Poor Kari just sitting there being blasted by your lights outside while you're talking to internet people with a big ass Sony camera in your other hand, LOL! She's doing the "neighbors are starting to notice" face at 3:20 😂
Potato Jet is my new favorite film tech CZcamsr, even more so than Peter McKinnon and Matti. Keep it up Gene, can't wait to see you rise to the top.
100 percent agree!
Totally agree!
True but I'm in it for the pets.
@@Warlock_UK Fair enough. Lefty is awesome.
3:11 Love how that cute dog is just so behaved while Gene is explaining something.
EVERYBODY reviews the same stuff-but I ALWAYS learn more practical, useful information from you-AND, you are much more entertaining while you are doing it. Are you an alien?
I wish I was excited about anything as Gene is excited about a light.
Casey DeLorenzo Or Tupperware. :D
Same
You're right, he look so genuine excited about it.
5:19
Gene: “Quick Run!!”
**forgets the light**
Really cool seeing this light being used OUTDOORS. Awesome.
I love Gene's energy! He is so happy all the time!
i love how genuinely enthusiastic you are about this stuff without being obnoxious!
I LOVE when the 🥔 🚀 posts!! Even when I don’t care about lights haha, just his energy is just what I needed today!
Me too. Lol! Dude must be the happiest guy on the internet.
You mean he lifts your mood UP?
LMAO @10:45 - The face and voice you make as you arm wrestle that battery.
Gene: "V mount batteries are expensive"
Also gene: **yanks every V mount batteries out of their sockets**
You are soo underrated! I hope you significantlly grow your channel whilst staying the way you are. Just try not going against your words... people find every possible mistake you have and memefy it
Stay safe! Potato
This channel is only going UP!
He has a vlog channel if you want more Gene
Juliane Cullo he’s great I agree
The dog is the coolest thing about the video. I mean this with love!
Even if I’m not a film enthusiast, I still watch Gene’s videos because I like the way he sounds so passionate about what he loves doing. His energy is contagious!
I have a DJI Osmo Action!!! I just recently updated it and it’s crazy how you can LIVESTREAM directly from the camera now! 🥳
Dude! How come you only have 610k subscribers and some of your videos hit 2M views?!? People are not giving you proper respect!!! You rule!!!
Although I have my own studio lights and I'm not looking to buy a new set, but I saw the video to the very last minute because I really enjoy it! Thanks a lot.
Potato helps me build my Photography / Cinema Museum with every video. Soon I will have to rent storage space.
That thing is powerful. Battery powered and bi-colored is a plus! That close up shot of your dog was gnarly 🙌🏼
Every time I watch video content about aputure lights I'm more convinced that they're absolutely killing it!
Learnt so much from just this one episode, thank you
Normaly I wanted to buy a new pc. Saw this video, entered the Aputure shop, clicked buy and now wait until it arrives 😂 thanks for the vide 😍😂🥳
SO GLAD APUTURE FINALLY DID A BICOLOR VERSION.
Why is it that I can watch a 14 minute video about a light I would never need and will never buy. The power of the potato.
At 3:09 Gene sets up a low angle upward shot, flexes his bicep, and holds his camera with one hand to make himself look buff.
Me: doesnt even have a camera
Also me: *checking bank account to see if I can afford this light*
Honestly, having some great lighting capability is fantastic, even if you only have a smartphone to film with. If you have a nice lighting kit, and you learn to use it just with just your phone, you'll have some of the skills needed to get good results with a better camera. But even then, smartphones can go pretty far with good lighting! There's a bit of a craze for trying to get the latest cameras with the best shooting specs, but honestly you can make a better, wider variety of short films with great lights and an entry level camera than you can with a premium camera and nothing else. If cool lights peak your interest, I say you're being totally reasonable.
Lol it happens to many of us
Matthew Andrew yess
@Matthew Andrew This is soo honest and true 😂😂😭
I would rather have an amazing light kit and a Panasonic GH2, than no lights and a Red camera.
Nobody:
Gene: The x stand for.... EXTREME!!!
This comment is starting to become meme...
i think it stands for crossfade
Lukas Stilson Arstad my guess is that X stands for variable.
X is for X-Ray ^^
@@2010SLP : that would be "n"
Aputure have designed a bi-colour version of their Bowens mount lights, the 300X (‘X’ standing for ‘Crossfade’). 😆
I had never seen someone get so excited about a light before
But it's reasonable, look at that beatiful light
Man, you crack me up. Been binging your videos during the pandemic. Your recent video demonstrating the speed of Canon auto focus convinced me to subscribe. LOL.
2:51
Kari's face every time Gene asks her if she wants a drink
You’re a legend Potato Jet!
Thanks, Gene! I've been trying to decide between the 300D II or the 300X. I'm sold on the X.
Side note: don't put the lid of one of those OXO containers in the dishwasher. They don't make it obvious, but it's not dishwasher-safe. I lost two of those lids to that; the pop mechanism stopped working and there was no way to fix it.
Mine is getting shipped Friday! I don't think my channel is big enough to warrant a light purchase this big, but hey...you live, you learn, you potentially take advantage of Adorama's great return policy, its all good!
it belongs in a museum!
That $80 Tupperware lid stays put better than the battery on that $1,200 light.
So good to see you using the Alexa!! I still find its image to be the best even though it is 10years old. Can’t wait to see another video featuring it!!
I love when Lefty is on the videos!
I just bought 2 non-flickering 55watts led bulbs that are very bright however there are strong blue and purple-ish tint! Very cheap though!!
thats exactly why you shouldnt want those haha
@@ProfessaJ lol
Just used one on a doc shoot. That variable CT was super useful in matching indoor ambient nasty fluorescents at 4000K. Enough power to balance and fill large bright windows @ 6000K daylight with a Lantern attached. Noticeable unexpected improvement in skin tones especially at tungsten settings compared to my Draycast LED panels-that are actually very good (97 CRI spec.) This is my favourite new light and now I want another.
00:00 - 9:39 - okay...
9:40 - 14:35 - am i watching a movie about reviewing a gear right now(?)
that image quality maaaann, gorgeous
Mr. POTATO!!!! I am honored to be here in the first few minutes!! Cheers, I love the videos!!
All hail the POTATO King!!!!!!
ahhhhh yes, another gear i will dream for for now hehe
jet gets as excited about light as much as i do.
I'm convinced, Mr. PJ is a fucking genius. Very bright!
Nice light I don't need it until I get a bigger place to make videos.
Mine arrives in a few days. Mainly a still shooter but more and more video being included in jobs. My last job the client wanted GIFs and I did a few of them as video GIF files and used Dedo and panel lights and that is what made me get the 300x. Just wanted more versatility and power.
LOVE THIS! Deffo going for bi-colour for the next light. Those outdoor examples were solid.
The dog is a awesome model!
Here’s me sitting with my Aputure MC all like “I can be blue if I hold it right next to my face...”
Light is awesome 👍🏻
Wow! EPIC of your doggie! 🐶
A screw I have no clue. So funny. Well done as always!
Love your morning hair style
Okay, I'm not going to hate on the oxo thing, I have a pantry full of them. They are awesome.
Thank you Gene for using Kari as your model. You need to use her beauty more often. You lit her well.
the bag for this light is better than the one where i keep all my gear
We just bought the Aputure MC. Quite a big size difference.
Those cinematic shots of lefty were dope as 😂😂
Others: watches *Potato Jet* for info and review
Me: watches *Potato Jet* in case he does a *giveaway* of his Tesla
I want to know where does he makes giveaways, like the winners announcement
Bishal Debnath hahaha true
No stop it! I've already spent all my money thanks to your reviews!!!!
P.s. please don't stop...😅
never noticed how much i needed temp control. now that i have it i love it..
I have an Osmo Action, ready to send a picture.
You should tell aputure about the Tupperware feature so they can alternate the battery mounts
Comment reading, best part of the video👍👌
X gonna give it to ya
I have osmo action and updated the firmware after I saw your previous video. Oh my God! Recording does continue during screen switch.
I’m a simple man I see New Potato Jet video I click then
Happiest goes “UP”
You have inspired me to get back in the photography and video making scene after a decade of not having touched my cameras, been binge watching your videos for a week now to the point that my girlfriend hates you, love them, very informative and not at all boring! Keep it up!
What is the brand of your backdrop and what are the orange and blue called if there is a specific name for them!
Thank you!
THAT NAME WINS ME OVER BUT YOUR CONTENTS ARE EVEN BETTER. I hope to get to your stage one day ☺️
Gene was super excited about the tupperware. Great review on the tupperware lol
I need the adapter for my osmo action! Love you Gene!
Sending you the Osmo Goodies!
Potato Jet No way! This will be super helpful for our business! We make promos for realtors and small businesses using iPhones and DJI gear. Thank you SO MUCH! And thank you for all your videos, we watch them all! I’m FREAKING OUT! Lol
Potato Jet How should I give you my address?
Action Jackson Promos email me :)
Potato Jet gene@secondlightcreative.com ? Just checking:)
Yeah I got the same Tupperware and I love it.
watching gene talk fast because he's soooooo stoaked on new gear. I totally relate lol! Just got the sigma 24-70 2.8 emount and I'm in love.
Gene is the consumer who knows more about the product than the manufacturer. Also! You scrolled past the comment I left on the last video 😢
We love Aputure lights, but always limited without having Bi-Color option. Definitely interested in picking one of these up soon! Another great video. 👍
@ 5:19 potato leaves keri to pick up the light lol lol
The containers are not Tupperware they are OXO, just to let people know if you are looking without the link. Also, love your videos, always look forward to new ones,. When we get out of lockdown and you come north to Oregon and need location help give me a call.
Nice to see the Jet with his regularly scheduled programming... I mean shenanigans. 😄
Gene: We gotta start budgeting during this quarantine
Also Gene: This light here is $1,199.00
Eduardo Soto lol easy
This is why I prefer gold mounts over v-mount batteries
I can always watch you when Peter forgets to post.
I see that refurbhished Arri Alexa Classic in the backgroud .... hahaha! Good video.
The X = Bi Color... The screw is to hang the slack of the power cord or cord to the control box.
2:14 you could use that as a id picture
Entertaining, educational! Always appreciate your stuff. This light looks doooope!
I have an osmo action, but it was 5 AM for me when this video went live
I think it'd be kind of cool to do like a video about the consumer cinema cameras of like 5-10 years ago. Compare stuff like the C100, Sony FS7, Ursa mini, etc. Maybe as like potential options for people who want cinema quality, and are willing to sacrifice some more modern features for a more affordable price tag. I dunno, what y'all think?
4:38 beautiful
Potato with sunglasses explaining about expert thing... what the first viewers would think hahaha
Sam ang Kari as models are perfect. No complain at all. :D
Everyone: Good Morning
Gene: Time to sleep
He filmed this whole over night
Lol 😂 yup
The X stands for xtremely sweet and xtremely out of my price range.
I HAVE AN OSMO ACTION! 🙋♂️
I do too. Are we competing for excessive consumption?
idk why, but your laughs are kinda unique
The patient of EVERYONE that is near Gene is amazing, I wonder how much time do they wait on average for one review video.
You beat me. I'm still editing my review of this beast! I love this thing.
HE FILMED IT WEEKS AGO DUH!
Wow, powerful light!
Gene should show us all the stuff they ordered since the start of quarantine.
Definitely purchasing one asap.
