is being a youtuber your only profession or do you secretly work for smartphone companies with huge salary benefit they're onto us hey what is up guys I'm Kim PhD here happy new year welcome to 2017 and I'm about to head off to CES 2017 haven't miss one in a while I'm probably editing this on the plane on the way to CES so if you're the guy sitting next to me on the plane what's up this is totally normal stop judging me this isn't weird so of course I asked on Twitter if you guys had any questions to start the new year tech related or otherwise and had plenty so these are those first one is are you hiring so this is in relation to a tweet I'd posted last year about whether or not I would be hiring an assistant I kind of mentioned that this is probably this is most likely the year that I hire someone to help with things around here up until this point everything you've seen on the channel has been made by me but I think it's time to expand the operation to be able to make not just more stuff but better stuff to enable things that just take me too long what's the news with Apollo okay so the status with Apollo if you didn't see that updated tweets is that she's good basically what happened was there was a contaminant on the wiring in the power-steering in the circuitry that was not diagnosed by the first engineer but the one they flew in fixed it so Tesla is now really confident that they fixed the issue I am really confident that they fix the issue and there should be no more problems with that car I've been driving ever since and it's been fantastic if it does have any more problems obviously I bring it in and that's probably the end of that don't jinx it though do you plan on joining your team krispies friends in LA at any point I really like LA you know every time I go there it's awesome every time I go shoot with any of those guys they teach me a lot I learn a lot from being around them but I don't think I'd like move to LA anytime soon there's just too much good about this East Coast thing this whole New York City being right over there thing it's kind of just a part of who I am now so yeah East Coast bisko's why do your reviews seem so biased um because they are that's kind of inherent to being a reviewer and doing reviews it's funny though I do see that comment a lot like this seems biased it seems like you like this and don't like this as much but that's kind of the point that's why I'm a reviewer I'm not just a spec sheet if you want something completely unbiased you just have to look at the list of the specs of what hardware is in the device if I'm doing a phone review but the whole point of me talking about what I like and don't like in a phone is so you get my unique perspective and even if you don't share my perspective even if you're not biased in the same way that I am then you can at least calibrate yourself to watch my videos with that in mind so if I like something for one reason and you don't like it for that same reason then the next time I like something for that same reason you'll know that that's not something you also like it's just kind of works that way so my reviews and pretty much every opinion I have is a bias because I'm human hopefully that helps would you ever upload straight 8k video since YouTube is not compatible with it I've thought about it but probably not well actually you said ever so I guess ever maybe a long time from now that will happen but right now there's almost no way to watch in a que no one has an 8k screen even now barely any people have 4k displays and even of those people almost none of them watch in 4k so I think I'll start to upload an 8k the day that I can actually have an 8k display and watch and edit my own 8k videos in full 8k it's probably going to be a while best budget phone today 3t uh yeah I would say the 3t the one plus 3t is my favorite budget phone but then any time you say the word budget got to be careful because that's still a four hundred something dollar phone a lot of places and that's not budget for a lot of people in fact here's another one of the questions best sub $300 phone right now that's a different question you got to make sure you differentiate budget phone from like soup like cheap phone like really budget phone so I guess yeah best 300 hour phone here try this for a forfeit iPhone 5se think about that yeah Miguel asks pancakes or waffles come on man really is that even a question pancakes all debt TP over or under really really is that even a question over obviously all-day p100 dior prius really really really its prius all-day man that thing is a beast i like this one are there any new pieces of camera gear improving or changing how you're making videos and it's not even new pieces of camera gear but I've I keep having this switch back and forth for myself as youtuber maybe as a cinematographer or another filmmaker you can relate to this I keep switching back and forth between zooms and primes I really like at this moment shooting with zooms a lot I'm using the 1835 right now I just like the convenience of just being able to zoom in and out whatever get my framing exactly right whenever I'm running and gunning I'm going outside and I don't know exactly what shot I'm going to get it's perfect for me to have a zoom but whenever I start using primes again I get really into primes for some reason there's a couple problems I've played with from Zeiss and from Canon that really get me creative and challenge me a little bit to get different unique shots of things and you might not even notice when you're watching the video but it's very different so the shooting style is different and it takes longer obviously to switch lenses out and reboot the camera every time I want to change lenses for those shots but it kind of makes it that much more interesting so I go in like phases back and forth between them I don't know if anyone cares I just feel like that was a fun question to answer I'll leave you with this one favorite album of 2016 good question Sam and actually went back and looked at a couple of albums I was listening to for my most viewed playlist on Spotify I'll link that that playlist below but half of that stuff was not even released this year I had like two albums in mind and I looked at both of them and they were both released in 2015 so it's kind of weird but what I'm going to do is link one of my favorite artists below mr. 20s while I'm going to link his stuff below he's responsible not only for a lot of the music like you hear in my intro but like tons of great music that I share all the time so I'm gonna link that below and I'm going to leave that as the outro track for this video that's been it hope you enjoy your 2017 so you let's see yes if you're there thanks for watching talk to you guys the next one I mean I've never do a lot that was awarded in green the type that only oh if it suited the need I would fight
