Will you stop posting Neistat here, he, probably is the gifted and experienced film maker but he is an absolute IDIOT, when it comes to the drones. Stop his popularisation!!!! Post some useful info. Good luck and safe flying!
What logic process are you using to deduct that he's to blame? "Others individualsflying other drones haven't had an issue, so this 'definately (sic)' is user error / stunt"?
If you're in marketing, you're certainly an unemployed marketer. The pre-release of product to select individuals has nothing to do with getting honest opinions and everything to do with boosting sales. A "real drone pilot" will not boost sales; they're in fact likely to reduce sales.
No. It wouldn't. This board has 60,678 members. His Mavick vid has 4,071,934 views.
I agree. A well done video of a new drone would actually be most likely boring except for those wanting to learn facts with no bs. I don't believe people view Casey for drone reviews. I think they just want to see what silly stuff he may do next. I don't care for him but I'll admit his videos have a lot of work behind them and his style attracts people. Editing is good etc. It's called showmanship. He is getting the exact results he's going for. I wouldn't mind his income but what he does is just not my style. Sure, he is rough on stuff and kind of acts like an entitled brat....but he sure works for it. Can you imagine the amount of time it must take to make a silly 10 minute video with all the pre planned shots, time lapse, multiple cameras, and editing with special effects? It's not like he goes out and shoots for 10 minutes and uploads it.
I agree. The kind of market reach, 4 million+ views, is an incredible bargain for the cost of one Mavic (or 2+).
Really good points. I just watched a video showing his studio which really serves to show behind the scenes of his mind. He's put 17 years into a product that today is very successful, and it's entirely a result of his hard work and dedication.
It's much easy to walk through like not judging people when it does not affect you. Truth is, it's marking... and if DJI can reach 5-10 million people by spending what amounts to something like $2000.... they would be _very_ smart to do it.
Why would I say I'm jealous when I am a sponsored rider for Asia ebikes on the equipment they give me ? You might want to get your facts right first rather then making retarded comments
There's a lot of irony in you telling someone they're making "retarded comments" after you say you couldn't possibly be jealous of someone getting free drones because you get free bike parts.
This is a really good point. Your average poster on the forum loves his Phantom/Mavic beyond measure. Witness the fawning adoration for the latter drone that isn't even in consumers' hands yet. For Casey Neistat, these things are tools, not beloved possessions. A means to an end. He doesn't obsess over every little scratch and ding...he uses these things as popular blog subjects to reach as much of the public as possible. Personally, I can only take the guy in small doses, but I do admire his entrepreneurial spirit.
