ist the official Image Film of the brewery where they say the Name at 1:12 min : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MMtkg8rw0dc.html
$1,800. really isn't that much $ for a business expense. I remember I paid over $2,000. for a commercial quality fax machine in 1989 for my headhunting business. Today that would be more like $4,000. in $2018 dollars and it paid for itself many times over.
You should hear people try to pronounce the St. Sixtus abbey beer Westvleteren. (Great Belgian lager by the way, especially the 12, but if you want as good and you don’t want to travel to Belgium, get some Rochefort, I prefer the 8 over the 10). Also, nice tripod 😂
. The next episode should focus on a fine champagne, and The RB67. I'm sure a few folks will be thinking about buying something bubbly for The New Year Celebration. And The RB is just an affordable, and magnificent piece of medium format machinery !
Really Right Stuff: Great products, lousy customer service. Beware; if you accidently order an item that is out of stock, and later decide to cancel because you got tired of waiting for it, they WILL charge you a "restocking fee" for said out of stock item. BTW: Where's the doggie?
Peoria Videos Ltd that's not good! I've never had to utilize their customer service. Hopefully they work on that. And Tess will be back for a cameo in episode 3!

The RRS head is great, I'm sure. But this Arca Swiss compatible FLM head is the very best (coincidentally German made): www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1085533-REG/flm_12_58_960_cb_58ftr_professional_ft_series.html
I live in the city where Weihenstephaner is produced. To be honest we don‘t even drink it that much. If you‘re looking for the best Weissbier, try getting a hold of Huber Weisses. Another tip for that type of beer is try drinking it out of a glass. The beverage contains sediment that falls to the bottom over time, to enjoy the whole drink it should be poured into a glass. Of course there is a specific technique to pour a Weissbier ( Its Germany ). I dont wish to criticize, only to spread some help from one beer connoisseur to another. Love the channel already, keep up the great work!
Here are some reccomendations from the area on beers. If anyone is able to get a hold of these I have to insist on picking these up: Augustiner Helles Tegernseer Helles Chiemseer Helles Huber Weißes Hacker Pschorr Radler (Shandy) Crew Republic Drunken Sailor (Modern Microbrew IPA)
Your pronounciation is really not bad but you should never really never drink a Weißbier out of the bottle. That’s really disgusting. 😉 Please instead use a proper glass..
Nick, you're correct about the Gitzos being very maintainable. After maybe 10 years (or slightly less), I finally replaced the plastic leg locks on my GT 2540. This thing has been in fresh water, salt water, sand storms, and everything else nature can throw at it and keeps on ticking. I did go larger for my Shen Hao 617 and went with an RRS TVC-33 with a BH55 head...so far, so good. Yeah, you pay for it, but quality isn't cheap.
Loving this "behind the glass with a glass"series!!!! awesome tripod,,,,,but just a little out of my range.....BUT im looking for that beer Today!!!! Your awesome man, love these vids, top of my list!
Awesome Hefe, definitely in the tops. But before you declare a favorite, I recommend you try Schneider Weiss Tap 7 and Ayinger Brauweisse among others. Also of note, is the limited edition collaboration Hefe between Weihenstephaner and Sierra Nevada, Braupakt, absolutely delicious! I wish somehow, they won’t stop producing it. If you like the Weihenstephaner Hefe, check this one out also. All of these are among the top wheats in the world, without a doubt.
Great video, a little out of my range, but totally agree with the right tools for the job. Also. Try their Kristall Weiss. I love it. Takes me back to my army days in Germany Prost!!!!
Nick, you rock. You are definitely more right than any of those serving the beer. Very enjoyable first few minutes. You should try “Paulaner” - sorry I’m half Bavarian!
Here is the official Image movie of the brewery. At the 1:12 mark you can clearly hear how it's pronounced. With the Emphasis on steph not on a : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MMtkg8rw0dc.html
