love the snatch quote. "Heavy is good, heavy is reliable, if it doesnt work, you can always hit 'em on the head with it"
He threw it in so casually too. Didn't mention it. Lol. I was thinking about the quote when he started saying it. So satisfying hearing him say the whole thing. Lol.
@@JakeLoeppky literally
I was trying to figure out what it was from. I recognized it but had trouble remembering the movie. I initially thought it was from Taxi Driver when the guy is selling him the guns. So thanks for the comment because it cleared it up and now it seems super obvious, haha.
Not one but TWO Neistat brothers uploading videos semi-regularily. Love it.
When Van makes a video it’s like a ritual to me. I save it for the next opportunity I have to watch it alone. Door closed, no distractions. Anyone else the same?
Same here!
same and obversely, I'd save all of Casey's vlogs to watch with my kids. It was our nightly ritual.
YES! His videos are the rare ones i can watch quietly, in full screen and normal speed, without skipping or scrolling through comments or recommended videos.
Yes.
Same here
What I love about Van's workshop creations is that they are so personal, they are not the perfect solution made in CAD and mass produced, they are Van's solutions.
This so much!
and this is why THEY are the perfect solution.
Van and Casey are such great storytellers. CZcams should promote more creators like them.
Check out deans channel too!
@@ACoustaDC dean who? Sounds interesting!
@@ACoustaDC dean has a channel?!
@@lorenzbuhler6114 Dean neistat
@@saviyou yeah and he's actually a pretty good editor. Not quite the storyteller that Casey and Van are but I like his channel and he's a very interesting guy. He's actually way cooler than van or Casey.
Seeing Casey and Van using the ZV-1 makes me love mine even more 🥰
Same here!
Same!!!
Yup, same. Feel proud now of the my little zv1.
Same here. Greetings from Perú.
@@Chapasa 👋🏻🇵🇪
This dude certainly sees the world through a different lens........and I say that as a compliment.
Brilliant, a perfect example of how ingenuity is born out of necessity. Your willingness and the effort you put into documenting your thoughts and processes are highly appreciated! Best regards
as a 35 year journeyman trim carpenter it both drives me crazy and fascinates me to see these two Neistat brothers skills or lack thereof when making things 👍
Reminds me of being a child in my dads workshop making weird stuff.
I think Van and Casey are the yin and Yang we need in the community of film makers. Keep it up Van
oh absolutely the purest creators of our generation!
Yeah, this video is basically "CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING" by Casey, but made by a poet. czcams.com/video/H6lWMsMjTgI/video.html
I love watching Neistats make stuff.
Your videos are a zen-like experience that give a break from the chaos of the modern reality.
I have made many plywood camera mounts. Plywood is amazing for DIY creations you can build with special features missing in store bought ones. They don't look as "polished" but function is more important than looks.
Both Neistat’s are so creative. Joy to watch & learn.
I love all of your videos but this one immediately gets a thumbs up just for the perfectly executed Snatch (2000) quote
"Tommy, is that a gun in your trousers? Where did you get it from? -Boris the blade. "You mean Boris the sneaky fucking Russian?!? A bit heavy init?" Insert Heavy is good, heavy is reliabile. If it does not work, you can always hit him with it." Van added "over the head", but he is forgiven. Not sure many of these young cats got the quote. Hey you, less than 30, go watch "SNATCH"".
The epoxy over the lead was a relief . Lead freaks me out as well. Good move man 👍🏻
Love that you quoted Boris "The Blade" Yurinov from Snatch… gold.
I just got a Sony ZV-1 as well as an option for vlogging and as a B camera when needed, it’s very versatile and has a great image in a small package!
loved the "lock, stock, and two smoking barrels" reference at the end there:) I need to go back and watch that again, soon:)
every time I watch Van, its like I get zoomed into his video and his style of making films...its great
So satisfying. The sound design adds so much. I've put my ZV-1 through hell it wasn't intended for (stays in my back cycling jersey pocket no matter the weather, in Florida) and it's been amazing. Can't wait for the stories you'll tell with it.
I love this guy. Such an artistic soul
Love that Boris the Bullet Dodger reference. Snatch is one of my favorite movies
6:07 - Great "Snatch" movie quote 🤜🔥🤛🤟
Sonyz 1 is awesome especially when you use it with catalyst browse to give awesome stabilization
your storytelling and your DIY skills to make things work better are what i live for in life!
Beautifully imperfect. Your maker style seems to not let over-thinking paralyze producing a solution
I like the way Van denies existence of go pro mounts and car mounts for regular cameras. Amazing movie as always!
@6:10 Casual Snatch reference. Such a good movie!
Loved the quoting of Snatch dialogue!
Your creativity and ingenuity amazes me
Interesting… I hate the GoPro mount since it is not the same as a regular camera… but my GoPro does not flip flat like yours does. Must be a new feature? (I have a hero 5, so a bit older). But definitely cool to see how and more importantly WHY you build the mounts that you build. 👍
So therapeutic and high quality
I just discovered your channel, Van. I’ve binged. I’m a long time seeker of inspiration and knowledge here, a soul who appreciates creative types doing it right. The it doesn’t matter. Your channel has immediately become one of my absolute all-time favorites. I admire the cut of your gib. Crack on!
Great video! I love seeing these simple solutions. Plus, I agree, that Canon TX-1 belongs in a museum.
I love the way your mind works.
What a pleasure and an honor to watch this stuff.
"Heavy is good, Heavy is reliable. If you it doesn't work you can always hit them with it". - Boris the Blade - Snatch
I love it! I always come away from your videos inspired to go out and create - thank you!
Nice work!! Love watching your vlogs!
thank you spirited man!
Excellent.
Beautiful as always
Love your pleasure in making things work better. Also, really enjoyed your Patreon Part 3 Respectibilty Tour. Watched it twice 😀
Love this channel, no talk of recessions, no BS, just being. Just light. Just art. ❤️
Love from India
I just found an old Bolex h16 in my parents attic that was my dads from years ago. This has inspired me to actually get that thing out and use it
Absolutely love the reference to Snatch
i like the filter that you have on your videos it gives them a kind of vhs vibe and makes them feel special
dude! this was awesome! I bought 2 zv1 in the last year. Great camera all around. Battery life is my only complaint, but the batteries are super cheap so I have a ton of them.
Great systems to optimize visual flow!
The only creator that I intentionally watch the entire ad(s) before the video so he will get paid. Just my little way of helping Van make his dreams happen!
This is such wholesome content in a world of folks pushing overly expensive cameras….this is a kind reminder that these are all tools, and what’s important is the story.
Always interesting.
A great little insightful story, as always Van. Thank you for making these.
I just want to voice a safety concern I'm personally having with hard and especially heavy objects when transported loosely in the car. Even worse in the height of the passengers heads.
In case of a collision these objects easily can become projectiles that can seriously hurt or kill people inside and even outside of the car.
Just food for thought, you do you of course ✌️
Thank you
Thanks Van . Your videos always inspire the maker in us
always a pleasure van
Incredible!
Beautiful!
Great line from ‘Boris the Blade’
Appreciate that quote from "Snatch". Van out here killing it!!
Loved the Snatch reference!!
Great purchase Van. I really love my ZV-1. It just does exactly what I need when it comes to CZcams films. Love the ingenuity of these stands!
I have such an appreciation of your ingenuity and craftiness. We are of the same generation and watching you hold true to the need it make it vibe is so wonderful. Thanks for the videos
Happy to AF
Love it Van thank you
love the Snatch reference! Awesome video as always
wonderful video, as always. keep making stuff! 👍
Wow so ingenious. You are an original Van!!
amazing the things you can create..
came here from casey's channel, I'm so intrigued by your story telling and way of making a video. Calm, inspiring and, mostly, fun to look at.
Great ep!
You are a genius Van, huge hug buddy !!!
✖ loved the nod to Bullet Tooth Tony.
Makes a 6:42 long video about wood, gopro mounts, epoxy, and lead and I'm here for all of it. Just shows how good ideas and storytelling are so often overlooked. I would watch content like this every spare moment if there was enough to consume, but we're not that lucky.
Love the way you brothers think
You’re such a delightful and entertaining weirdo and your videos are great.
Love the solve for the weight, but it might be worth double checking the package…CA banned the use/sale of lead fishing weights in 2019 as other states have too. Anymore, what you find at the tackle shops is actually tin. Low cost/low melt points. Looking at how shiny it ended up, might be worth an extra look (and peace of mind).
Great quote from Boris The Blade there!
Van blows my mind every time. i with i had half of his creativity. amazing.
Well done!
Love the Tom Sachs inspiration seen in these little camera mount builds...
I will now join the patreon once i get back to my laptop… you have won my heart by quoting my favourite movie ‘Snatch’
‘Heavy is good, heavy is reliable.
If it doesnt work, you can always hit him with it’
I quote that movie all the time.
Thank you sir, your films actually inspired me to maintain my spirit and to not loose it to being a gear in the machine. 🙏🏼
Bloody love this guy.
this was amazing to watch baked
So inspiring... Keep it up Van
Subbed for the Snatch quote at the end, instantly recognized it. Great video Van
How can such a simple video be so darn entertaining.
Watched this a month ago and now I have a ZV-1. What a dope little camera!
I have a Canon IXUS 220 HS, I don't leave the house without it. When I did, I missed a video. I like the 1080p 24fps video it shoots. The microphone in it is amazing. It's been used in snow, rain, heat (over 40°C) and cold (under -10°C). I bought a broken one, to have an extra battery. I bought another one for $5, for the battery.
Van makes building a crappy mount so interesting. He knows you don’t need a fancy anything to be amazing at storytelling.
Love the little snatch quote you worked in
You know your audience
Man when it comes to ur videos & own music it just hits different ❤❤
I love the Snatch shout out!
Love it.
Love a good Snatch reference 😊
Super interesting video! Thank you for making ❤
Such genius!
Such a great vlog. Like a mini movie. ❤
I always love the movie quotes “heavy is good”
Love the snatch reference
