Well dang! I was not expecting this detailed of a response. Did you write this all up yourself? Appreciate the time you took to share all that! I certain will keep note of this

@@FellowFilmmaker Anytime, I can help I will.

So glad!

Love to hear that! I'm excited to make the more in-depth ones on each item I briefly mentioned in this video So many things to show, haha

@@FellowFilmmaker Looking forward to it! I had been on the fence about getting an autopole / varipole, but now after seeing this and starting to think about the different grip options, I think it would help in a couple of spaces I use.

There are so many uses! I've got four of the Varipoles and they are super helpful around the office

Awesome, thank you!

I love to hear that! So glad I can help you in this useful way :D More to come!

Love to hear that :D

Nice! :D I'll be working on it very soon!

Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Awesome! love to hear other folks enjoying them

Glad I could help!

Glad I could help you out! Haha, yeah, thought I'd leave it in for the fun :)

@@FellowFilmmaker yeeeah...keep 'em just like that. This is one of the reasons why I enjoy your channel: you are simplistic, but real!

Thanks! :D

Thanks, will do!

Thanks so much! 😊

Great to hear!

Links should be working! Appreciate the support

Thank you! Will do!

Glad I could help!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed :D

Well thanks! I think it's the combo of the stick, hair light, and maybe a lil natural light as well Also a good hair day haha

That is funny! The wall plate can be super helpful for a variety of things. Thanks for using my links, certainly helps support what I'm doing :D

Yay! You should def get two!

@@FellowFilmmaker unfortunately, this exact model is not yet available in Germany, but I will see if I can find something similar.

Well thanks Hope you learned some new tricks

Any time! You should share if you come up with anything cool :D

Haha, glad the comedy bit (accidental) brought you some relief today! Haha, for my transport I'm using different cases or bags (depending on the job). Smaller stuff I'm using a rolling case of sorts and then I have a super huge case for bigger stuff (I've got a video on the channel on it already) by ThinkTank

Happy to hear that!

Nice! That's super smart

Glad I could make you aware :D

Haha glad you enjoyed! I'll be doing more in the series soon

Thanks so much!

Yeah, those wedges are easy to lose!

That's great that you found the knob! Glad you're getting more use out of your gear

Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying the channel :)

Nice! They are handy

@@FellowFilmmaker One option you left out is magic arms. You can do a lot with them and the super clamps.

I love that! I find film gear is very useful for many other things too

Great to hear! Hope you're enjoying the channel

@@FellowFilmmaker Yes. I am. 😀This one really helped me during my initial days ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_RW86dhRnEM.html

Happy to hear that!

That is super kind of you! Thank you very much :D I hope the videos help out many folks

@@FellowFilmmaker I guess it does. The Content is important and easy to understand. People need Creators like you. :) Have a nice week.

Welcome!

Thank you! I actually bought these ones (the titles, the background graphics I created myself). Here's the link: www.motionvfx.com/store,mtitle-hype,p3520.html

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad it was helpful!

Yep! haha

I've not made the video yet, it'll be out soon enough

@@FellowFilmmaker Ok great :) I have a varipole close to the wall in front of me... and I'm just starting to think about how I can attach my camera to it and possibly be able to remove my tripod... freeing up some floor space. But has to be pretty sturdy since it is teleprompter + camera together. So I thought that right angle thingy you showed might do the job. Hmmmmm... ideally I would like one of those flexible arms though so I can reposition camera easier.... but I just don't know if they are strong enough.

You could always look at the Geartree made by Ulanzi

The one I have is not my favorite, I've gotta find one I like first :D

Thanks and welcome

I'll see what I can do :D

I think it could be? I know those holes are sometimes used for other accessories (like the 3 roll backdrop holder I have)

man that's no fun

It's part of the ML60 light kit

Why don't you send me an email with a picture or something so I can get a better idea. Contact form is on the website as well if you need it. Heather@fellowfilmmakercourses.com

nice :D

yeahhh, that's the rough part

not yet, will be soon tho

@@FellowFilmmaker ok, just been waiting 10 months.. haha jk looking forward
