If…

You currently own more than 20 Sony NP-F batteries

You always carry a spare SD card everywhere you go, just in case..

When someone mentions the color red you immediately think of a camera

You spend more time on DVXuser than TV, radio and newspaper combined

You’ve ever used chroma key green muslin as a bed sheet

GAS doesn't mean fuel for your vehicle

You’ve ever used a Fresnel to repair your car

You’ve attached an action cam to your lawn mower

You see the world through a 16X9 camera frame hand gesture

You’ve spent more on gear than your car and house

You spend more time with your NLE than with your spouse

Your permanently set up C stand doubles as a hat rack on occasion

You name your cameras as if they were people

You have ever chased your dog with a 3 axis gimbal

You have seen the top of your house with a pole cam

You have at least one copy of every tape format since VHS

You know what a flying erase head is –and- have used it

You are active on more than one video forum

You tell yourself each year you won’t buy any more gear that year...but do anyway

You constantly see something and wonder what it would look like at 480fps

You’ve done a time-lapse in your back yard

Back in the day, B&H used to send you the BIG catalogs instead of the regular one

You post more photos of your work than of your family on social media

…then you might be a videoaholic

Thought we could have some fun with this :)

If you saw a sign for a yoga class titled "Breathing and Focus" and immediately thought of lens technology.
 
Or another oldie but goodie...

You can never fully concentrate/relax in a movie because you're always analyzing the lighting, technique, sound design, etc.

That's already #10...

#30 to cap it off:

If you still have a job in video production, you might be a videoaholic.
