You might think that getting companies to send you items in return for a review is fun and a good idea but trust me, once the novelty wears off, it ends up like work. And it may even hurt your channel. There will be times when you enjoy it but that'll only happen when pick the right gear to review which you and your audience will enjoy. Trust me when I say this, making videos that you want to make will stand to you a lot

@@HuFilms Lots of You Tubers give the same reviews on new product and don't know how to properly review or work that new camera. We know the GH7 is great and the Z6 III is great but oh no the C400 is just ok. Watch the reviews. Even You Tubers that commented in response to your OP video are doing exactly what you say they shouldn't do.

Nice video. I have a small channel and recently have been contacted by a company who make AI gimbals and offered me a free gimbal in exchange of the review. It was very tempting as it's a first time that any brand wanted to work with me but after a serious thought, I refused the offer because first of all I don't know much about the gimbals and secondly I can't do any reviews in which everything I say is not my own.

I don’t do product review but i find this video is honest and true. I bought some products and used different camera brands. You are true a good review is a product that you love to use it. The viewers will find it close to them if your product review is practical to you.

Hi Hugh, Thanks for another fantastic video. Because of your review of the Pocket 3, I bought one to use for my pilgrimage. I have just finished walking just over 1,000km on the Camino Frances, Finisterre & Muxia. Brilliant camera & mic system, so very grateful for your advice. Best wishes (& Buen Camino) Gavin Ayre

Always love your videos, Hugh. Just one audio suggestion. Lav mics, in general, sound really "dead" to my ears. Clear, but dead. Since you filming in such a beautiful location, why not mix in some of the ambient audio, too? Since you have the Osmo pocket 3, you can always have a second camera running and just get the audio off of that. I think it would just add another dimension to your Vlogs. Hope that helps, and look forward to your next video. Mark in Marin County, California

@HuFilms 2 ай бұрын

I actually fully agree with you and thanks for saying it, this video was a casual affair to start out with and I'm kinda tiring of the lav sound if I'm honest. Some of the closer shots to camera had nicer sound from the on cam mic but I couldn't mix it in effectively. I think I'm going to bring the Sennheiser 416 next time. Audio is everything!

@marinrealestatephotography 2 ай бұрын

@@HuFilms Yes, I noticed that too, that the audio from the onboard camera mics sounded pretty nice and more "natural." And by the way, if in your travels you ever come out to San Francisco, way out here in California, I will take you out for some good Mexican food. Or In-N-Out Burger, if you prefer. Or both!!!

there is nothing wrong with giving impression and providing footage before a camera is released to the stores to give first impression , sure there is some marketing involved as company's have designed it for certain segment , but its not like reviewers must say this is the best camera on earth period or something silly like that. many youtubers who are affiliated with brands often provide educational material ,

@adidabax6809 2 ай бұрын

It's a hugely important thing for buyers. Otherwise they only get initial information from the company and stores. Yes, you obviously have to listen with some judgement that they likely have a good relationship with a company, but they also dispel a lot of the rumors going around.

@HuFilms 2 ай бұрын

I agree with you here. But lots of manufacturers send stuff out for review as their main marketing method. I’m referring to cheaper accessories than cameras such as mics and lights etc.

Well Hugh good points, but look at it that way. The benq thing may attract few as*holes like me who think that you are professional and not knowing about calibration doesn't make much of a sense to me, you've sold that BenQ monitor and you could use that money to buy something like that DJI pocket 3... Its probably worth getting few uncomfortable comments, rather than do mics for 130 sitting on your shelf 😉 I think ppl in general if they have the money should buy stuff which is interesting to them for reviews and then just sell it. If some product videos taking you a day or 2 to do, you could also get paid job and have money for things you actually want to support because you like them and see some sens in doing the review for them.

About the moza slypod.. Iv seen just positive reviews but i was still concerned if it would wobble because you know it SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WILL. i was getting into product videography at that time and with s probe lens ANY wobble will show. Got the product, used it for 1 min 30 sec and sent it back , it was unbearable with the probe lens. Good product, nobody mentioned this.. got an edelkrone slider instead, everytime I had any problem they helped me out instantly.
