i hear u. Need something light though

Semi offtopic answer.

"Don't be a beta tester!"

The last time I bought a "hot" action product was Session 4.
Just to experience the huge price drop afterwards,
just to have 2K instead of next model (session5) 4K
just to realise that a future battery upgrade is hard...
just...
just...


Here is a personal preference. Buy every component individual.
In your case an action camera and a separate gimbal.
You can choose from a variety, low or high price, waterproof or not,
handheld or chest mounted, etc.
If camera fail (or want an upgrade) you can keep the gimbal if satisfied.
If the gimbal fail or crash, you still have the camera to use.
Individual camera gives you the freedom to detach the camera from gimbal
and use whatever accesories you wish to mount in car, glass, bike etc.

I would like to know if anyone here uses the DJI Osmo pocket to shoot stock footage and how does it rate overall?

General Stock Discussion / Re: Twenty20 tax update
« on: May 03, 2019, 03:59 »
Yes they gave a bonus which was nice and the price per image is similar to the $2 it was minus tax deductions.

Yes i got that too, even in my app it is always showing "subject to applicable royalty withholding tax",

...Ok i understand that, my country does not have a tax treaty with the U.S or Australia, but i get tax deduction on SS only when the customer is also from the U.S, but how does Envato deduct taxes?

I have to say that i earned noticeably more for April but got 40$ withheld for taxes  :(

Same. Buyer from Australia... tax withheld. Not from Australia, no tax withheld. As for the noticeably more... did you read the announcement? They gave a welcome bonus to everyone and have increased the commission rate.

Now that twenty20 belongs to Envato they added new tax implications. I wonder how much will they pay for images now?

Envato acquired Twenty20. I am not sure if their relationship are active but i've been seeing a increase in downloads.

How can it get any worse than  gettyimages?

These people gave my files away for free over 1.3 million times...

I'd say for now I have more faith in twenty20. Whatever you potentially accuse them of, Getty has already done to thousands of producers.

It is not a major player anyway, they are a tiny outfit. They are not going to be the next Shutterstock.

But they have a really lovely gallery system, the most useful I know from any agency.

How do you complete multiple releases for a series instead of having to do a release for each photo?

That is awful. Aren't they exclusive too? Better off just doing SS and AS at that rate.

They not exclusive, they changed to a new system where they allocate money to the amount of images use per month and split that with their monthly cost based on your images use. It just sounds like a ripoff to me. Especially when you giving client unlimited downloads. This monthly i basically made the same amount as last month with double the amount of sales as the previous month.

Twenty20 needs to be upfront with us not this user share crap, tell us straight you gonna pay us 25c per image or whatever the case. Sold 19 last month made $27 sold 36 this month made $29.

11 sales, exactly 11 dollars.

Thanks for that info

For an agency? Each may have their own requirements. Since this thread does not mention one by name perhaps ask their (your) support staff?

If it were me and you were speaking about the (a) model release I'd want one that clearly shows the talent. Same for a property or trademark release.

There are also some apps that make it easy which incorporate the talent image into the release itself. I still use the iOS app "Easy Release"

22 sales for $19 it seems this agency is becoming a lottery ticket, it would be nice to know upfront how much you get per image.

Rule number one, understand the terms and conditions.

Goeie more Mev Van Niekerk :)

I'm not sure what defines "well" but I've got monthly sales of video. Paid off my Mavic at least, although now i've upgraded I'm behind again.
as to your second point, I have myself muttered something similar. ;)

iStockPhoto.com / Re: October Earnings Post
« on: November 20, 2018, 21:35 »
Im also new to iStock and also got a few downloads and it shows 0 next to the pricing.

I'm a new (August) Istock contributor, and on my account management page I showed 34 downloads through the month of October, yet when I go to Royalties page, it says I have none.  This is the 20th of November. 

Can someone explain what's happening?

Thanks,

Hi there i recently signed up for iStock and started uploading, i've had 4 sales so far but i see a 0 next to the price what does that mean? 1 Sale out of the 3 is for 20 cents and the others all show 0

Thank you kind sir

Rushay, PM'd you. Enjoy.

Yes please


Hello I'm not Mat  ;) but the original announcement said or give to a friend. I know someone who got the code, gave it to a friend, and he installed it, worked fine, no ID association. Since that's a real life situation, I'm proposing that you can give the code away and there's nothing that says who it was originally sent to. Good for one person, one Adobe account, up to two personal computers, just like the rest of Adobe software.

And to answer a question I asked before and no one seemed to know. If you register today it's good for one year to date, to the day, not by month or week or anything else.


I have a code if anyone wants it.

Congrats, so there are life beyond subs.

I am very happy with an email I received today:

christiano, you've made a sale!
Your commission $ 94.05

My biggest sale so far (contributor for 1 year and a half).

I hope to have many other messages like this one!

« on: November 06, 2018, 13:09 »
Hi Dennis, yes i am talking about a mobile application. Mobile is very helpful these days especially when you on the move and cant gain access to a computer. Basics would be great like being able to submit and check stats.

Mat its about time you guys develop a app for AS.

Hi there,

I'm the content lead for Video on Adobe Stock and would love to hear what you would need for an application.  I'm assuming you're talking mobile, but let me know if I'm wrong?  What are the main pain points and what should an application accomplish to address them?

Thanks,
Dennis Radeke

Its good that they ending free accounts, nothing is free maybe that's why the community went dead cos nobody values anything if its free.
