"Let me turn this around before the universe explodes!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 All product reviews should be done this way by everyone!!! Pototoe Jet has set the bar!!!! Ok now give me that mattebox!!!!!
client: can we pay you more money?
me: is there a way to use multiple matte boxes at once?
EDUARDO RUIZ ARELLANO more mattebox less camera
A matte box camera
Favorite TH-cam filmmaking channel hands down
Filming: "Cuts out glare"
Post: "Adds mFlare to lights"
Its about control. You can add flare in post but not remove it
Michael yep, I was just making a joke :)
Client: “Can we pay you more money”
Me: Slap me, I’m dreaming.
Me: Wait, you guys are getting paid? ;)
No we aren’t getting paid, we just dreaming.
You are right, I can't slap you so we all realy have to be dreaming :D
Holy crap! BARELY made the giveaway/notification squad deadline, because I worked for the last 10 hours!!! This filter kit looks awesome, and I’d love to have it! As usual, thank you for the opportunity to win it!
"I don't understand this technology" I hear this in every client meeting 😂
Me: "I need to save money"
PotatoJet: "here's a $700 camera accessory that's on sale right now."
Me: *sweating profusely while looking at my wallet*
Gene sure knows how to make me part ways with the funds in my wallet and bank account 😂
Potato jet is the hardest TH-camr of them all, no question about it
Me: watching potato showing us new gear
My wallet: ah shit, here we go again
“The gimbal is not even gonna know its on there”
That was legitness lol
Why is it that every time realize I’m in need of a new piece of gear, potato jet comes out with a video talking about it!🙌🏽
"It gets rid of flares.."
JJ Abrams: alright, I'mma head out
😍😍😍😍😍
Client: "wow, can we pay you more money? Would that be okay with you?"
Me: Polarpro just sparked my new businessmodel
Very COOL! Nice work PolarPro! Nothing better than companies continuing to make Matte Boxes better when you already thought there was nothing left to do! Excellent!
-"wow, can we pay you more money, would that be okay with you?"
Expensive gear DOES make it easier. Your gear starts booking your clients for you 🤣
Which is good cause you need to book more clients just to make up the money you wasted on the gear.
@@alpha.gamma.dingdong wasted xD?
"How a Matte Box could make you earn more money"
-Potato Jet
Love ur videos man!
As an aspiring documentary film maker this would be gamechanging!!! Glad to be part of the notification swuad, awesome vid as usual
The new Polarpro lineup: «The peter mckinnon ND» and now finaly the «the Potatobox» from Polarpro
I want that Matte Box and your balloons!!
THIS IS hands down the funniest and most interesting channel to watch about the gear or any tech for that matter! You are awesome man!
Production & customer : we need it.
Me : I still cant Afford it.
😂
“And look how cool this makes you look”
“You can take the it off on a gimbal!!!!”
never knew how much i wanted or needed a matte box til watching this video, your content rocks!!
I really hope polar pro continue to make a range of filters for this system. It's a shame they went the Apple route with this matte box. Considering it's aimed at indy creators the whole system is still a bit pricey imo.
Resale value will never be as good as industry standard gear and there is no cross compatibility so renting/trading/borrowing common filters will not be possible.
I could see this being bought for a specific use; like a gymbal/stabilised rig because of the slim form factor, or a rig for documentary film making where the variable ND could come in clutch.
But bloody hell man, £750! I'll stick to my cheap matte box and second hand Tiffen 4x4s
“Can we pay you more money?" I need more money, so I guess I need a matte box.
Every time I think we've reach a point where everything is so perfect, there's always a designer or an engineer that thinking "Hmm... I think I can make this better... like a million times better!". And then they do! So freaking awesome 🤘🏻
Me: Sees another Potato Jet Video with Gear
Wallet: We don't have the budget for that
Me: Eh yeah we do
I never win, and its been 11 hours since you were live. btw still don't understand how come you don't have more than 1 million subs.
Bro......I need that for my Gimbals...This is what I have been waiting for. Polar Pro ALWAYS makes DOPE product
"The gimbal won't even know it's there"
*takes off matte box front and gimbal falls back
He means when the gymbal is on though.
“The gimbal is not even gonna know it’s there”
The gimbal: wait... that’s illegal
Yo potato. Thanks for saving the universe from collapsing on itself. Love your videos Gene.
PotatoJet: "Can we please pay you more money?"
Me: "My lord is that legal?"
Mattebox: "I will make it legal."
Gene: This matte box is a gimbal operators dream matte box.
Ben: Types this message, in hopes he wins the giveaway.
Holy smokes this is exactly what I've been looking for. Amazing device. And I really like the modular aspect of it. Solid!
Gene: "Can we please cut it with the moustache jokes"
Gene also: ...Plucks the moustache :D
*Gene Reading off-script client gave him* "It has a very low refra-refractive index"
Me: I see
The mattebox makes every setup so much cooler!
Potato: "the client would be like, can we pay you more?"
Me: ah shit a need that matte box
When I can afford the camera I’ll try this 😂
You're right about how it makes the camera look so much more professional
What's the point of using ND filters when you can add motion blur in post! By adding motion blur in post, you will also have the option to digitally stabilize your footage without artifacts. :)
Wait are you for real? 😂
Did I just discovered a filmmaking virus? 😂
Honey no.
Huh
@@moseslarios1773 I mean when the budget is low, no ND can be better than cheap ND, lol
Who else doesn't even have a camera but still watches this
Polarpro is crushing it when it comes to accessories for keep it up! A big fan since you launch the ND for the Phantom 4's!
"Its relatively cheap". I strongly disagree. Strongly.
“Pay me more money, is that all right with you?” .... uh yeah
No. I would like you to have them. It's ok!
This Matte box looks insane, good Job PolarPro!
The dreams of every Asian man: “I wish I could get a full beard”
That was awesome! The stache jokes were hilarious. You are still the man though! Keep up the great work.
I'm fairly certain that I just watched a 8m55s ad and I didn't mind one bit. Great info. I'm just glad Potato Jet didn't promote the Shamwow and the Snuggie because I would have bought those too.
That matte box alone is beautiful to look at; they really thought it through.
After the shoot I was on, using a huge lens clamp matte box....this is a God Send!
That filter is awesome! Keep up the content, I never find it short of entertaining and educating 👍
It's nice to see more affordable matte boxes coming out I payed $250 for my firs mattebox and it really changed the way people perceive the value of your camera 😆
my life is getting brighter and brighter please give me that PolarPro Basecamp
love how he talks about the coolness if the gear lol specs are important, does it look cool?? that's so important!!!
OOOHHHH - it looks so, so, CINEMATIC! (IT actually does look really cool - and it's functional!)
Do you think a matte box will fit a tiny mirrorless like an EOS M with Cine-converted FD Lenses?
Now this is a matte box worth getting. Send one my way let's become matte box buddies 😁
This is actually pretty cool. I like that it can fit on pretty much any lens
It will be interesting to see how much they expand their filter lineup in the future since it’s a closed end system. They have the main things covered so far.
Oh man this matte box is a true dream! Having the Movcam M-A1, the size and portability would be an amazing switch up, might have to look into PolarPro for sure
Would love to see some extended clips of the matte box in action. Maybe some clips using it in various situations and demonstrating the value added to your footage! Thanks!
The matte box more money thing is so true. Whenever I go anywhere with my camera, I bring my matte box even if I don't need it. Loads of people try and give you their business cards. When I don't have my mattebox, I swear I don't have as many people handing me their business cards.
This would go perfect with my black magic 4K that I’m buying Friday
Notification squad on duty 🤚🤚
Young cinematographer in big need of a cool mat box to look legit
That matte box better be coming my way with jet speed, Mr. Potato Jet.
So sick! I’ve been thinking about a matte box set up for too long. I think this is the one.
Aww he cut his hair. So adorable.
Love that Mattebox😍 I want one
Potato Jet, the man, the myth, the legend.
Thank you for the video Jean!
I would love this filter kit for my Sony a7sii, so I can see during the day and night 😋
A matte box is something that I have never considered before. Thanks for giving me G.A.S.
Matte boxes. I never thought I’d genuinely enjoy a video about them, but just did. I need to upgrade my life and find some more interests. 😂
Really love your self ironi and humor.
Man, 12hrs is tough. Got home from work at the 13hr mark as Im in NewZealand! That is sic, and a great price. Im just starting out and love the way that it looks pro. Keep up the videos.
Ay yo, Mr Potato. I'm currently only using screw-on variable ND's, so having this Polar Pro kit would definitely help me flex for my clients and friends. If you send it to me in Tasmania I'll let you come hang out with our chickens and Beemo the beagle.
Potato Jet "And even if you flip it upside down or shake it out or whatever...It's not coming out."
Michael Scott "That's what she said."
Would LOVE the kit BTW. 😉
PJ your knowledge is in depth and super legit! Keep it coming bro
Came out just as I was ready to get a matte box for my rig. Looks good!
"Wow! Love the innovation going on in the film industry. What a time to be alive!" - VISA
I really need that for my new Pixel XL. It's gonna take me to the next level!!
5:10 that's awesome
This looks perfect for skiing.
What a cool product
Hey Potato, looking for some accessories to start with! I am on the wrong side of cinematography, with a Nikon and obviously no budget: everything that could help me get started would be AWESOME.
Yeah! Keep the good work going 😁
Gene love your videos man! PolarPro is killing it with that matte box. Would look great on my pocket 4K with Sigma 18-35.
Don’t let the stache haters get to you!
WITHIN THE FIRST 12 HOURS OF THIS VIDEO GOING LAAAAAAAYV!
Hi from Australia mate, love your channel and dam I need that matte box! I’m working hard to create videos with a stage 4 bowel cancer survivor, who is doing great by the way, and we’re doing our best to create good content with limited gear. You helped me decide on the Canon EOS R and I love it but that new filter would make it soooo much better!
I WOULD LOVE THAT MATTE BOX!! I love your videos potato
Great video, had no idea that matte boxes were so useful until now!
Ive been shopping for a Matt box I just bought my first red camera red raven and all I have is photo glass this is perfect for production!
This Matte Box might be the GOAT
cool stuff. always to see new things from the amazing peeps at polar pro
This matte box looks sick, perfect for run and guns!
I need this!! I love your last reason of why we need Matte boxes
Adding a PolarPro Basecamp Matte Box System to my collection of camera/video gears will be AWESOME!!
... been contemplating a cage buildup to include a matte box... this looks like it will do the job!
Pretty sweet with the removable front box!
..wasn't too sure about the closed system but this has swayed me. Thanks!
your posts are funny and informative! Don't stop doing what you do!
