+Flying The Nest Meee! :D And on your channel as well! :D And on mine - taking the drone out for its maiden flight this weekend. ;) Have fun in good ol' Europe! :)
I've been slacking on my vlogg watching, but I was quickly reminded of why you're still one of the best Ben! Very cool camera bag bit. And now with the addition of the drone......next level! Can't wait to see what your creative mind comes up with. Love the return of the finger dancing! And can we just acknowledge how bad ass rocker Adrian looked at 9:40! Safe travels!
I've been hearing about drones for the longest time and always thought that I would never really find a use for one. I think I have just changed me mind!! Watch your extremities and have fun with that! Can't wait to see some footage!
It's SUCH a pleasure having a visit with you each day. it's also SO pleasant to spend time w/ someone who isn't so sophisticated that he can't get excited about getting a drone & letting it show. btw, DON'T play w/ the drone inside until u are VERY comfortable w/ it. All kinds of mayhem can ensue! (& never mind how I know that!!! ;-) LOL)
You're going to love the Inspire! Selling mine though sadly because it's ridiculously difficult to get commercial aerial filming permits in Canadian cities and I don't want the liability anymore. I might recommend buying / flying a cheap Pico QX quad first to get used to the layout of the flight controls - you'll be able to learn how to fly it aggressively indoors without worrying about bumping into things :)
I saw Jeremy playing live yesterday in Utrecht, Holland!! It was so so so amazing!!! Everyone that didn't knew him loved his show so much!! Had such a great time! :D
So excited to see costa rica vlogs because i started watching you when you were there last time and in my opinion these are one of the greatest vlogs i saw on your channel :) hope you have a great time
Thanks Ben! I've been watching for a bit, and am just really getting back into photography after a long hiatus and only just getting into vlogging. This was really helpful! :)
I'm new to the channel but so far I really like youe vlogs. You've made a ton of progress. Isn't it crazy to see how much you grow? I mean you did start off with a gopro. keep up the good work!
That is quite a haul, Ben. I hope to build up a nice collection of camera gear to go with my D3200 by Christmas. BTW, I looked up the camera store on Google, and as far as selection goes, Orms is to Cape Town as Samy's is to L.A. and B&H to NYC
***** Gotta be careful with using lenses made for cropped sensors on that too. I knocked my mirror loose using a cropped sensor lens and had to ship it canon to be repaired, took several weeks.
+Austin Mullins how would that happen? The only difference between lenses for APS-C and FF is the light coverage of the sensor, lenses for APS-C only cover 75% of a FF sensor
Hey Ben! I've been following you since the Rickshaw run in India and it's amazing how much you have improved. Really love the way you capture life, very unique :) Have you thought about coming to Portugal any time soon?
Hey Ben love the vlogs, just wondering how did you purchase a drone with all the new laws about drones here in South Africa ?+mrbenbrown stay Brownie👌🏼
I just bought the book :), thank you for the heads up on that. Ben, you move around an awful lot as do many other TH-camr's close to you, as a result you have more travel experience than many, any chance of putting your heads together as TH-camrs and creating something travel centric? tips, tricks, packing advice things you've learned along the way, eg, Moving all that equipment safely as carry on.
Waiting to see the "compass calibration ritual dance" with your new drone :) and kickass drone footage from costa rica and of lions head when you get back to SA :) Cheers
Eyyy, question... I currently have a 5d mark iii and really no lenses, besides the 50 and a couple other cheap ones. I shoot surf lifestyle kinda of stuff. I was looking at the 24-70 2.8 but was told the 24-105 would be better as a primary lens, at least for now. The mark ii is coming out and looks better. Plus the fact it has IS. What's your thoughts on this, what would you get if you were me? Cheers Ben!
So pumped for tomorrow. And yes that was the worst idea starting up the inspire one inside if it's your first time. But I doubt it's the first time you have flown one, or is it?
Planning a road trip with my best bros next summer here in the states. Going to drive from Houston, Texas to California. Don't know the dates yet but it will be Summer of 2016. Would be such an honor to meet you hope you are around the states next summer, wish you all the best and keep making sick video's! you guys are very inspiring.
its one of worlds biggest mysteries why Ben Brown doesn't have more subscribers, when his content is worthy of millions
Started off with a Go Pro and Powershot120, now look at you. Chuffed to see you've amassed all this gear, Ben.
Wooo yes!!! Who else is excited for amazing drone footage :D

If I ever found a place like Orms here in Atlanta I would be poor. There's no getting around it.

Thanks heaps for sharing your camera bag items Ben!!
If you have a crap day Mr Ben Brown vlogs will always put a smile on your dial. Just soothing to watch and that drone is wicked 👍🏻
Every single thing you can capture just got better. Can't wait to see what you do with the drone.
Sup Ben! Have you ever thought of visiting New Zealand someday? Think you'd like it there a lot to unleash your mad camera skills. Safe travels man x
Can I just say how much we appreciate you sharing this content with the world? Thank you, Ben, just thank you.
That bag is full of adventures. You're great Ben!
MISTER ZOOMY! :D Can't wait for everyone to see the next vlog! ;)
So stoked!

How often do you use the 70-200?
Maybe once a week
I saw Jeremy playing live yesterday in Utrecht, Holland!! It was so so so amazing!!! Everyone that didn't knew him loved his show so much!! Had such a great time! :D
personally i think this is the best vlog you have made! (and i have whatched you for over a year)
Ben, I just got a new Canon EOS 700D!! Your my biggest inspiration and the reason behind me getting a new camera! Love you stuff!
+dhawmacinnes i have the 700D, great camera :)
+Martin Hayfield agreed. It's amazing!
+Martin Hayfield I'm very tempted to get it, is it good?
Or should I save a bit longer for the 70d?
James semaj no get the 700d or even a cheaper dslr and invest in good lenses!
+Martin Hayfield that's true, lenses are the main thing, and they're pricey
Thanks for the reply man 👌🏼
Oh god I got so excited watching you in that camera store. I want all that stuff.
These videos are literally my vibe! i cant wait to move to Cape Town next year!
That drone looks so bad ass!!! The footage you're going to get it's going to bring your content to the next level! Woo!
Congrats on the new drone Ben. The Inspire will make a great addition to all the great photo / video gear you have.
So excited to see costa rica vlogs because i started watching you when you were there last time and in my opinion these are one of the greatest vlogs i saw on your channel :) hope you have a great time
Thanks Ben! I've been watching for a bit, and am just really getting back into photography after a long hiatus and only just getting into vlogging. This was really helpful! :)
i am going to Cape Town in December, i now know how Cape Town looks and what the best shops are! Thanks Ben, i'm really looking forward going there!
Also carry summer clothes, we have summer in December :)
+Tashie J Yeah i know, I'm really hyped to go there! it looks so beautiful!
+Lucas Wedel it really is! :) just moved here because of uni
On days like this, you and your blogs truly cheer me up. Keep it up Ben Love the vlogs x
vlogs*
Sooo jealous of your gear, Ben, you have an awesome range of stuff. Can't wait to follow your trip to Costa Rica! Safe trip.
I'm so excited to see what you do with the drone!
Thanks for showing us! Also, have you ever thought about getting a Super 8 film camera? Would love to see what you do with one of those...
Love the camera setup!
Seeing Jeremy in SF tonight! It's 1am Thursday here haha For now I'll go back to this all nighter finishing up my midterms!
Hahahaha, super excited to see the next vlog 😁 that drone looks savage
5:14 - please can someone tell me what this 'mini tripod' is called? can't find it anywhere and i think it would be really cool to do POV shots
So pumped for you to be heading back to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!!
Awesome gear Ben!! I just got my dslr for Christmas, a Canon 100D
I'm new to the channel but so far I really like youe vlogs. You've made a ton of progress. Isn't it crazy to see how much you grow? I mean you did start off with a gopro. keep up the good work!
NotYourAverageJoe welcome to the channel!
That is quite a haul, Ben. I hope to build up a nice collection of camera gear to go with my D3200 by Christmas.
BTW, I looked up the camera store on Google, and as far as selection goes, Orms is to Cape Town as Samy's is to L.A. and B&H to NYC
You have some pretty serious gear there and now the drone! Nice!
Crazy camera store. Crazy camera gear. Absolutely worth it. Great job Ben :D
Hi Ben, where did you get your camera strap from please? Thank you!
it makes me emosh how proud i am, as a viewer, of how well you're doing
Loved the gear talk!!! And YESSSSSS to finger dancing action! Keep up with that Ben :)
When you guys were playing with the drone and both freaked out. Adrian's "oh my God" cracked me up
I'm so glad you mentioned that Jeremy is going back to Europe!! I just bought tickets and I'm so excited!!
Waking up to a new vlog is the best thing ever
Ben, how do I get / make that little fluffy (wind guard) thing on top of your vlogging camera? Is their a video somewhere?
Yes, Ben!! Looking forward to future drone videos!
No idea how long ive been waiting for this!!!
Nice gear man! What do you use the Nikkor lens for? I didn't see a Nikon body in this video...
+Adam Tan Bro! All Canon uses are secretly in love with Nikon glass - they just don't like to admit it...
Tim Palman Hahahaha so true, still not sure what it's for though...
+Adam Tan Same question..
+Tim Palman its the other way around. Try getting f1.2 in nikon glass.. oh wait...
+Zac Rockwell
if it is manual, they are no problems... (50,55,58 noct)
Looking forward for the new vlogs here in Costa Rica! Hope you have fun!
Love the way all the camera things look placed out like that, looks sick :)
keep adrian in the vlogs forever, hes such a sweetheart
Thank you for the vlog Ben! Better late than never :) Have a great time in Costa Ricka and good luck with your film!
Great blog! Where did you purchase your awesome camera strap? Thx :)
I cringed seeing you leave the mirror on the 5d open to the room. SOOOO much dust on the mirror and sensor.
Yeah I cringed as well, especially because it's a £1000+ body
It's fine, it was only off for that clip, it's pretty old and battered anyway.
+Mr Ben Brown ah ok ;)
***** Gotta be careful with using lenses made for cropped sensors on that too. I knocked my mirror loose using a cropped sensor lens and had to ship it canon to be repaired, took several weeks.
+Austin Mullins how would that happen? The only difference between lenses for APS-C and FF is the light coverage of the sensor, lenses for APS-C only cover 75% of a FF sensor
Finally things are gonna get interesting again.cant wait for the new drone to make an appearance,Costa Rica here we go!
Hey Ben! I've been following you since the Rickshaw run in India and it's amazing how much you have improved. Really love the way you capture life, very unique :) Have you thought about coming to Portugal any time soon?
already have tickets for the Toronto show!!!
The show last night was so great! wore my Work in progress shirt! represent!!
Hey Ben love the vlogs, just wondering how did you purchase a drone with all the new laws about drones here in South Africa ?+mrbenbrown stay Brownie👌🏼
Yesssss I love perving on camera gear! :)
Love the knolling, Adam Savage would be proud. Also on Adam Savage, I'd recommend watching some videos he's done with Tested about drone safety.
I love all your cameras, dude.
Can't believe it is Vlog Ep.778.
I am your new subscriber when Casey take me here.
Whats the song playing at 9:19? i've heard it loads but don't know what its called!
Thank you so much for doing this video 😊 ❤️
Great vlog, stoked to see the drone footage!
Nice! I've been waiting for some sort of "whats in my camera bag". So, what lens was mounted to the FS700?
so jealous of that inspire 1, wanted one since they came out, ive got an f550 but damn they are nice
I just bought the book :), thank you for the heads up on that.

Ben Brown knows how to make a good video, great job dude!
which song at 9:24 ? love the beat
+Ste Hessijames TNGHT - Higher Ground
This is amazing, as a photography student I would die for this! Haha
Waiting to see the "compass calibration ritual dance" with your new drone :) and kickass drone footage from costa rica and of lions head when you get back to SA :) Cheers
AWESOMEEE!!!! Good luck with a new film!
Eyyy, question...
I currently have a 5d mark iii and really no lenses, besides the 50 and a couple other cheap ones. I shoot surf lifestyle kinda of stuff. I was looking at the 24-70 2.8 but was told the 24-105 would be better as a primary lens, at least for now. The mark ii is coming out and looks better. Plus the fact it has IS.
What's your thoughts on this, what would you get if you were me?
Cheers Ben!
Ian get the 24-105 mark 2...very good lens
What mini tripod is that at 5:12?
I can't wait for the vlogs in Costa Rica !!Awesome vlog as always. Greetz from Belgium !!
Awesome Dude! Can't wait to see the drone in action!
I'm jealous of all your equipment! Hard work pays off!
Cameras Goals. Have fun in costa Rica bro. PURA VIDA!
what's the aperture on that older nikkor lens? & i'm assuming it's a cannon mount. I totally love older fd lenses.
So looking forward to the Costa Rica vlogs!!!!!! :)))) I Started watching you the last time you where there!!
Owner of a drone: Droner.
Reader of this pun: Groaner.
So pumped for tomorrow. And yes that was the worst idea starting up the inspire one inside if it's your first time. But I doubt it's the first time you have flown one, or is it?
Packing a lot just by looking how much all those gears cost.
Hey ben do u like the gopro session?
im thinking about getting one!! what you reckon
What's the name of the song on 9:30 during the finger dance?
What led light is that? It's quite compact and good for travel!
Loving the defender is that a 300tdi ?
Planning a road trip with my best bros next summer here in the states. Going to drive from Houston, Texas to California. Don't know the dates yet but it will be Summer of 2016. Would be such an honor to meet you hope you are around the states next summer, wish you all the best and keep making sick video's! you guys are very inspiring.
What's the light behind the guy on 7:00 min ?
Thank you!
i can't wait for some awesome video by the drone!!!! 💯👊
what camera do you walk around with getting your misc stuff / vlog. Smaller handheld camera I assume?
the inspire 1 is amazing! you might get the zenmuse x5r in december for the inspire 1 :O
That's some arsenal of camera weaponry.. I'm slightly envious!
ben, what pelican case is the one you use? and also is it a carry on? thanks!
What's the name of the drone you bought? Like make and model etc? :)
hey ben!! love your videos!! can you show me or send a link of who makes your intro? a good friend of mine is looking to get one done! thanks!:)
So excited for drone footage!
