hope this guy isn't on dvxuser

Haha I don't know what I find so funny about this video. He's just to dedicated to his C stand and obviously practices opening and closing all day.
 
Kupo Grip needs to hire a sound guy for their demonstration video. Otherwise it looks like an interesting product. The guy's mannerism probably have to do with his unfamiliarity with English, I've seen plenty of people who quite mild-manner but become much more intense when they're grappling with a foreign language.
 
Hmm, I'll stick with the original design. A quick twist isn't too difficult to do. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
 
Funny thing Steve - the video might not be bad, but those stands were what we were using on the shoot Monday and Tuesday. They really do work. I guess I just need a few more hours of practice of folding them to get to his masterful level :grin:
 
i love the flashlite...3 times..."...see?"

just as good as a metric tape measure i guess. intense.

the stand is sweet though, but i'm never in that much of a hurry. hope he makes a few buck on this.

i don't know man...before learning words like "quick-release", "device", and "c-stand", i think the phrase "let me show you the best part" would have made this product speak for itself. after all, it's just a c-stand.

i live in San Diego, and i struggle with a language barrier daily. and i'm the American. ah well. such is our intolerance. though i never aim to offend. just another interesting pitch-video i'm commenting on.

Well, keep in mind that unless you grow up speaking a language, learning it from scratch often excludes some of the finer mannerism of speech. As somebody who moved to the US and had to learn a new language I can appreciate the difficulty. It seems to me that we're making fun of the guy because his speech pattern isn't perfect, which is an uncomfortable territory to go into.
 
well, as i said Huy...i never meant to offend...and when i said "such is our intolerance", i suppose a better choice of words would have been "such is our misunderstanding"...fair?
 
I also don't understand why somebody with an accent is funny. I have friends who speak 3+ languages but are often laughed at because their English isn't perfect.
 
My brother in law owns a grip company. Gonna ask what he thinks of these.

The first language you learn shapes the way your brain wires up in childhood. That can influence how you learn and use any subsequent languages you pick up.

Sure, sometimes it's funny to listen to a non-English speaker mangle the language. Don't you think Arabic, Mandarin, Bantu, etc etc etc speakers get a laugh out of English speakers flubbing up *their* languages?
 
I can tell you they totally do.
The only forign english language that doesn't crack me up is ebonics.
I can't help but answer everytime they ask if I know what they are saying. It's like
"sooo, know what I'm sayin?"
"not yet."
I was all walkin down da street, know what I'm I'm sayin?"
"you were walking down the..."
an did dude walks up know what I'm I'm sayin?"
"well..."
and he was all like, look dawg, know what I'm sayin?"
"uhm"
"an I was all, say man, step off, know what I'm sayin?"
"still, not yet."
"so den hebroke out, know what I'm sayin?"
"uuuuhm"
"an I was all weeerd up, foo, know what I'm sayin?"
"I got the walking down the street part."
