+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! :)
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'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!
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! :)
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)
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
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
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!
I wonder if you only could go for three lenses, which option would you choose and why? 1) 35mm 1.4, 85mm 1.2 and 135mm 2.0 2) 24mm 1.4, 50mm 1.2 and 100mm 2.8 3) 16-35mm 2.8, 24-70mm 2.8 and 70-200mm 2.8 cheers, love your videos
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?
***** 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
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
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?
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!
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.
Ben! You really need to come to the Hawaiian Islands, bring that drone with you. We are on Maui right now for 5 days, leaving for Oahu (Honolulu) for a week then back home. So much things to do here, bring Nichole with you...
Wooo yes!!! Who else is excited for amazing drone footage :D
+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! :)
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
Every single thing you can capture just got better. Can't wait to see what you do with the drone.
its one of worlds biggest mysteries why Ben Brown doesn't have more subscribers, when his content is worthy of millions
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 👍🏻
Started off with a Go Pro and Powershot120, now look at you. Chuffed to see you've amassed all this gear, Ben.
MISTER ZOOMY! :D Can't wait for everyone to see the next vlog! ;)
So stoked!
Can I just say how much we appreciate you sharing this content with the world? Thank you, Ben, just thank you.
If I ever found a place like Orms here in Atlanta I would be poor. There's no getting around it.

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 👌🏼

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!
personally i think this is the best vlog you have made! (and i have whatched you for over a year)
That bag is full of adventures. You're great Ben!
Oh god I got so excited watching you in that camera store. I want all that stuff.
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!
On days like this, you and your blogs truly cheer me up. Keep it up Ben Love the vlogs x

Congrats on the new drone Ben. The Inspire will make a great addition to all the great photo / video gear you have.
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 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

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.
Thank you so much for doing this video 😊 ❤️
Yesssss I love perving on camera gear! :)
When you guys were playing with the drone and both freaked out. Adrian's "oh my God" cracked me up
I love all your cameras, dude.
Can't believe it is Vlog Ep.778.
I am your new subscriber when Casey take me here.
So pumped for you to be heading back to Costa Rica! Pura Vida!!
No idea how long ive been waiting for this!!!
I'm jealous of all your equipment! Hard work pays off!

Crazy camera store. Crazy camera gear. Absolutely worth it. Great job Ben :D
AWESOMEEE!!!! Good luck with a new film!
Thank you for the vlog Ben! Better late than never :) Have a great time in Costa Ricka and good luck with your film!
You must name the drone. Sticking with the Lion King theme call it "Zazu"
The show last night was so great! wore my Work in progress shirt! represent!!
Love the way all the camera things look placed out like that, looks sick :)
Awesome Dude! Can't wait to see the drone in action!
Finally things are gonna get interesting again.cant wait for the new drone to make an appearance,Costa Rica here we go!
Hahahaha, super excited to see the next vlog 😁 that drone looks savage
That's some arsenal of camera weaponry.. I'm slightly envious!
Watching this at 4 am from Florida
I'm obsessed with this video
Owner of a drone: Droner.
Reader of this pun: Groaner.
I can't wait for the vlogs in Costa Rica !!Awesome vlog as always. Greetz from Belgium !!
I wonder if you only could go for three lenses, which option would you choose and why?

This is amazing, as a photography student I would die for this! Haha
Ben Brown knows how to make a good video, great job dude!
Looking forward for the new vlogs here in Costa Rica! Hope you have fun!
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.

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.
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...
goals for camera bag
You have some pretty serious gear there and now the drone! Nice!
Awesome gear Ben!! I just got my dslr for Christmas, a Canon 100D
Great vlog, stoked to see the drone footage!
So excited for drone footage!
Ben, how do I get / make that little fluffy (wind guard) thing on top of your vlogging camera? Is their a video somewhere?
Cameras Goals. Have fun in costa Rica bro. PURA VIDA!
Love the camera setup!
according to your preparations for your secret projects i can tell that it's gonna be pretty epic, can't wait! good luck! :)
So glad to see that the harp made the cut.
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
i can't wait for some awesome video by the drone!!!! 💯👊
Sick vlog bro have been watching u for 2 years

Careful BEN, you may start an expensive addiction with that INSPIRE ;) haha
So looking forward to the Costa Rica vlogs!!!!!! :)))) I Started watching you the last time you where there!!
Nice! I've been waiting for some sort of "whats in my camera bag". So, what lens was mounted to the FS700?
Awesome vlog again Ben,i can't wait your Costa Rica vlogs! ;D
ur finger dancing is kinda one of my fav things.. yup that sounded creepy. cant wait to see u doing drone shots, gonna be epic!

This is sooo exciting !!
What do you think I should buy?
The 700d or the 60d?
The 70d is out of budget and you seem so experienced
Thanks:)
How often do you use the 70-200?
Maybe once a week
lmaooo sharpieing out the canon logo to just say "no"
Will you be coming to Australia with Jeremy next year?
Ben! You really need to come to the Hawaiian Islands, bring that drone with you. We are on Maui right now for 5 days, leaving for Oahu (Honolulu) for a week then back home. So much things to do here, bring Nichole with you...
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
