Okay seriously how do you guys deal with it?

[LukeKwonGolf]

Wow if Matti and Pete Mckinnon move into the same office... Youtube could block yall from becoming a monopoly 🙈

[tombuck]

I’ve been obsessing over lenses lately too, and it’s been keeping me up at night.

Really, the best camera is the one you have with you. I think that realistically, very few of us are actually using our gear to it’s maximum potential.

Definitely keep posting the live streams afterwards. They are a goldmine of knowledge that I keep going back to!. Thanks Matti!

“Make, learn, repeat” Love it, will try. Thanks for sharing!

[simonbeckford]

Matti, this is hands down my favorite video you have ever done. For me, my bottom line is whether or not my gear is slowing my learning process...the faster I learn the better I get. I can learn everything about slow motion at 60fps 720p, at this point I have so much to learn about story, editing...it's hard to avoid the marketing and pay to win idea, but spending money on travel and work less is teaching me so much more than a 1dx ever could.

The subtle editing nuances of this video is just class

[lfverner]

Can't afford an expensive piece of photo equipment but can always certainly spring for another Arcteryx piece! Love that you rock the Arcteryx brand....Keep up the great work Matti, love your content.

I’m new to filmmaking but for music gear, I have found myself over the years building up an arsenal of gear but recently I have naturally fallen back into a minimalist approach. Gear becomes cumbersome to travel with and it’s always fun to see what you can do with what you have.

[DatreDigital]

Matti you are so right. Feel the same way and I think your solution is right on!

[kakegarcia]

Well... Apply this same feeling to "your work" and try to get bore about what you are achieving and level up, put this energy in your skills to go beyond, try something you are afraid of and conquer it. Thanks for the videos and hi from Venezuela!

[andreasd]

In a weird way, this video motivates me to create content more than any of your other ones. You released it despite its imperfections (i.e. ND filter, af fail) and I think that sends a powerful message: just get it out there. And that also connects to the gear lust right? Because even with a better camera or lens, you still would have forgotten the filter anyway.

Awesome as always Matti!

[felopjori]

Matti I have to say I love when you do fresh out of the blue stuff like this, no planning, no ND, just you, your camera and imagination/Comp. (“which is free”😉)

keep up the doing wat chu doing bro! Can’t wait to visit the Great North!

There is a saying "The grass is green where you water it". And it is spot on in many cases

[Storiesbyeris]

It's incredible how this channel has grown. You're getting better and better Matti. Keep improving.

[groovexmedia]

Hey Matti, lmao this is so spot on! It happens indeed almost every year. I dig into reviews, demo footage, prizes etc... the best way to deal with it for me is to set new challenges and do that with the gear I have. Yet, it’s a constant fight 😂

[ZombieChris]

I too have that feeling also. I believe it's a combo of a lot of things. We love tech/cameras. So it's always exciting to have some new gear. It makes me think of Black Friday. You can have everything but still you want to see what's on sale or go shopping for items. You may not need.

[glennstrid]

You're preaching it. I always have a tendency to grab a lust for gear whenever I feel like I am not getting enough done. It's like my brain thinks gear makes me create more stuff. Which is semi true. But completely wrong! I just need to suck it up and go out there.

[KarlMarkusAntson]

Also loved the second angle in the talking part. The way you kinda showed the dialog between minds voice of reason from one angle vs the camera lust driven guy, who still would like to have a new camera. that was good!

[AaronBlake]

I found that new equipment sparks new ideas, so when your in a rut or need inspiration it is a way to help create that needed push.
