About This Video
Two new cameras in one week, and setting them up reveals a ritual Van didn't know he had. Lanyard on the camera. Name it after a film camera: the GoPro 8 is the Arriflex, the GoPro 10 is the Panavision, the GoPro 11 is the Bolex. Build a custom foot so it can stand up on its own. The first foot he ever made was for the Canon TX1, which he still calls the most beautiful pocket camera. Rituals of initiation for tools sound precious until you realize they're calibration. The ritual teaches you the camera before the camera teaches you anything.
