Additional pro-tip for smooth panning: When you already have your elastic bands with you, throw one of them around the monopod handle and use the band to pull the handle and pan it. Totally takes out any non-smooth movements
Love that you didn't give up on your home studio! It's like a throwback... wait can you start a throwback Thursday?! maybe like refer back to old videos like a camera hacks part 2!
I don't comment often on your videos because they are packed with info that there are no more questions to ask, but the magic tricks at the beginning, great start!
Just struggled with trying to get my filter off for the past 30 minutes. I never would have thought your intro magic would solve my problem. You are full of surprises Peter, and for that I thank you
Thats because everyone is going on holidays, more time online... Just the same way that he talks a lot a manages to get 3 ads on his videos. This Guy... Super clever, love him
Pete you’re making the kind of videos worth waiting to watch when you can really pay attention. This is the kind of stuff decades later people will still be amazed. Thanks for staying true to what you do and not falling into the trap of making the same generic everybody does garbage so many tubers have. You the man!
Thank you kindly for the daily wisdom, positive motivation & information Pete. Sincerely appreciate it, as I'm sure most can agree! From a neighbour in Niagara Falls, ON. Cheers duder!
I literally just purchased a Sirui yesterday (waiting for it to arrive in a few days) ! I follow you Pete almost religiously & this post it so timely ! The fact that YOU say a monopod is so important gives my so much piece of mind on my purchase ! 😊 I bought my first DSLR about a year ago. Now I’m shooting ads & weddings (highlights) and I’m so busy & I credit so much of what I know to YOU. Thank you man. I really enjoy this craft 👌🏽 I have so much to learn but this journey is 🙌🏽.
Hey Peter! I just wanted to take a moment to give you some positive specific feedback. I remember seeing your videos pop up in my "recommended" section, and I watched a few thinking they were cool, but I wouldn't use your advice. Those were due to some of your videos highlighting ways to stand out on instagram. While I use instagram, it is really just a bunch of shots of my dogs. Anyway, as time went on, TH-cam kept recommending your videos, and I kept peeking in on them. I started to realize that you are much more than just instagram tips, and your passion, energy, and humor have kept me coming back for each new video you publish. I am digging the little magic tricks you fit into the intros now. The level of care you put in on every video really shows, and I absolutely love what you are doing. So, I just wanted to say thank you. Your fan, from the U.S. city directly north of Canada, -Jimi
I literally went out and bought an ND after your other video & then bought a monopod for my concert photos. but dang you're just a bundle of info! from every creator that watches you.THANK YOU
My son and I love watching your videos Pete! We both just sit down while he drinks his milk. Oh he’s only 4 months but he’s always so relaxed watching your videos 😃
Awesome video Peter! I just realized you posted this on my birthday! I told myself I wouldn't buy stuff on black Friday and 10 minutes after watching this video I'm looking at: "your order has been placed"
4:23 Actually you shouldnt use that to introduce more friction/resistance to tilts. That is a tilt lock. More expensive fluidheads come with a tilt lock and a separate switch to change the amont of friction. If you use tilt lock to get more friction it wears down the mechanism and may break even break the thing.
Very nice 'tribute' video Pete! I've bought the newer Manfrotto monopod and I was convinced, as you said, that I would bring it with me all the time. But by doing a family vlog, I realized that carrying that thing around was too cumbersome at times. So most of the time is standing there in my house, near all the tripods. But after watching your video, I'll give it another try! Thanks Pete
can we vlog on a video monopod? just picked up one recently, so far loving the fluid movements. i still need to clock in more hours on using it. i just only used it for the horizontal pan 😂 i bought this one first as it was way cheaper than a gorillapod.
Hi mate. I put my camera down about 5 years ago as work became to hectic and I couldn’t find time for a hobby I loved. Watching your videos has made me pick it up again and rekindle that love of photography I had forgotten! Thanks for the inspiration.
Can u imagine that some of us don't really care about your video content, but are just there to ear a "what'sup" an your intro B-roll... dammned good job dude :)
I have the same monopod.Can't live without it. My first Manfrotto broke after 6 years. Bought a Benro to replace it. That only lasted 6 months. Back to a Monfrotto. Happiness. I'm going to try some of these techniques! Thanks!
I am fairly new to your channel and I just want to thank you! You are a great guy, not only insanely good in photography but your personality just make this channel so unique and incredible!!! You deserve everything and so much more. Well done!
This is,by far,the best mono-pod video I've ever seen. Great tips, Peter. Great video as usual, but really found this useful. Another thing about turning a tripod into a mono-pod, if you have the highly flexible ones you can use one of the two free legs, or both, as stabilising handles. My manfroto has a lock off head so you can get those directional tilts. Does not work with a ball head. Cheers
I bring the vlogs back, people want tutorials. I make tutorials, people want vlogs. I film at the office, people want my home office. I film at home office, people want to see the office. LOL. So I just do whatever I want, cause, well, that's the whole point of this right? ;)
Haha 😂😂Totally Agreed! I should say that u r doing a great job keeping up the flow! and P.S. Don't always do what the fans want because u might not enjoy doing it. Like make videos where its comfortable for u! Who am i kidding, I'm giving advice to PETER! OMG I'm Sorry LOL, U inspire me soooooooo much! and Im JUST sitting here GETTING EXCITED ABOUT THE FACT THAT PETER MCKINNON REPLIED TO MY COMMENT FOR THE SECOND TIME! Thank u Peter, U made my day (even though its night 😂)
Great stuff, Pete! Been considering getting a monopod for a while now and this just made me question why I never went through with it. Definitely gonna have to add it to the arsenal. Lovin’ these magic intros too!
Hey bro! I love your videos no matter what they are. Vlogs, tutorials, old office, new office. Everything from your videos, whatever it is, I always learn from. I'm here for the long run and you got my full support. 👌🏼
Love this! WE havce been using this monopod on set now for a few of our videos and it makes a difference! Love the magic at the intro Peter. Smooth touch :)
This video is very useful to me as I just got my first monopod last week. Almost purchased this Manfrotto model but at the end I went with Sirui. Thanks for this, I love the low shot!
Something I do is leave all of the locks on the height adjustment loose, then use the monopod as a guide to do a nice smooth up and down move. You can do a nice smooth Jib like movement that way if you practice a little.
Nice seeing the old background Peter! Good video ...its funny to use gear in so many ways, I'm always looking for new ways to use stuff which make them even more valuable 😃
Please don't stop doing these magic tricks for your intros. So good.
Nick True - MappedOutMoney Agree 😂👌
They're the BEST
I just end up smiling cause they blow my freakin mind lol
Ikr
Nick True - MappedOutMoney Yeaaa Correct
You're killing it with your magic intros! Love them!
😊😇😇
Hi
Thank you
I really need to know how he does that!!! Seriously!!
For sure, a little bit of Magic is always appreciated! :]
*The tool every filmmaker needs:* it’s just Peter, we all need a Peter 😅
Katie Weinhold he’s not a tool

Filming someone named Monica with Mono using a monopod with a monochrome profile on a monorail would be funny :) K I'm done. bye
while doing some monologue
ohhhhh helloooo peteye petey you inspire me !
And eating a Monaco.
Peter McKinnon wassup Inspiration 🤩🤗
Don't be a M-acist Peter..
Yes I definitely need but my bank account doesn't allow it LMAO
Exactly.
TechRadicalTv you and me both!
I don't even have a bank account.
Lensman Neeraj alright man you win! Lol
Ain't fancy but the first one I used was a amazon essentials monopod for $19
Love that you didn't give up on your home studio! It's like a throwback... wait can you start a throwback Thursday?! maybe like refer back to old videos like a camera hacks part 2!
I don't comment often on your videos because they are packed with info that there are no more questions to ask, but the magic tricks at the beginning, great start!
You don't mention anywhere what monopod you're using.
Yeah, and the description has been updated so the links below are no longer.
Damn 😅
@@AndyGray157 looks like a Manfrotto MVMXPRO500US XPRO Aluminum Video Monopod
What all filmmaker need: Peter
Leon Truong trudat!
😂
if filmmaker need Peter Hollywood is doomed lol
yeah but the rental rates for a Peter are prolly a lil too high

Just struggled with trying to get my filter off for the past 30 minutes. I never would have thought your intro magic would solve my problem. You are full of surprises Peter, and for that I thank you
Forget the actual content of this video (which is still great by the way) but your vibe is awesome, brother. I’m learning a lot and loving it. Cheers
HUGE takeaway- its not about having every piece of gear, its about being creative with what you have!! SO DOPE! :)
So so so true. Filming on a budget is fun and it forces you to be creative.
Isn't that the truth for life in general!
Positively helps much...
Gosh Peter, mans on a super TH-cam upload hype this week, killing it
Thats because everyone is going on holidays, more time online...
Just the same way that he talks a lot a manages to get 3 ads on his videos.
This Guy... Super clever, love him
Fabio Freitas haha interesting didn’t think of it that way
Pete you’re making the kind of videos worth waiting to watch when you can really pay attention. This is the kind of stuff decades later people will still be amazed. Thanks for staying true to what you do and not falling into the trap of making the same generic everybody does garbage so many tubers have. You the man!
The light behind,the yellow ones ,hurt my eyes because they were adjusted to a sober,soft and diffused kind of yellow lights.great video PM!❤️
I actually have the same monopod myself and it’s insanely good!
Roberto Blake what’s up Roberto???
And insanely expensive
I've looked but can't seem to find out exactly what monopod it even is. Anyone ?
Dwain Henry Manfrotto MVMXPRO500
can i use it for my sigma 60-600 or is that lens too big for a monopod like this?
Everyday I wake up, drink Coffee and watch Peter McKinnon videos
and get inspired.

-You know tripod?
-Yeah
-One leg.
Hahaha!
Great tips, Peter! Now i'm thinking in one of these instead a better tripod. Love the magic intro!
Yooo, so glad Peter is back... been waiting for another tutorial :)
Loving that you start every video with magic tricks! Loving all your content too, thanks a lot. Love from Argentina!
I love that you started to add your magic into your videos. They really work, especially with your delivery!
Man, you're so inspiring🤯
100% love the manfrotto monopod. Peter is right this tool is SUPER HELPFUL for filmmaking. Don't wait, get on it, GET YOURSELF ONE!
Also everyone when you travel will constantly, forever and always, get confused that it's not a tripod LOL

Man...your channel only keeps getting better and better !
A hair on Peter's shirt's sleeve.
Me: *blows on the screen *
PETER!!! Can you make a video about crafting stories in vlogs?
Taylor Williams this!
Just checked your channel man! I have a lot of respect for what you're doing! Keep it up :)
I literally went out and bought an ND after your other video & then bought a monopod for my concert photos. but dang you're just a bundle of info! from every creator that watches you.THANK YOU
Peter, I've realized you've been doing more and more videos in your old space recently... I actually love it. That space is gorgeous!
when you are doing those really high shots with the monopod, are you just letting the camera autofocus pick it's focus point and hoping for the best?
Yep!
@@PeterMcKinnon how can you answer yes to an either or question???
@@Dewabarasunderan it’s not an either or question
Peter is a legend. Combining both his passion together, only a few have done that 😍😍❤️ LEGEND
My son and I love watching your videos Pete! We both just sit down while he drinks his milk. Oh he’s only 4 months but he’s always so relaxed watching your videos 😃

Peter...just make a magic video already! We know you want to
Fkn awesome!

Check out my Review about the Amazon Basics Monopod! I recommend! 💪🏻
Awesome video Peter! I just realized you posted this on my birthday! I told myself I wouldn't buy stuff on black Friday and 10 minutes after watching this video I'm looking at: "your order has been placed"
This, THIS, is a great upload Peter. The type that pushed you to the tippety top. Love it, Si.

Tuomas Rahikka dude's been using it that way for 8 years, but yea, your condescending ass knows more, right...
Creative Mofoo take it down a notch😄 im just saying doing that alot may cause damage and it may recude its lifespan.
Just bought a good benro video monopod a few weeks ago. I'm in love with it and what I can do with it.
I love it when you start with the casual magic tricks 👌😊

Great Tutorial Bru! Most helpful, I love those Monopods
Love my gimbal, but this is cool if you aren't traveling!
Why is it when I watch your vlogs and your intro already gives me the chills...
AHH!!! YOU ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TH-camr!!! I have learned so much following you over the years. Thank you!

For some reason I want to sing the Simpson's "Monorail" song and change it to say "Monopod"...
Who replays all of his magic tricks to see how they’re done😂
The inverted follow thing is magic. Thanks for sharing that one!

I LOVE these little magic tricks at the beginning of the videos, getting to see all aspects of Peter McKinnon
I love how you mix magic in with your videos.
Same music as pewdiepies outro :P
Brown Dovahbear Do you know whats the name of this music?
Give it to me now! Haha
Holy crap am I first on. PM video 😱
Nope just slow to refresh haha
Why do you reply on your comment? It is weird.
Valas Morghulis just felt like I needed to haha
we could be bestfriends 😂
Hey Peter you flawlessly broke that down, great teaching.
Great stuff, Pete! Been considering getting a monopod for a while now and this just made me question why I never went through with it. Definitely gonna have to add it to the arsenal. Lovin’ these magic intros too!
You're the tool I need ;)
Great stuff! One nitpick: PAN is turning left or right. Only left or right. You cannot pan up or down or forwards or backwards.
Awesome video, some of the best tips ever for aspiring videographers. Thanks a lot Peter!
I need to start putting your level of energy into my videos. Nicely done.
Cant stop smiling while watching your videos! Thanks for your optimism and great content. Love this
The tips and tricks you're always sharing are much appreciated.
Awesome! Angles I have a cheap monopod with stationary bottom leg, That ball bearing claw is a game changer! Thanks Peter!
Hey bro! I love your videos no matter what they are. Vlogs, tutorials, old office, new office. Everything from your videos, whatever it is, I always learn from. I'm here for the long run and you got my full support. 👌🏼
Super awesome hacks Pete.... appreciate your efforts for even the smallest of tricks...
Those shots of Peter using monopod🔥🔥🔥
On fire literally on fire🔥🔥🔥
I really love the content you put out man.. always stellar and informative
You always crack me up. I loved the part about the mono pod at the airport. Explaining it. I sure hope I can be half as funny on my channel someday.
Was wondering in the age of drones, are Jibs still used to make these shots?? And keep killing it!!! So smooth and BUTTERY!!!
How cool Your youtube channel is when You have more then 100000 views in couple of hours... Blown away, GOOD job mate💪
I was just searching for this info recently. Thanks Peter!
Love this! WE havce been using this monopod on set now for a few of our videos and it makes a difference! Love the magic at the intro Peter. Smooth touch :)
This video is very useful to me as I just got my first monopod last week. Almost purchased this Manfrotto model but at the end I went with Sirui. Thanks for this, I love the low shot!

LOVE THE MAGIC!!! It adds a lovely humor to everything! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!
At first I thought the tool every filmmaker needs was rubber bands. Good stuff Peter
Useful tips Pete...
Thanks for sharing...
More stories of equipment and how you started out would be cool...
i love when pete start a new video with magic tricks
Pete thanks for the awesome videos, sharing your tips and tricks and just being super cool
Peter, you're so fun with your little magic tricks)))
