He threw it in so casually too. Didn't mention it. Lol. I was thinking about the quote when he started saying it. So satisfying hearing him say the whole thing. Lol.
I was trying to figure out what it was from. I recognized it but had trouble remembering the movie. I initially thought it was from Taxi Driver when the guy is selling him the guns. So thanks for the comment because it cleared it up and now it seems super obvious, haha.
What I love about Van's workshop creations is that they are so personal, they are not the perfect solution made in CAD and mass produced, they are Van's solutions.
@@saviyou yeah and he's actually a pretty good editor. Not quite the storyteller that Casey and Van are but I like his channel and he's a very interesting guy. He's actually way cooler than van or Casey.
When Van makes a video it’s like a ritual to me. I save it for the next opportunity I have to watch it alone. Door closed, no distractions. Anyone else the same?
YES! His videos are the rare ones i can watch quietly, in full screen and normal speed, without skipping or scrolling through comments or recommended videos.
Brilliant, a perfect example of how ingenuity is born out of necessity. Your willingness and the effort you put into documenting your thoughts and processes are highly appreciated! Best regards
as a 35 year journeyman trim carpenter it both drives me crazy and fascinates me to see these two Neistat brothers skills or lack thereof when making things 👍
So satisfying. The sound design adds so much. I've put my ZV-1 through hell it wasn't intended for (stays in my back cycling jersey pocket no matter the weather, in Florida) and it's been amazing. Can't wait for the stories you'll tell with it.
Makes a 6:42 long video about wood, gopro mounts, epoxy, and lead and I'm here for all of it. Just shows how good ideas and storytelling are so often overlooked. I would watch content like this every spare moment if there was enough to consume, but we're not that lucky.
I have made many plywood camera mounts. Plywood is amazing for DIY creations you can build with special features missing in store bought ones. They don't look as "polished" but function is more important than looks.
This is such wholesome content in a world of folks pushing overly expensive cameras….this is a kind reminder that these are all tools, and what’s important is the story.
The only creator that I intentionally watch the entire ad(s) before the video so he will get paid. Just my little way of helping Van make his dreams happen!
This is a fantastic list. I saw one comment: put tools away to end the job. #6 and 5 I love. I learned #6 very recently. I started buying bags for trades: carpentry bag, plumbing bag, electrical bag, electronics bag. Great stuff. I'd add: clean your tools after each use. Re-grease, wash, dry, whatever. Matthew McConaughey interviewed after releasing his book: "Green Light" - I think it's called. (Paraphrasing): "Set yourself up for next time. Have the coffee pot ready with water for the morning. Coffee is green lit". Do the same for your tools.
"Tommy, is that a gun in your trousers? Where did you get it from? -Boris the blade. "You mean Boris the sneaky fucking Russian?!? A bit heavy init?" Insert Heavy is good, heavy is reliabile. If it does not work, you can always hit him with it." Van added "over the head", but he is forgiven. Not sure many of these young cats got the quote. Hey you, less than 30, go watch "SNATCH"".
I will now join the patreon once i get back to my laptop… you have won my heart by quoting my favourite movie ‘Snatch’ ‘Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesnt work, you can always hit him with it’ I quote that movie all the time. Thank you sir, your films actually inspired me to maintain my spirit and to not loose it to being a gear in the machine. 🙏🏼
I just discovered your channel, Van. I’ve binged. I’m a long time seeker of inspiration and knowledge here, a soul who appreciates creative types doing it right. The it doesn’t matter. Your channel has immediately become one of my absolute all-time favorites. I admire the cut of your gib. Crack on!
I have such an appreciation of your ingenuity and craftiness. We are of the same generation and watching you hold true to the need it make it vibe is so wonderful. Thanks for the videos
A great little insightful story, as always Van. Thank you for making these. I just want to voice a safety concern I'm personally having with hard and especially heavy objects when transported loosely in the car. Even worse in the height of the passengers heads. In case of a collision these objects easily can become projectiles that can seriously hurt or kill people inside and even outside of the car. Just food for thought, you do you of course ✌️
dude! this was awesome! I bought 2 zv1 in the last year. Great camera all around. Battery life is my only complaint, but the batteries are super cheap so I have a ton of them.
I have a Canon IXUS 220 HS, I don't leave the house without it. When I did, I missed a video. I like the 1080p 24fps video it shoots. The microphone in it is amazing. It's been used in snow, rain, heat (over 40°C) and cold (under -10°C). I bought a broken one, to have an extra battery. I bought another one for $5, for the battery.
LOL nice!! I love the subtle nod to Snatch. Gotta love Guy Ritchie. Also, I love your genius little inventions, they're rad, and it's awesome seeing your problem solving skills in action.
Love those camera feet. I use 3/4 pvc pipe all around my shop for standard cameras. For my iPhone I use magnet mounts and metal plates from Home Depot. 😊
Van your on another level I would love both of those cameras I just use a iPhone for my videos! Have a GoPro and a canon 80d but I get such good looking footage from iPhone 12 Pro Max! I use a late 2013 mbp for editing I’m happy for that for now
Super stoked on this because my Sony ZV1 arrives tomorrow and it's also my first ever camera. Been phone vloggin for over a year now. This was a big spend for me as we don't have that kinda cash laying around, but I feel a bit more confident in my selection since it now has the Van Neistat nod. From a guy one guy in his 40s to another, keep on keepin on and when you head down Mexico way we live in a little surf town called San Pancho in the state of Nayarit. Swing on by if you need a place to crash en route. Be well! Shaun in Paradise
Hello Van, I am a fan of Neistat brothers videos you are different but in a magical way you have the same magic to tell a story. But ( if I speak as a DJ) i prefer the music choices of your brother. Hello from Greece.
I have found that for most situations I can just use one of those rubber non slip dash mats and it seems to work pretty much perfect. The down side is that It doesn’t tilt but you could glue it to the bottom of your project for added surface contact with the dash rather than rubber feet.
Love the solve for the weight, but it might be worth double checking the package…CA banned the use/sale of lead fishing weights in 2019 as other states have too. Anymore, what you find at the tackle shops is actually tin. Low cost/low melt points. Looking at how shiny it ended up, might be worth an extra look (and peace of mind).
Almost every video I watch Van solve a problem that I have been trying to solve. His solutions are so simple and elegant that I inevitably have a face palm, "why didn't I think of that?" moment.
Back when photography magazines were worth reading (they peaked in the early 70s with Peterson's Photographic), I used to linger over the ads of New York camera shops selling used Bolex 16mm cameras. I always wanted one. Now, I'm not sure 16mm film is even manufactured any more. I'd still like to have one, though, but I'd use it to add more clutter on a display shelf.
Not one but TWO Neistat brothers uploading videos semi-regularily. Love it.
love the snatch quote. "Heavy is good, heavy is reliable, if it doesnt work, you can always hit 'em on the head with it"
He threw it in so casually too. Didn't mention it. Lol. I was thinking about the quote when he started saying it. So satisfying hearing him say the whole thing. Lol.

and this is why THEY are the perfect solution.
Van and Casey are such great storytellers. TH-cam should promote more creators like them.
Check out deans channel too!

@6:10 Casual Snatch reference. Such a good movie!
Seeing Casey and Van using the ZV-1 makes me love mine even more 🥰
Same here!
Same!!!
Yup, same. Feel proud now of the my little zv1.
Same here. Greetings from Perú.
@@Chapasa 👋🏻🇵🇪
as a 35 year journeyman trim carpenter it both drives me crazy and fascinates me to see these two Neistat brothers skills or lack thereof when making things 👍
Reminds me of being a child in my dads workshop making weird stuff.
Your videos are a zen-like experience that give a break from the chaos of the modern reality.
I just got a Sony ZV-1 as well as an option for vlogging and as a B camera when needed, it’s very versatile and has a great image in a small package!
So satisfying. The sound design adds so much. I've put my ZV-1 through hell it wasn't intended for (stays in my back cycling jersey pocket no matter the weather, in Florida) and it's been amazing. Can't wait for the stories you'll tell with it.
I think Van and Casey are the yin and Yang we need in the community of film makers. Keep it up Van
oh absolutely the purest creators of our generation!
Yeah, this video is basically "CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING" by Casey, but made by a poet. th-cam.com/video/H6lWMsMjTgI/w-d-xo.html
Makes a 6:42 long video about wood, gopro mounts, epoxy, and lead and I'm here for all of it. Just shows how good ideas and storytelling are so often overlooked. I would watch content like this every spare moment if there was enough to consume, but we're not that lucky.

Great video! I love seeing these simple solutions. Plus, I agree, that Canon TX-1 belongs in a museum.
I love watching Neistats make stuff.
every time I watch Van, its like I get zoomed into his video and his style of making films...its great
The only creator that I intentionally watch the entire ad(s) before the video so he will get paid. Just my little way of helping Van make his dreams happen!
Sonyz 1 is awesome especially when you use it with catalyst browse to give awesome stabilization
This dude certainly sees the world through a different lens........and I say that as a compliment.
I love this guy. Such an artistic soul
The epoxy over the lead was a relief . Lead freaks me out as well. Good move man 👍🏻
This is a fantastic list.

6:07 - Great "Snatch" movie quote 🤜🔥🤛🤟
I love all of your videos but this one immediately gets a thumbs up just for the perfectly executed Snatch (2000) quote
"Tommy, is that a gun in your trousers? Where did you get it from? -Boris the blade. "You mean Boris the sneaky fucking Russian?!? A bit heavy init?" Insert Heavy is good, heavy is reliabile. If it does not work, you can always hit him with it." Van added "over the head", but he is forgiven. Not sure many of these young cats got the quote. Hey you, less than 30, go watch "SNATCH"".
Love that you quoted Boris "The Blade" Yurinov from Snatch… gold.
Your creativity and ingenuity amazes me
I will now join the patreon once i get back to my laptop… you have won my heart by quoting my favourite movie ‘Snatch’
‘Heavy is good, heavy is reliable.
If it doesnt work, you can always hit him with it’
I quote that movie all the time.
Thank you sir, your films actually inspired me to maintain my spirit and to not loose it to being a gear in the machine. 🙏🏼
loved the "lock, stock, and two smoking barrels" reference at the end there:) I need to go back and watch that again, soon:)

I just found an old Bolex h16 in my parents attic that was my dads from years ago. This has inspired me to actually get that thing out and use it
I have such an appreciation of your ingenuity and craftiness. We are of the same generation and watching you hold true to the need it make it vibe is so wonderful. Thanks for the videos
Happy to AF
Love this channel, no talk of recessions, no BS, just being. Just light. Just art. ❤️
Love from India
Beautifully imperfect. Your maker style seems to not let over-thinking paralyze producing a solution
A great little insightful story, as always Van. Thank you for making these.

Just food for thought, you do you of course ✌️
I love it! I always come away from your videos inspired to go out and create - thank you!
Love that Boris the Bullet Dodger reference. Snatch is one of my favorite movies

i like the filter that you have on your videos it gives them a kind of vhs vibe and makes them feel special
your storytelling and your DIY skills to make things work better are what i live for in life!
So therapeutic and high quality
As a British viewer, I feel like I need to say that I appreciated the Snatch reference
You’re such a delightful and entertaining weirdo and your videos are great.
Appreciate that quote from "Snatch". Van out here killing it!!
Great systems to optimize visual flow!
I love the Guy Richie Snatch reference, classic
LOL nice!! I love the subtle nod to Snatch. Gotta love Guy Ritchie. Also, I love your genius little inventions, they're rad, and it's awesome seeing your problem solving skills in action.

Loved the quoting of Snatch dialogue!
I love the way your mind works.
Love your pleasure in making things work better. Also, really enjoyed your Patreon Part 3 Respectibilty Tour. Watched it twice 😀
Great purchase Van. I really love my ZV-1. It just does exactly what I need when it comes to TH-cam films. Love the ingenuity of these stands!
came here from casey's channel, I'm so intrigued by your story telling and way of making a video. Calm, inspiring and, mostly, fun to look at.
One of the few creators I stop everything else to watch. Form follows function is on my list of things to consider.👀
How can such a simple video be so darn entertaining.
Van blows my mind every time. i with i had half of his creativity. amazing.
Van your on another level I would love both of those cameras I just use a iPhone for my videos! Have a GoPro and a canon 80d but I get such good looking footage from iPhone 12 Pro Max! I use a late 2013 mbp for editing I’m happy for that for now
Starting at 5:01, that music. Whathat wild warpy music? I like it.
Absolutely love the reference to Snatch
Love the Tom Sachs inspiration seen in these little camera mount builds...

GoPro suction cup mount for the dash with adhesive base disc if needed
love the Snatch reference! Awesome video as always
Thanks, I have been thinking about coming up with a mount for cameras for the car, which gives me direction.
Hey Ya Van
In my world the motto is Happy Wife, Happy Life, she wanted one of your shirts, and just got the order number.
Thanks for all the videos
Subbed for the Snatch quote at the end, instantly recognized it. Great video Van
Thank you
Man when it comes to ur videos & own music it just hits different ❤❤
