Though the cloudy skies that cast over Adventureland make it a bit difficult to compare image quality, Neistat aligns the three images captured from each of the drones and compares. At first glance it looks as if the DJI Inspire 1 Pro is worth the extra green.
Don't let the images deceive you though; Neistat insists that there is no winner or loser of the three. Like Goldilocks and her porridge, what might be good for someone is not good for another. In case you're not the analogy type, Neistat breaks it down even further with a rudimentary bar graph show above that compares what he deems the three most important things to consider:
The reason for Casey's review was because of his frustration after breaking his Canon lens. It wasn't the actual breaking that frustrated him, but the fact that Canon refused to fix it—remember his little rant last week? The long-time Canon lover got so angry that he threatened to finally switch from Canon to Sony, which had been something he'd resisted for a very long time.[caption id="attachment_74333" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]
Casey loves his 80D's flip-out screen.[/caption][caption id="attachment_74334" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]
Having to produce a daily video for more than 600 consecutive days comes with a cost...[/caption]But would such a switch be a clever move? No better way to find it out than a field test... in some of New York City's worst possible weather conditions. After hitting the streets with a brand new Sony's A7S II, a go-to camera for a lot of vloggers, Casey came back with some pretty nice imagery, but also with some remarks.[caption id="attachment_74339" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]
Unboxed and ready to go: Sony's A7S II.[/caption][caption id="attachment_74341" align="aligncenter" width="1794"]
Crappy weather, but pretty decent imagery.[/caption]Agreed, this was far from the best tech review we've seen by Casey, and he concludes his video by saying exactly that. But he does make two very valid major points. Why doesn't the Sony A7S II have a flip-out screen? And why doesn't it have a touch screen? If we'd start looking for a vlogging camera, those are certainly things we'd love our camera to have.Check out the entire video to hear what other remarks Casey had. Although he praises Sony's robustness and image quality, he clearly remains a Canon lover. [post_title] => Can Sony's A7S II Reel in Casey Neistat?

In his most recent video, "MY CAMERA GEAR - What I Shoot Vids With," he showcases an array of equipment he has used throughout the years for his successful vlogs. Some of his gear he has either slightly broken or completely destroyed, but his clumsiness is for the art of the vlog.[caption id="attachment_74254" align="aligncenter" width="849"]
Kai W shows his Sony X3000 that he destroyed getting footage of a friend skateboarding.[/caption]Kai goes through his essential gear list when starting your vlogging career. The first few minutes of the video, he shows his display of vlogging equipment, which seems endless, but don't feel intimidated. You don't have to buy all of this gear, but here is a list of Kai W's top seven pieces he can't vlog without.
Although his is completely tarnished, Kai said in the camera's last moments, it captured some sick skateboarding shots and the sound is amazing. This camera has ultimate image stabilization, a splash-proof body, selectable viewing angles, which can be Wide, Medium or Narrow. In additions, there is 3x zoom High quality 12MP still images, as well as up to 10 fps in burst mode. The camera also includes i
If you ever find yourself with a broken SONY FDRX3000, the GoPro Hero 5 serves as a good replacement. This piece of vlogging gear produces 4k video and 12MP photos, all in Single, Burst and Time Lapse modes. The camera is very durable and is waterproof up to 33 feet without a housing case. The GoPro Hero 5 BLACK makes it easy for users to preview and playback shots, change settings and edit/trim footage, all on the palm-sized device. Kai said the Go Pro has image stabilization, but it won't work with everything. For example, in the video he wants to mount the GoPro to the front bumper of his car with his weather-proof Removu S1 Gimbal, which can be mounted on almost anything. However, Kai said the unite itself is very heavy, so to get the best, stable upward shot, he solves it with a household item: duck tape. He tapes it to the bottom of the door to his car, about four centimeters off the ground. With the Removu S1 remote, he's able to connect it to his Bluetooth and control it while driving (don't GoPro and drive, kids). Kai said with the combination of the Gimbal and the GoPro, the footage is much smoother.[caption id="attachment_74311" align="aligncenter" width="635"]

Kai said he loves the Lumix GH4 and he uses it for most of his vlogs, in any weather or situation. Even on a bumpy ride through the streets of London, a shaky picture still looks somewhat decent. He said it's "close to perfect" to what you would need for vlogging, however the one fault to this piece of equipment is the terrible auto-focus feature. Nonetheless, the camera captures 4k cinematic video and 4k QFHD video. It has a tough magnesium alloy body and excellent shutter life.
According to Kai, this is the only lens you should need when using a Lumix GH4. It's lightweight, compact and somewhat splash/dust proof. It has a Nano Surface Coating to reduce lens flare/ghost, POWER O.I.S. Image Stabilization and UED Lens, which decreases chromatic aberration.
Sony a7R II[/caption]This was bought by Kai as his replacement for the Lumix GH4, and besides the pleasing style of the camera, it includes features like Full-frame back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor-42.4 MP, 5-axis in-body image stabilization, optimized for 42.4 MP full-frame and 4K movie recording. It can connect to your smartphone via Wi-Fi and includes shutter vibration suppression. Overall, the camera is durable, reliable and great for professional usage.
Kai mentions in his video his struggle to stay loyal to either Sony or Canon, but both companies to produce high quality gear, like the Canon 80D. This camera has an accurate autofocus feature, with its optical viewfinder and focusing area selection modes. The 24.2 Megapixels APS-C) CMOS sensor creates high-resolution images, which can help your vlogs look more impressive. 
This camera is similar to the Canon 80D with its convenient manual and auto focus features and it has an electronic viewfinder. You can also connect to Wifi with this model. However, unlike the Canon 80D, it does not have image stabilization with continuous shooting.So what do you think of Kai's favorite pieces of equipment? What do you use?

The YouTube star's new employer had offered him the opportunity to go to the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States, but Casey had no clue what to do there. So he turned to his viewers, asking them what he should create.[caption id="attachment_74225" align="alignnone" width="1920"]
"I want to do something for this YouTube-channel... But I don't know what that 'something' should be."[/caption]With the transition of power on January 19, Casey decided to go to Washington D.C. on the 18th. That way, he had time to get his credentials and to discover our nation's capital. He had some awkward encounters with fans, while noticing how strangely quiet the city was, even though there were people everywhere. At the end of the day, he still didn't really have a plan for the next day.[caption id="attachment_74227" align="alignnone" width="1920"]
"There's people everywhere... But it's silent."[/caption]By Inauguration Day, Casey had all the credentials, passes and invitations he needed to witness Donald J. Trump's swearing-in from D.C's National Mall. But he didn't go to the inauguration. Instead, he listened to the one clear suggestion his viewers seemed to have. He went away from the Capitol, and he talked to people.[caption id="attachment_74229" align="alignnone" width="1920"]
The people's wish was clear...[/caption]And Casey tried his best to reflect the broadest spectrum of opinions. From people calling Casey out for "fake news," to people concerned about women's rights: they all had their say. One woman expressed the possibility that Trump might turn out to be "a very good president." Another attendee advised the president to "keep his mouth shut" a little bit more. Aside from that, Casey witnessed the riots and a randomly naked man - check out his "scenes."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD5_In8XhLoConclusion? Even though Casey said that he wouldn't be in D.C. as a CNN reporter, that was some pretty nice reporting![caption id="attachment_74232" align="alignnone" width="1920"]

How about taking a word of advice from a guy who quit his job in finance when he hit 100k followers, soon to tap 235k followers: friend of the Resource Magazine family, @krispyshorts. After quitting his job, he and meme-king @fuckjerry started their own advertising agency, while still managing to find some time for a daily vlog. In his most recent episode, Krispyshorts reveals his trick to become big on Instagram: memes.[caption id="attachment_73464" align="alignnone" width="1920"]
@krispyshorts and meme-king @fuckjerry, keeping it real in London last week.[/caption]The Jerry Studios team spent some time in Europe last week for some business meetings. Upon returning, they agreed they would help some companies grow on this side of the Atlantic. There will be some more meetings in New York City next week, where Jerry Studios will present their marketing strategy. It'll be a busy week for "meme consultant" @bean and Krispyshorts!But why memes?People like to laugh, that's no secret. They also like to share laughter. When a company has a nice picture to try and promote themselves on social media, people might appreciate it, but not feel tempted to share. When that same company shares something funny, the game changes. People will "at tag" their friends and start sharing the post, and when enough people do that, the company will start to show up on Instagram's "Popular Page." And that's how you blow up on Instagram.[caption id="attachment_73447" align="alignnone" width="1920"]

He now creates comedic videos for his Youtube channel, DavidSoComedy, and has gained well over a million subscribers. His videos range from lighthearted topics like peeing in public to edgier things like talking to fellow YouTuber Julie Zahn about what cum tastes like.In a recent vlog, he goes off on "the perception of reality" perpetuated by social media. This nearly 8-minute long tangent calls out social media users for not portraying life as it is; but rather, what they think life is supposed to look like. "Too many people out there think social media is reality," he said. "Ima [sic] tell you this right now: social media, the things that you see on Instagram, and a lot of the things you see people post, is not fucking reality."And he certainly makes some solid points. So we've compiled a list of ways social media is lying to you, along with some advice to soften the blow.
Sometimes you have to learn grammar to get the best, too.[/caption]3. Your Life SucksOn Facebook, you see an acquaintance having the time of their life in Europe and start thinking about your own life in comparison. You may conclude that your life sucks. But the truth is it doesn't. For all you know, this acquaintance could've gotten bed bugs from sleeping in a hostel or been pick-pocketed moments before. The point is that no one's life is perfect and everyone's life sucks from time to time, so stop comparing it to others, especially people you don't know.4. Every Second of A Social Media's Star's Life is InterestingA lot of us enjoy following vloggers, many of whom post daily. Although a lot of them do incredible things like partying at mansions or snowboarding while being pulled by a drone, they still do plenty of mundane things when the camera's not recording. This includes running multiple businesses or simply sitting in their room writing material all day, as David does, for example. Even Krispyshorts, one of the most energetic and positive vloggers today, divulged that he's stressed AF from keeping up with his business. And yet, many social media stars insist that life is rainbows and unicorns, whom David refers to as "social media fucks."5. You Can Live Like a Billionaire TooDan Bilzerian is a billionaire who rose to fame via social media for his posts featuring him surrounded by half-naked models while traveling the world playing poker and partying. However, he's admittedly gained an undisclosed fortune through inheritance, and David reminds us that you do not have a "billion fucking dollars." Remember, these people's lives are marketed for entertainment, which is far from a guide on how to live your own life.6. Watching Other People Succeed Will Make You Feel WorseOn that note, if you do follow social media stars for more than just entertainment, don't let their success—or your lack of it—bring you down. "You are supposed to use them as an example to further your own life and better your life, not for you to sit there and wallow about why your life sucks," David said.
via YouTube[/caption]“We laughed it off at first, we didn’t think we were actually going to do this...” Tebele said. “Then we told James about the idea and he loved it. From that point, it’s been a week, not even, but James and Guy definitely took the reigns on production. All of us in the office have been on an e-mail chain sending lyric concepts and ideas, one-liners and stuff. Once we felt confident with the lyrics we went to the studio and nailed that before any of the video content.”

Throughout the video, we see Casey being pulled by the drone as he snowboards across an unnamed ski resort, hitting jumps to the beat Ol' Dirty Bastard's 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya.' "It's a drone, it's really a drone!" he says into the camera. The video culminates to one final, absurdly huge jump that carries Casey an estimated 100 feet into the air, followed by an epic pink cloud emitted from a pair of smoke bombs fastened to his feet.In the description of the video, there's a link to BTS footage shot by Jesse and posted on PrankvsPrank. Let's look a little closer at how exactly this was done.First, the BTS video reveals this was shot in Finland over the course of four days, while the drone took over a year to build. It's also noted that the camera Casey is holding throughout the video—and the one mounted on the drone—is the Samsung Galaxy Gear 360, a 4K action camera designed to "democratize VR content." Second, it's revealed that Casey's entire body is fastened to the drone, so he won't fall from the air if he loses his grip on the handle. But what if he catches an edge before leaving the ground? Well, at least he's had some practice.
There's no denying that this holiday video delivered every bit of ambition and excitement that was promised. However, in some ways, it's a bit out of character for the Youtube star. Often in the past, and specifically when he began his daily vlog, Casey talked a lot about ceasing his work with brands on sponsorships and advertising. This video, though, is blatantly sponsored by Samsung, ending with a thank you note that reads: "Thank you Samsung for keeping us on the front line of technology and innovation." This comes almost exactly one month from announcing the end of his daily vlog in light of a media partnership with CNN. It surely raises some questions.
As we move into 2017, the strategy behind internet videos and social media has never been in a more peculiar place. Jerome Jarre is redirecting millions of dollars from marketing budgets to humanitarian causes. JerryMedia, founded by the likes of FuckJerry and KrispyShorts, is the first-ever agency offering influencer marketing directly from influencers themselves. And then we have Casey, who's launching a full-scale media company funded by CNN as he's carried into the sky by a giant drone dressed in santa suit for Samsung.But if one thing's for certain, it's that 2017 will be an interesting time for content creators and influencers. The internet is a vast place, with still so much room for something great to happen, branded or not.

An upcoming holiday video will be one of the first examples, and Casey recently dropped some hints on what it's going to look like in his latest YouTube video. First of all, the holiday video appears to be a massive collaboration with Samsung. In the video, Casey takes viewers with him to Los Angeles where Samsung announced "The Night Before" last week, calling it "an immersive look at a classic holiday moment" via Samsung/Oculus VR gear. Seeing some of that gear in vlogger Jesse Wellens's apartment during the video is an initial hint at the direction the holiday video might be going.
The trip to Los Angeles was for "research and preparation" purposes, Casey explains. Other than some meetings with Samsung, that also meant learning how to fly a kite, which didn't go down well, but Casey seemed to be having fun anyway.
Near the end of the video, seated in one of Samsung's Christmas sleighs, Casey really starts dropping hints. It's going to be an epic holiday video, that's for sure. And it might just involve some VR.
After some research on the possible location of the shoot - something Casey and Jesse tried to keep a secret in the video - we found that it's just north of the Arctic Circle, where Casey went for a 3.5 mile run at 30 below zero temperatures. Luckily, they seem to have some Santa Outfits to keep them warm.

Though the camera is awesome, the Phantom 4 is just so much better. However, after the video was posted, Casey updated with a comment regarding focus, and it looks like the Mavic is going to be just fine.https://twitter.com/CaseyNeistat/status/781527005615579136Since Casey is working on a pre-release version, and the fact that it's a little different than the Phantom 4, the initial video Casey posted looks like it won't be indicative of the final product. This is really good news, since the GoPro Karma video looks vastly superior to the initial video Casey posted from the Mavic. Unfortunately for GoPro though, it looks like the Mavic will be producing video that is on par with the Phantom 4, and the quality difference won't be in the conversation at all when deciding to go GoPro or DJI.[H/T Fstoppers] [post_title] => Comparing the DJI Phantom 4 to the New Mavic: Pretty Darn Close [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => open [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => comparing-the-dji-phantom-4-to-the-new-mavic-pretty-darn-close [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2017-02-01 11:50:07 [post_modified_gmt] => 2017-02-01 16:50:07 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => http://resourcemagonline.com/?p=71114 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => post [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 3 [filter] => raw )[14] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 66268 [post_author] => 30241 [post_date] => 2016-05-02 16:49:24 [post_date_gmt] => 2016-05-02 20:49:24 [post_content] => It's been quite a while since we last talked about, or even heard about, Beme... right? It feels like an eternity ago when Casey Neistat launched the app to great fanfare only to have it just about fizzle out less than a month later. Plagued by usability issues and bugs, as well as an interface that left many scratching their heads, Casey spent a few months promoting it before going radio silent.But now the silence is broken, and Beme is still very much alive.In an article on Mashable, Neistat recognizes that the app was having trouble. "At the end of last year, we had a harsh realization that we were not such a shining star and were much more aligned with other social media launches. Downloads slowed to a few thousand a day from a much more robust number and active engagement became a lot less than what it was.”Now Beme is re-launching, with what Neistat and co. hope is enough of an app to really get going. There is now a scrolling feed of videos that have been shared, and it's also possible to go back and see old content. Bemes don't disappear like they once did, so understanding a whole story on either a day or a whole person is much, much easier.Oh and hey, profile pages! These are all updates that scream "that wasn't there before?" or "well that was weird to leave out," and we agree, it's strange to have launched Beme without these things, but that's what development cycles are like. The core technology of Beme, which is sharing without looking at your phone, is still there and is still the main selling point. But now it's more like Snapchat/Facebook/Twitter, but with that element of "unedited, unfiltered life."So when Casey's latest Vlog asked "What the hell happened to Beme?" it answered that question by showing that Beme is not only still around, but looking to make a bold comeback.Will it? Well, that's up to you.
