hey what is up guys MTB HD here and welcome to ask me v3 so this is the third installment of a fun little video series where I basically answer a bunch of questions from Twitter and some other social media for a video and I also have some questions from the last episode from the comments section of the v-2 so if you want to ask questions for the next ask mkbhd video feel free to leave them in the comment section below this video or I might just like answer them in a comment anyway but either way let's go ahead and get started I have a bunch of questions let's go do you edit the videos that you make for your channel yourself or we've got people to do the job so everything that you see on this channel is completely crafted by me a hundred percent there is no like second guy or other behind-the-scenes crew working on anything it's just me and I feel like it's sort of like a portfolio that way of the videos I make and the projects that I work on what was the very first device you reviewed the first one ever was the Motorola Droid the original og Droid and I was really proud of that video in fact no shame I'm just gonna leave a link to that Oh G droid review right below that like button if you want to check it out I think it was kind of good I think I shot that with my Canon t2i and like the built-in microphone in my laptop but I was really proud of it and I worked just as hard on that video as I do on my current review so if you want to check it out there it is do you think we'll do more news type videos considering the success of your iPhone video ah good question mostly because I I don't know I I guess I expect the iPhone stuff because so many people are interested in iPhones I kind of expect that to do really well but I don't know if that was a news type of video I still think that's in my my current style if I didn't explain video on it and I did sort of an impressions video on the materials so I guess yeah I'm still covering iPhone stuff and what's funny is my three most viewed videos now in the past month according to YouTube analytics are my three iPhone videos that I've done this year but either way yeah I plan on doing the same variety of content that I've planned on what's your NBA team you cheer for and what do you think about LeBron heading to Cleveland so the team I chew for is the Los Angeles Clippers and I'm a fan of a bunch of players on that team actually Chris polish mark Rock for DeAndre Jordan but about LeBron heading home I don't really mind that much I mean props to him for going home that seems great especially for Ohio but I don't really mind that much I'm still going to be watching Clippers games can you say boss boss do you own a dog because you should I don't own a dog mostly because if I were to like leave and go like on a trip for ultimate or school or something I would not have any place to keep that dog because you know you kind of have to feed it and walk it and stuff that's pretty important but I think in a later time I will probably end up getting a dog or cat or something that I can pet what's your favorite piece of video gear except for your camera I think I'm gonna cheat a little bit just because video gear is only a couple of things and I'm going to say the lens the lens I'm shooting this video on now and alums that I shoot a lot of videos on is a Sigma 18 to 35 I'll leave a link to it below it is easily my favorite lens ever and I've used a lot of lenses in my time I've used some very expensive lenses from Canon from Sigma and from some others but this Sigma 18 to 35 is a beast and it's the fastest zoom lens ever and I love the wide-angle stuff it's it's awesome I don't know if I can say enough about it I've never reviewed it but if you watch other reviews everyone else likes it too it's great can we have a rundown of all the cameras we've used in the past all right so the video I'm shooting this on now and what I've shot for for the last couple months is the red scarlet may or may not do a video on the red but I feel like it's a possibility before this I was just in Canon c100 for a couple of months before that I was using the Canon 5d Mark 3 before that it was the Canon 60d you can see I've used a lot of Canon and before that it was the Canon t2i and then before that my first camera that I ever bought was the Sanyo Zack D C g10 still an old favorite what is your least favorite part of doing YouTube videos Tim that's a great question because most people ask what's like my favorite or the best part of making YouTube videos I would say the least favorite part is probably just being like unsatisfied or being your own biggest critic although it is a pretty important part of making your own creative content being like unsatisfied or unable to achieve a video look or style that you wish you could make is is really frustrating but I guess it's still a motivate a motivator on the other hand of things so I guess there's not too much bad about making YouTube videos what was your first job my first job I was a caddy a caddy at a local Country Club I've been a golfer for more than 10 years now and being a caddy was like a natural first job for me to get and spoiler that's a really good job if you're into golf or if you're into or want to be into golf that's an awesome first job to have do you ever do videos pantsless just because you can no but now that you mention it you're right I could what's one tech device you want to own but can't other than a Tesla tech device that I can't own probably the perfect like the perfect piece of gear like the perfect microphone or the perfect camera because it just doesn't exist maybe that's cheating because the things don't actually happen in real life but I would love to have a perfect microphone that could perfectly isolate just the amount of sound that I want to record and block out everything else but of course physics don't really laugh for these types of things can you do a behind-the-scenes video showing how you make videos yeah so this is something I've considered doing for a little bit mostly haven't done it yet because it's really hard to like do a behind-the-scenes of how I'm making an actual video when I don't have someone to shoot me making a video so it would be like me making a fake video while I make a real video about how I make the fake video kind of difficult I don't know leave a thumbs up if you like want to see something like that like how the videos become what they are sort of tutorial I guess but it's something I've considered and I think it might be an interesting topic at least to cover do you use art or dalvik on your Nexus so every phone I've taken out of a box for the past couple months I always almost immediately switch it to the art Android runtime but now that the Nexus I have is running Android L Developer Preview there is no dalvik art is the default so I guess I will no longer have to switch Nexus is over to artists soon as I take them out the Box Android runtime is where it's at what is the one thing no phone does that you wish they could last a week on battery without charging at least I know phones used to be able to do that how was your experience with the G watch and Android wear Ben I've had a pretty mix experience with the G watch which is the one that I've been using I'm still waiting for the Moto 360 because I am most interested in that as a SmartWatch but my time with the G watch has been interesting number one it doesn't last very long on battery lasts a day and a half maximum usually a bit less than a day and the other thing is the step counter I don't know if it's using my wrist as the step counter instead of my phone sensor because I was eating breakfast with unbox therapy in San Francisco after Google i/o and I took 900 steps while eating breakfast so that's clearly not accurate so I haven't just I've just stopped using the step counter altogether I turned it off but other than that I like having the notifications on my wrist like I was using a pebble for the months before Google i/o so I was really interested in how it shows notifications so I like the G watch as a concept as a proof of concept but I'm Way more pumped for the Moto 360 pancakes or waffles definitely pancakes no question about that fellow tall person here worst thing about being tall other people showers other people showers think about is the rx100 mark 3 significantly better than the previous versions or should I save my money and buy a previous version so I've owned this little rx100 mark 3 uh what I think is the best pocket camera ever for a couple of weeks now I reviewed the rx100 mark 2 I would say if you really want that optical viewfinder if that's something you actually value in point shoot which not a lot of people do but it's an awesome feature then you have to get the mark 3 and if you really want a slightly wider lens like you would get on this it's a 24 to 70 then you have to get the mark 3 other than that you can get the rx100 mark 1 and it's still an incredibly good camera very similar sensor very similar images there's just a bunch of slight improvements on the second version and the third version but I love the third version and I would recommend it to anyone who can get it there you go guys that's just a couple of the questions I got on Twitter over the past couple of weeks and from the last ask me video again if you want to ask questions feel free to ask them in the comment section below or follow me on Twitter shoot me a question over there I'll answer it just fun quick little stuff I figured I'd do this video to get that across either way thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one bass you
