Kessler all the way! It will outlive you.

Thanks for the ideas

So, it’s 8040, not 8020?

If you are selling that smallrig plate, I'm buying it !

Mdrn Samurai I want to recommend a book for you, Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. Lotsa wonderful Stoic/Combat sensibilities. One readership warning...its a non linear tale, I think that's my only complaint. Its about Thermopylae.

You got it wrong. Armor is about post traumatic stress disorder. Felix in the story survives impossible situations by dissociation and his Engine is simply his survival drive taking over and fighting and killing while his dissociated self observes. John Steakley knew Vietnam Veterans and would talk to them alot. He most likely heard their first hand accounts of how they survived day after day of extreme danger. If you read the book "On Combat" you will hear many stories about how people in life and death situations in combat say that they feel like they are merely watching themself fight and kill - this is the mind separating itself from the horror of the situation to prevent you from shutting down and being killed. Stoicism has nothing to do with this story. People who havent suffered from post traumatic disorder probably just dont understand whats happening with Felix here. To survive the psychological horror, he splits off and lets his "Engine" handle all the stuff. He is so far removed from his own feelings and emotions. This is why there is a part in his book where they build the fort on Banshee and he begins to let his guard down and to feel emotions again - but when the Ants attack he can't summon the Engine again because he has broken down that barrier that separates his thinking/killing/engine self and his true/emotional/feeling self. He is then forced to feel the horror of the situation and it is crippling. This is a normal defense mechanism for people who suffer traumatic incidents and who know they must survive MORE of the same horrible trauma with no end in sight. It requires an extreme level of dissociation. To actually feel the horror each time would destroy your mind and capacity to function and survive. His dissociative abilities were the greatest, of anyone, ever. Thats why the book is called ARMOR - In reference to the psychological armor he has created around himself. The Engine, being that armor. Jack Crow also makes a comment that he believed he was the toughest SOB in the galaxy, but since watching Felix in action surviving these unimaginably horrible situations again and again and again - he says Felix has robbed him of the belief that he was the toughest man. Because Jack Crow and everyone else is suffering such horrible trauma from relieving the events recorded in the suit that they have all now gotten PTSD. This is why Jack Crow often spends nights drinking and then crying his eyes out in the arms of his girlfriend. THE HORROR. It never stops. But they have to see how the story ends for Felix, so they continue going in - this is trauma bonding.

This was very useful thankyou! I think I'll go with the smallrig cage system 👍

Great review. I will stick with the Smallrig though because I need a clamp lever off to the side. The rear clamp will interfere with my rear battery mount. I'll just have to be sure to hold the camera until the clamp lock is fully engaged.

Thank you for this nicely detailed and very thorough review. Makes it so clear between these two items.

Very well done! Nicely explained and demonstrated. Do more of these types of things!

whats the name of the extend pole on the left holding the long light? link?

Super well done review. Really helps!

How many mounting points are there, and where? - Does the camera move at all in the cage? My camera from Smallrig has two mounting points, on the bottom and one on the right side. I dont like it as my camera moves when I attach bigger lenses. Pretty useless

I would be interested in purchasing you 8Sinn Cage if available please contact me

Thanks for this video! I've had both of these rigs on my mind and haven't bought either because I couldn't decide! Now I know what i want. Do you still have the 8Sinn for sale? If so I am interested in buying it from you. My reason for choosing the 8Sinn is because of the optional XLR adapter they sell for it that will allow me to use the adapter with a handle on the rig. (Not possible with the SmallRig).

I chose the SmallRig for my S1 too. One thing to mention is that the SmallRig has an additional mounting screw that bolts the camera's right side steel hand strap eyelet into the frame. This stops the camera from flexing in the cage. So, it uses the normal bottom mount and high side mount points together. Yes, the SmallRig is VERY comfortable and extremely practical with it's side NATO rail too.

Thank you for creating this video. A clear illustration.

I have the Kessler and love it. Very secure and works as designed. (I do use smaller Arca plates on my cameras and they are difficult to adjust due the the pins catching the holes.)

New sub here.. u have a great video..keep it up

So it took you 6 month to put that desk together?

Lovely points regarding the first chunk of Armor. Greeting from Romania! Cheers and keep at it.

Loved Armor since I was a kid.

really enjoyed your video. fascinating history.

Hey intro music cool! Your section on memories is very interesting. I have done work with memory reshaping, or put another way, how the memories affect a person. Ofcourse there a great deal of research right now with helping sufferers of PTSD. M DMA and Ketamine seem to be proving a high high-ish degree of success along with being talked through things with a professional. My way of describing what happens, especially with a dissociative or VERY good hypnotic state, is that one is able to approach the memory with all its feelings and detach from it. With that detachment, work can begin that ends with a complete acceptance of the memory and associated feelings to a point it is no affects you in ways you dont want it to anymore. There are additional steps for reshaping the memories. GREAT VLOG

pretty cool... is it common to need to correct the raw footage or depends on lens/setup?

Thank you for posting! Very helpful. What did you use to do text on pictures? I like how your cover page has a title. Also, at 1:38 you have a bolder text " ...world is full of wonders." how did you do that?

Thanks for your videos, and the problem you mentioned we have forwarded it to our designer. Also if you have any further questions please feel free to contact smallrig@smallrig.com The two cages are: bit.ly/2r3SdI0 and bit.ly/2qE8BeO

great video man!

one of my favorite lines... "she's a God, like not actually fashioned from people"

Ghost Dog... nice! way to keep the samurai theme going... i was thinking today about a rebrand myself... cant wait to see whatever you and Maingear cooked up.

i rented Bubblegum Crisis & Bubblegum Crash several times from Blockbuster circa '97

i am not a reader so mostly TV like the Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt & Tales from the Dark Side. a favorite is an episode of (i think) the new Twilight Zone were we have invented a machine that takes us to other planets, but something goes wrong and leaves a copy of the woman here, but they can not verify if a copy made it to Mars or where ever. the operator has to "terminate" this version since there can not be 2 copies of the same person.

most of my information now-a-days comes from online videos like for tech i watch TWiT shows

I love watching your videos when I'm de-motivated to upload! Keep it up, I'm a huge fan!
