Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
GoPro cameras are typically only really used for one thing. Ok, maybe two things after you strip them down to their bare components for FPV drones. But typically, the main intention for the GoPro is to shoot action, not cinema.
They have, of course, been used in cinema – not always in a great way – but it’s not their primary intent. What if it was, though? What if it had interchangeable lenses? And a monitor? Well, let’s see what filmmaker and YouTuber Van Neistat has to say about it.
You might be forgiven for not knowing who Van Neistat is, but as the name might suggest, he’s the brother of filmmaker and YouTuber Casey Neistat. After their HBO series, The Neistat Brothers, the two took very different paths. Casey went full-on into YouTube and Van… well, he kind of disappeared. Recently, however, Van’s done an about-turn and finally created his own YouTube channel.
It’s filled with some pretty unique stuff compared to most of the content we see on YouTube these days and it still has that very raw feeling of Casey’s early YouTube videos and the work the pair did together. In his latest video, Van talks about some of the DIY camera gear he’s made for himself and how he finds it invaluable.
