Thanks for the content. I'm just beginning my filmmaking journey as a disabled vet that is looking for the best items I can on a super limited budget. Videos like this are priceless. Keep it coming.
hot shoe mounted top handles are fine on a bare body, wouldn’t use it with a v-lock as well. That’s a lot of rear weight pivoting off a small anchor point that also has electronics inside it. I’d go a lightweight cage if you want a top handle and v-lock.
Skater dolly is cool especially being 6’2” and a bad back. Trying to get up and down and chemo and radiation has been a chore and this would help!! Great vlog!
The roller dolly skate thingy was really nice. It is a bit hard to always take a piece of plexiglass with you but it does seem like a good product if you know your location and if the location doesnt move constantly. Love the vids
That V mount plate is sick! Been contemplating getting into it because I carry 3 batteries and switch often, but the adjustability looks very useful especially when doing commercial shoots!
What camera are you using? I had problems connecting the V-amount battery to my old Sony a7s III due to the dummy battery I got. Sometimes those things can fry your camera. Be aware of it!
With the 3 wheel short stand, use it for your bottom light in a clamshell setup. I use low lights to fill under the chin and a small stand is usefull for that
I have the first piece I use it. And I don’t use a suction cup mount. And I have a stand that holds a tripod fold up nice. The small rig handle is clutch. I have one and I use it for lights mics. One thing I did might work for you the hand you can mount you camera upside down and as well regular look. Budget grab a pole drill hole mount camera from top handle adds small view. I need a spin table. But good ones are crazy priced.
Another few dollar ultimate addition to the gear are *wire rope shock absorbers* . You can install one under a camera either on the skate dolly or anything else to make the camera work against the gravity on bumpy surfaces or even a drone.
I got push back on that bro LOL…I own that ambituful light stand and I gotta say it’s one of the better purchases that I’ve made. While it’s not that useful to use for a kicker light or key light, it’s perfect for using an eye lighter or strip box to fill in shadows from underneath. I’ve also used it to mount a manfrotto wall mount to use as a computer stand. It has its uses, while limited but what I’ve used it for it works perfect. Great videos bro, keep ‘em coming.
I have the Canon R6 and would love to power it and a monitor with a V-Mount battery. I shoot mostly video and if I'm shooting continuous 4K 60, the battery drains pretty fast plus overheating.
Straight up.. I'm just now stepping up my photography efforts and am so glad I hit upon your channel.. and while I don't know a damn thing, I got to say this work hits me.. it's polished, sure, but feels real.. it's inviting yet frank.. the persona you present feels genuine.. not everyone can do that.. and I feel like it's 'cause you're just being you.. you seem so comfortable in front of the camera that you come across as casually approachable.. damn how I admire all that.. something's wrong with this world if you're not seeing opportunities pounding on your door!
7:46 It may be useful as a poor man's gary coleman C stand, but if I'm only saving 10%, I'd save the headache and get a gary coleman. Especially for a campfire scene, I'd mount the key light to a short stand of some kind.
I bought one of those roller dollies a few years ago, but it was cheaply made and had seam bumps on the wheels! Had to sand them down, but got rid of it and bought a long camera slider instead. That turntable is cool tho, especially the weight it can handle 👍 I can see a few uses for that myself with my tech videos 👍😉
@YCImaging Wow that skate dolly really shocked me. Amazing shot. I guess it just goes to show that if you are on that smooth service it comes out superb. Great tip for that one. The care mount suction cup was pretty impressive. Much better then I would have expected. Great reviews. These two were my favorites.
Really cool video in regards to the small light stand on wheels it is actually amazing for photography. Because it is so small and low you can place it behind talent and light up a background or add a rim light without having it in shot which is very useful and is often preferable to booming a larger stand in and potentially getting the subjects shadow on your backdrop.
You can buy larger risers that can go into that spigot base of the rolling stand thing. Just chuck the tiny one it came with or try to buy just the rolling base, which looks solid
First time on the channel! Great ideas, suggestions, and feedback on each of the products. I've been wanting to test out some car mounts but been concerned about the support. Definitely will consider the triple suction to keep it safe. However, the motorized turntable gave me some really dope ideas.
From a Skateboarders perspective, the Skate dolly could be smoothed out further with a better grade of Rollerblade wheels in a very soft Durometer (I can see the wheels here are garbage in terms of Quality) and removing the rubber shields from the bearings could help also.... and maybe a bit of lead weight added underneath?, I might go have a tinker with all this.
Great review! You actually had a number of tools I've been interested in. The car mount review was on point. I have a two suction cup mount that I've been hesitant to use out of fear it will fall off, but you've given me some confidence to dust it off and create some b-roll.
I love that car mount too but it’s always a good thing to attach your camera to a safety line of some sort. I wouldn’t trust only of the succión cups 😅
Great video! Can you do a tutorial on how to do the speed ramp spin with the turntable? Also, you can use the skater on a folding table as an alternative to a slider shot!
Loved the video and have subscribed. I have a photography business and my son is a realtor. He asked me to set up a studio for You Tube. Odd questions but can you tell me the dark wall color behind you and where you purchased your gold table lamp. I love your set-up. Thank you!!
Have you ever had a problem from powering the camera and monitor with the same battery? A few years ago there were a number of people reporting that they had burnt out their HDMI ports by doing this. For this reason I have been powering my camera and my Ninja V’s with separate batteries. I shoot Multicam so using a single battery would be more convenient. Am I being paranoid?
Fairly new to the craft and I have to say that the dolly looks awesome. May be a good tool for my son who is getting into photography and filming as well.
@YClmaging...- Good evening. How do I contact you about tgis item I won? It has posted twice that I won something but I hear nothing after. Just a little confused. Thanks for your help and great videos.
The mini dolly looks great, I'll try out one of these on my next round of music videos. Your videos are a great resource, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Yooo I was going to get the same mount but I saw the reviews and got a lil scared. I went with Foyomont SC45 4.5 mount. The stainless steel base and it comes a knob to release the air and make suction tighter. I paid $50 on Amazon. Then I got the smallrig magic arm for $25. The magic arm itself holds my fs5. Without leaning or moving afterwards.
@YCImaging Hey man, any chance you could do a video on getting the most out of your R6's video capabilities? I've been struggling to make the log look nice but I've seen you shoot the prides interlude video on just the r6 so I know there's a way to make it look nice! I'd be really grateful to sit down and watch a video from the settings configuration all the way through to your grade on getting the most out of the camera! Doesn't have to be half an hour long, any time you can give to shed some light on it would mean a lot ☺️
The Vmount plate is sick, but the car mount is my favorite. I’ve been super skeptical of some the Amazon car mounts cause I don’t want to lose my camera
Is there a link for the ball head mount? I see they come in different mm size. Which one do you have? Taking advantage of prime day sale lol!! Sorry if I missed that info in the vid. Thanks!!
This is really dope. Seeing a vet showoff some budget options for the rest of us that can still help our projects - fire! Always appreciate your work homie @GastorAlmonte

While editing this I realized putting a gimbal on the skater dolly would’ve been a game changer!
I was thinking the same thing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was finna say dat
I was thinking about that when I first seen it and for the record that's my favorite product! 💯
I feel like it would be perfect for Dji osmo mobile gimbals
great idea for the next video!
Thanks for the content. I'm just beginning my filmmaking journey as a disabled vet that is looking for the best items I can on a super limited budget. Videos like this are priceless. Keep it coming.
Where are you based brother, I’m a Vet in Austin, TX
Bro, I literally just picked up one of those skateboard things the other day. on a level, back a gimbal on it and it works like gold.
Bro I thought about this while I was editing this project, missed opportunity for sure! I’m gonna try that out tho.
On a level, back a gimbal on it? Why not just speak English
7:19 I use it for a bottom fill light when doing headshots.
Every product you presented would be amazing to use in the wedding industry. Thank you so much for showing what these products can do!
10:58 I think im going to get the top handle! With my bad hips and back, I need it! Football and weight lifting took a toll on me.
I just bought my first cam, a Cannon 90D. Thanks for info video. It really helps. Have a great day.
My boy getting busy early ✊🏾💯
Oasis of relaxation….calm voice and great tips, minimalistic studio design. I love your channel, always a pleasure coming back
Completely agree. Very easy presentation to watch. Like the ambience and style :)

With Prime Day approaching next week, this adds even more value to your video.
I had been considering getting a car mount and a top handle thanks for the recommendations bro
I like shorty light stands for book lights and background lights, especially hiding a light behind an interview subject
That's some nice validation.
I was looking at the skate dolly last night and was wondering if I should try it. Bam…perfect timing!
Have a small dolly... adding a handle simplifies wrk flow. Adding one 4 sure 🤜🏽🤛🏼
@YClmaging3.. yoo! 🤜🏽🤛🏾
You always find some cool filmmaking gear for those who can't spend alot... You're the goat, keep doing your thing.

I love my top handle but I just wish I had a cage to attach it to. I've damaged my hot shoe before when I dropped my camera and it's a pain to fix.
I bought from aliexpress for 12$ in 2012 and used many times. I atached gimbal into wheely makes it crazy stable and smooth
I got push back on that bro LOL…I own that ambituful light stand and I gotta say it’s one of the better purchases that I’ve made.

Great videos bro, keep ‘em coming.
7:27 you can use it to booklight
I use a different camera for my stuff but I love what you’re doing with all this gear!
I have the Canon R6 and would love to power it and a monitor with a V-Mount battery. I shoot mostly video and if I'm shooting continuous 4K 60, the battery drains pretty fast plus overheating.
@daelytemedia, I've people use those stands for like rolling youtube setups with everything attached, crazy how short it is though.

@YClmaging_0.. Awesome.. just let me know some next steps.
I was literally looking for some type of dolly and saw your post. Just ordered! Thanks for the jewels!
That skater dolly is really only usable on a clean flat surface. Top handle, I only use that on a cage. Feels a bit tricky when I put it on the cam.
I have one and used it on a table surface to film an arc dolly shot with my 5D Mark lll many years ago. I also made DIY rail system.
7:46 It may be useful as a poor man's gary coleman C stand, but if I'm only saving 10%, I'd save the headache and get a gary coleman. Especially for a campfire scene, I'd mount the key light to a short stand of some kind.

The light stand would be good at that height for the Clamshell light reflector.
Wrapping sticky foam strips on the wheels of the floor roller might help over ruff surfaces.
YCImaging! It’s been along time. Also, I’m glad you’re still creating!
I could see using a few of these . I agree the skater dolly would be a welcome addition to my gear.
@YCImaging Wow that skate dolly really shocked me. Amazing shot. I guess it just goes to show that if you are on that smooth service it comes out superb. Great tip for that one.

The skating dolly and the suction cups were elite i liked the top handle
3 wheel stand would be great for microphones. Foley, amps. Also table top use?
@YClmaging.. wow! thanks! how do we proceed
subscribed before watching as a fellow youtuber (waaaaaay smaller channel) and new film student at Full Sail.
Ive been learning from you from Madrid, Spain. LOVE your stuff. Thanks for they great work you do
@YClmaging. That is so great! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to tell my kid
Another good video sir. I was wondering about the car mount but I definitely need a v Mount battery from my stuff.
The car mount looks interesting! Been wanting to try one for a while but my camera might be too heavy. Maybe one of my DSLR cameras?
I think the motorized turntable would be a great buy and really help out in my product videos.
for the top handle, pls use it with a cage, i used mine for about 3 months and the hot shoe became lose and it was a lighter setup than yours shown
Bro. You’re a genius. 🔥
Bruh, you're like an Eagle..always on the hunt👊🏾. I appreciate the share.👍🏾
This channel is such a breath of fresh air ❤🎉
This was a great video and I definitely put a few in my Amazon cart. I've been making rigs lately but these ones would definitely come in handy THANKS
@YClmaging1.. what did I win
I've seen those mini stands with wheels used for dana dollys
First time on the channel! Great ideas, suggestions, and feedback on each of the products. I've been wanting to test out some car mounts but been concerned about the support.

The Skater Dolly was the dopest I’m placing an order now.
@YClmaging1. Well, that's Awesome on this Monday!!!!
@YClmaging1. What's next to receive the Gift?
@YClmaging..... This is awesome, what is the item and how do I get it?
With the 2' stands, I use it for my slider. Slider on wheels.
@YClmaging. Awesome! So now what?
@YCImaging Thank you 🙏 But what’s the next step?
LOVE the videos man. Can you please make one about how to charge for music videos? Like how to determine how much to charge?🔥
Great review! You actually had a number of tools I've been interested in. The car mount review was on point. I have a two suction cup mount that I've been hesitant to use out of fear it will fall off, but you've given me some confidence to dust it off and create some b-roll.
I love that car mount too but it’s always a good thing to attach your camera to a safety line of some sort.
I wouldn’t trust only of the succión cups 😅
I like that roller thing! I can make one of those with some things I already have in the garage 👌🏽
Great video! Can you do a tutorial on how to do the speed ramp spin with the turntable? Also, you can use the skater on a folding table as an alternative to a slider shot!
@YClmaging. Could not figure out how to contact you on Telegram?
actually very creative products. not like i’ve seen before in one video. keep it up!
DOPE FINDS. BRO ALWAYS INFORMATIVE WORK 👌
Great review! I can see how all of those can come in handy in certain situations.
Where did you get the handle for the dolly?
Really!? Wow! Thanks.
What do you need from me?
Hi thanks for the video! I both 2 of that wheel stands and I use it with my slider and it’s great dor that my friend
Wait this is genius!
If you love top handles, you should check out the Falcam F22 top handle with the wooden style handle. Absolutely love the grip feel of it
Great video … all the gizmos and gadgets I see on Amazon, but always wonder if any of them are any good.
I would buy that light stand for tube lights.
Thanks, I'll take some ideas from this video to try to make some of those tools by myself.
Just one to level up my videos.
Was looking for a dolly like this and instantly ordered it😅 thank you!
Excellent informative and enjoyable video. Thank you. Keep on being you!
Ive been watching your videos for awhile.you put out a lot of dope content. This video is extremely informative on awesome cheap film gear.
Loved the video and have subscribed. I have a photography business and my son is a realtor. He asked me to set up a studio for You Tube. Odd questions but can you tell me the dark wall color behind you and where you purchased your gold table lamp. I love your set-up. Thank you!!

@YClmaging.. Thats cool. What would that be?

@YClmaging...- Good evening. How do I contact you about tgis item I won? It has posted twice that I won something but I hear nothing after. Just a little confused. Thanks for your help and great videos.
Early morning YC!!
May I know what monitor you are using currently? Thanks and dope video as always!
Keep rolling out the gear vids - the dolly would be amazing, especially for an older creative .
The mini dolly looks great, I'll try out one of these on my next round of music videos. Your videos are a great resource, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
@YClmaging... cool! Thank you! (There's an email on my channel)
Thanks for sharing this information.really appreciate your insight and knowledge.great work,keep it coming,thanks

Thank you sir for this review to me all this gadget are absolutely amazing and really helpful in film making, I learned a lot and I love them. ❤
SOLID BRO! Def grabbing at least 3 of these! 🔥
I really like the skater dolly and the car mount, nice suggestions!

Have you tried attaching a Gimbal, like the RS3 to the skate wheel dolley? think I could get some interesting shots with that combination
love the creative side love it
It would be interesting to use some of the softer long board type wheels to help make a smoother shot for the one on wheels!
Always helpful, thanks from the Caribbean 🙏🏾
better off getting a single huge suction cup, those little ones will fly off, the massive single ones will pull a door off before it unsticks.
This is really dope. Seeing a vet showoff some budget options for the rest of us that can still help our projects - fire! Always appreciate your work homie @GastorAlmonte
How long does the motorized stand stay charged? I'm thinking about scooping one up!
I love this! your reviews are real asf man. Keep up the good work🤙
