TRIPODS OR GORILLAPODS
These are Chinese equivalents of Jobi Gorillapods.
This small one looks pretty neat and has nearly no weight whatsoever. It’s positioned as a tripod for a phone or action camera, but don’t be fooled. The best you can do is to carefully place a phone on it and make sure you don't bump it… or breathe anywhere around it. You can barely shoot a vlog with something like this since any movement can make your phone shake
It was stated that the tripod can hold up to 1200 grams, but it feels insecure even with a compact 500 gr camera. You can place your camera horizontally, but you can barely mount it at an angle or record a selfie vlog. Something to compare this with is an original gorillapod. This bad boy can even handle our large full-frame Sony camera, and FYI, it’s 1200 whole grams!
STABILISERS
This stabilizer doesn’t have a proper brand or a name and you can find it by a secret s40 code. That’s the size of it- the maximum length of a bar. There’s a larger sample- s60, but it’s a bit more expensive.
To make your stabilizer work, you gotta set it up first.
In a nutshell, the centre of gravity of this whole structure should be on the axis of a steadicam and a bit lower than the attachment points on the handle. This configuration will suppress shakes and minimize trembling hands while keeping the camera position.
Now we’re going to film a few scenes with various stabilizers and without ones. And for the sake of completeness, let’s add up an electronic stabilizer. So...let’s see how it’ll turn out!
Here’s the bottom line. I won’t say that’s a good kind of a stabilizer. The quality is awful, rubber surface comes off, joints are loose and it’s hard to configure this thing. Besides, the column can’t be screwed in if you don’t have a wrench around. The whole device itself is hefty - not light at all. Add your camera weight and now you can bring it to the gym and workout.
It costs around 60 bucks which isn’t too cheap. If I were you, I would try to search for a used one for double the price, but better, maybe even Glidecam or something - that’s a whole different story.

Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
