[attumsky123]

[Sammyjon123]

6:11-6:14 Like a boss.

[CartoonWarStudios]

the intuos is better than this, no?

[MultiPuttePossu]

is that small or medium?

[adsid10]

Sorry if these q.s have been repeated, but 1. Is this model still in existence? and 2.Do the newer models have this same drawing area??

[dipmvideos]

@adsid10 i think they might still sell these. the newer ones are almost the same, just a newer design (:

[adsid10]

@dipmvideos is the newer one named just Pen and Touch- Medium??? Im so gonna buy it once i find it

[dipmvideos]

@adsid10 bamboo fun pen and touch in some countries, bamboo create in others.

[arnuskin1]

porn.

[XsNiPeRPi3z]

I'm getting Pen & Touch for Christmas

[iDoz3N]

@XsNiPeRPi3z me to :)

[XsNiPeRPi3z]

@iDoz3N :D:D

[thebrawlgamerxD]

IM GETTING THAT TABLET THIS CHRISMAS!

[mirandaisacat]

@thebrawlgamerxD OH NO! I hope you didn't get it, because I have one and within a year of having it the USB plug on it stopped working. I'd suggest getting one of the new ones because the USB can be taken on and off so it won't break or bend.

[TheOddStrange]

I'm relying on amazon.com.

[TheOddStrange]

Eh, wouldn't it be easier to have a large working area? A small one would entail a bit of scrolling around, right?

I've never had a tablet before, and I'm getting one shortly, so I would definitely like to know.

[dipmvideos]

@TheOddStrange i had the large intuos4 before this. honestly, it didnt use the whole area. if you make large strokes then you might benefit from the larger tablet. if not, the medium would be fine. even a small one would be good. thanks for watching!

[Vocs72]

@dipmvideos for the wire u might want to use a rubber band to hold it in place :D

[kyler1man]

@TheOddStrange even if you have a small tablet of any kind it wouldn't involve any scrolling. Look at it like this, if you put the pen on the upper right hand corner of the tablet the mouse cursor would warp to the upper right hand corner of the screen. So basically imagine the computer screen on the tablet itself

[Sikroify]

Sexy darned 00mine works better its newer and i got it for 100

[xlovemakeupxv]

is it worth buying, if you're only going to draw on it?

[dipmvideos]

@xlovemakeupxv yup! its a nice size for drawing. you might wanna look at one of the newer ones though!

[hamishdipp]

Great review and very informative.I'm looking at getting this one but the wifi iversionn.

[FotoFreAK95]

haha also luv the lil pen twirl:P

[FotoFreAK95]

Thankyou so much for this!:) I'm deff getting one now!

[EbonyDollable]

how much was that one and what size is it?

[allluckyseven]

@velyna123

It sure does, and yes, you can use it with SAI.

[georgiabluelost]

hey, i just bought this but it seemed a bit too big and therefore impractical. im considering returning it and going for the small size. I will be using it for drawing/animation and photoshop,picture and film editing. Do you think i should keep the medium or does the small one work just as well?

[dipmvideos]

@georgiabluelost size is a preference. try both.

[dipmvideos]

@PredictableEnigma Wacom Co., Ltd. (株式会社ワコムKabushiki-gaisha Wakomu?) (English pronunciation: /ˈwɑːkəm/ 

[B33st1ng]

I can get it for £60 at Argos....o.o'

[aylera]

i laughed my ass off at 5:22

[Spriterist]

What do you get with the tablet fresh out of the box obviously the tablet but do you get any programs or software with the standalone tablet?

[dipmvideos]

@Spriterist you get a software/driver disk too if i remember correctly.

[bubii184]

@Spriterist

if you register online you get the adobe photoshop elements full version

[CrazyMonkey124]

Crap, that's big. I'm a traditional artist and I used to use Photoshop a lot, but not for drawing. I'm going to buy one when I get my next paycheck :)

[zero3dmercy]

just order one. im really exited. it looks sweet

[dreamingLEENApro0]

if you take a break from the tablet, how would you know where to continue drawing??

[dipmvideos]

@dreamingLEENApro0 it only registers the movement if your pen is touching the tablet. if you hover over it, the cursor moves.

[ReaL1zeD]

lol what size is this ? im gonna buy medium but it looks so small can u draw a a4 with it?

[blueroanfilly1]

looking for one on ebay right now and i was looking up reviews

[munchlax68]

@colliepuppy1 uh no to draw pictures of ur bamboo as mom and i wanted to c how to use it i have one and all this guy did was talk

[Beffinee]

He sounds like daxflame, LOL.

[itsChrisLife]

[mertoness]

Can you use the tablet on windows?

[dipmvideos]

@mertoness yup!

[firefliesx3x3]

do you see what you're drawing on the tablet or only on your laptop?

[dipmvideos]

@firefliesx3x3 only on your computer screen, yes.

[munchlax68]

i want my 9:43 minutes of my life back

[dipmvideos]

@munchlax68 so you waited that long to figure out that you didnt like the video? i'm sorry, but thats your problem.

[mikee12341]

@dipmvideos yan ang pinoy, haha, tama nga naman :) anyway, nice review :)

[colliepuppy1]

@munchlax68 Hey you chosed to watch the video its only your fault

what were you ganna use them for anyways internet porn?

[shaidan14]

what's its size?

[gjallarnhorn]

Hi! Thanks for your video it's very usefull! One doubt. I have seen a white version of this tablet, do you happen to know if it has the safe functions as this one? Specially the track pad, substituting the mouse. Does it come in a single size?

[dipmvideos]

@gjallarnhorn hey! i actually havent heard of the white one! and as for the trackpad, i prefer to use a regular mouse or the trackpad of my laptop. i really only use the tablet with the pen.

[gjallarnhorn]

@dipmvideos Thank you so much! I hope I'll be buying it soon! See ya!

[dipmvideos]

@gjallarnhorn no problem! :D

[Bluemare40]

Question: when you draw on the computor, csn you see what you're drawing on the tablet.

[dipmvideos]

@Bluemare40 do you mean on the surface of the tablet? if so, no you cannot.

[Bluemare40]

@dipmvideos Yes like on the screen and thanks.

[dipmvideos]

@Bluemare40 no problem!

[RoninYorch]

Thanks sir! Your review was very helpful and helped me decide on buying this tablet! I'm very happy with it!

[dipmvideos]

@RoninYorch no problem! glad i could help, and glad that you're happy!

[OneAndAMerf]

when i try to install bamboo dock my avg protection goes crazy saying thats its harmful to my computer. Any suggestions?

[dipmvideos]

@OneAndAMerf i use a mac, so i've never encountered that problem. i think you should just ignore it though. if its the bamboo driver/software, it shouldnt be harmful.

[Fealons]

I just click on order button so i cant wait till i get it, thank you for the great review, i hope this gone speed up my working in ZBrush too beside photoshop

Thanks again for great review

[bloodlinewolves]

[pauldapurplemonsta]

hey do you have to set a touch setting if your using the usting the touch? or do you just use it? and same with the pen. do u set pen mode or somefin or just use the pen. and if you use the pen, does it mess up the drawings if your skin touches it?

thanks

[ItsHappyBunny24]

:) I have one nooow!

[dipmvideos]

@ItsHappyBunny24 awesome!

[ItsHappyBunny24]

Thanks for the review I now would like one lol.. Just wondering, like how you move with your wrist (I do to) does it leave marks like if I am using photoshop will it mess up my work? or does it only work with pen when drawing? sorry if it sounds confusing or if i am not explaining it good enough.

[dipmvideos]

@ItsHappyBunny24 not at all! if you're using the pen, it wont register any skin contact. I'm glad you founf the review helpful! thanks for watching!

[aortizc82]

Yay! now I have one of this. And its amazing.

[Ipooinpools]

thx man I will totally buy it now xD (I'm not that good at english but you speaked so you could understanded much better thx man)

[dipmvideos]

@Ipooinpools awesome! im glad i was able to help :D

[aortizc82]

I like your review, now I'm convinced of buying this tablet :)

Btw, do you have brackets?

[dipmvideos]

@aortizc82 brackets for what?

[aortizc82]

@dipmvideos teeth brackets

[dipmvideos]

@aortizc82 like.. braces? if so, then no. lol :P do i sound like i do?

[aortizc82]

@dipmvideos just a little

[THEjkllkkljkljkl]

what about gaming? with a pen or fingers

fps game like counter strike and use a sniper

[dipmvideos]

@THEjkllkkljkljkl id never use it for gaming. ever. :P

[THEjkllkkljkljkl]

@dipmvideos why?you dont game?

[dipmvideos]

@THEjkllkkljkljkl its just to awkward to game with a tablet. a mouse is just way more responsive.

[THEjkllkkljkljkl]

@dipmvideos you said you would never use it for that so how do you know?

[dipmvideos]

@THEjkllkkljkljkl i should have said "never use it again" i've tried before. it just wasnt intuitive enough for gaming. i could move my mouse a lot faster.

[THEjkllkkljkljkl]

@dipmvideos what game/what if you put the sensitiviy really high?

i am asking because i cant use a mouse no more=rsi problem so i am looking for an alternative

make some video with fps game but using fingers and use a sniper(counter strike)

[dipmvideos]

@THEjkllkkljkljkl i tired WoW and COD. I think it might have actually not worked when i tried COD. It was hell when i tried wow (i'm sure you can imagine XD) alright, well im in college right now so i dont have time to make more complicated videos. I'll put it on my to do list though! any other games youd like me to test?

[THEjkllkkljkljkl]

@dipmvideos counter strike source or 1.6

just make a server,no bots,i am curious to see how the controls work

can you set it so only one part of it detects fingers? is it better for the hand,more comfortable ,i ask because of rsi i have when using a mouse

how do you left and right click

how to open a scope and then shot,do you have to move your hand a lot to make a turn even with high sensitivity

[dipmvideos]

@THEjkllkkljkljkl i think thats possible, but i've never tried. alright, i'll let you know when i get a videos up!

[THEjkllkkljkljkl]

@THEjkllkkljkljkl and is there a option that a mouse pointer continues to move even if you lift the finger(dont know the tehical term)

i have tried to play with touch pad on laptop once,and the problem is it is small and in the bad place but this wacoom looks to big,i dont want to move my finger,hand a lot

try to do some flickshots with a sniper on some berrels or something

or test it with any fps game that has a sniper and you can play alone

[fpssgamer]

@dipmvideos just rise the sensitivity

[0TGhunter0]

hello i wanted to ask you i got the SyncMaster T260 "26inch" monitor that is 1920X1200 i wanted to start drawing and i am afrade that the midum size will be bad for me since the tablet is alot smaller then my screen or you get used to it?

i buyed this huge monitor becose it whas exstreamly good for video edditing when i eddited back then

its just a huge problem to get it to israel they dont ship it here :(

i just wanted to confirm that the tablet wont be bad for my screen

btw grate review tnx:)

[dipmvideos]

@0TGhunter0 i really dont think it should be a problem. You'll get used to it in no time! I used a 24 inch monitor with mine and i didnt have any problems at all. hope this helps!

[0TGhunter0]

@dipmvideos wow man tnx alot for the fast answer

now i need to find a way to get it :)

[dipmvideos]

@0TGhunter0 yup! let me know when you get it, and what you think of it! hope you're able to get it soon! it's really a great piece of equipment!

[jake77760]

Hey I just got this and can you tell me how to work the pen with it. It wont stop using my hand. The pen will not register with it.

[dipmvideos]

@jake77760 did you intall the drivers? i think that could be your problem.

[tahbonius]

my friend just got me one of these for Christmas...it's fanTAStic!

[dipmvideos]

@tahbonius awesome!

[Mr1591]

did you go to the art academy cause if you did then i think i know u

[dipmvideos]

@Mr1591 no, i didnt :P

[griffy2007]

I decided to buy this one. Arriving in the mail Monday or Tuesday. I can't wait. Thanks again for the review.

[forma90]

Hi I enjoyed your video and found it helpful as I am thinking about buying one. Could you possibly tell me whether the working surface is smooth like the intuos3 or rough like the intuos4 because I have read user concerns over rough surfaces cause nib wear.

[dipmvideos]

@forma90 the intuos4 isn't really that rough. its close to paper. i'd have to say the working area is in between. its not really smooth, but it doesn't quite have the same texture as the intuos4. Thanks for watching! i'm glad you enjoyed!

[RenjiFromHell]

Hi, is it the small of medium size?

[dipmvideos]

@RenjiFromHell this is the medium. thanks for watching!

[alphabethater]

hi, so I plan to buy this tablet, but there was something that was bugging me- so its only Pen or Touch? there will be no trouble with touch? coz I like to put my hand down on working area when I draw ^_^ so you press the button and its only reacts to pen? maybe stupid question but I can`t check in store I will have to order it from net ( thx

[dipmvideos]

@alphabethater you are correct! the touch on/off button will disable touch so that it doesn't interfere with working. thanks for watching! :D

[alphabethater]

@dipmvideos thank you too ^_^

[AtomicNerd001]

no offense but you seriously sound like a character from futurama xD

[dipmvideos]

@AtomicNerd001 ahaha :P none taken. probably true anyway lol

[GrabMySanity]

It's a good review and all, but you should probably think it through a little before filming because you say 'umm' quite a lot and talk very slowly...

but other than that, thanks! You helped a lot, because not many of the other reviews mention the wire.

[dipmvideos]

@GrabMySanity thanks! i really do try to prepare, but i get really nervous in front of a camera! haha :P thanks for watching!

[griffy2007]

@dipmvideos Don't apologize to rudeness. You did very well and I found this review a hundred times better than all the stupid music or long trailers on others that are on You Tube. I'd like to see those whining put up their own videos without verbal pauses.

[dipmvideos]

@griffy2007 thank you so much! im glad there are people that appreciate the videos that i make. viewers like you are what makes making these videos worth while. thank you for your comment and thank you so much for watching my videos :)

[SodaPopElectric]

ugh i wish that wire was detachable. the 1st gen bamboo fun's wire was. it was so nice to not have to worry about it bending in my purse- now i'll have to buy it a case to it doesnt get jacked up.

[dipmvideos]

@SodaPopElectric yup, i would have also loved a detachable cable :S

[meltedtoons]

dude, improvise a bit, it sounds like you're reading off of a speech

[dipmvideos]

@meltedtoons haha i actually dont read off anything in any of my videos. thats why i say "umm" a lot.

[jed6669]

Is this the standard size or the medium size?

[dipmvideos]

@jed6669 this is the medium size, which i think is the standard for the Bamboo Fun model

[koletsa4ever]

Is it a big difference from the wacom bamboo pen?, I mean the touch is make big different?.

[dipmvideos]

@koletsa4ever i honestly almost never use the touch feature one mine.

[daguv510]

This tablet is great! Nice video. Great build quality and works as they say. It is a joy to use, you really gotta try one.

[dipmvideos]

@daguv510 yup, i agree! its amazing and comes pretty close to the intuous!

[MegaFreakOut]

I just ordered the Wacom Craft Pen and Touch a couple of hours ago, and decided to search up some reviews. I understand that the Craft and Fun are different, yet some aspects are very similar. I would like to ask you on your opinion; would you prefer the Wacom Craft, or the Wacom Fun? The Craft was $129 USD, so if you could tell me how much the Fun cost, that would be great. Thank you! (:

[dipmvideos]

@MegaFreakOut mine cost 199. is the medium or A5 sized one. thanks for watching!

[dipmvideos]

@MegaFreakOut the fun is bigger, and i really didnt want something so small because i was moving from a large intuous4

[EternalNyappy]

thanks for this review, I liked it :)

[dipmvideos]

@EternalNyappy thanks for watching! 

[crazybubbles18]

thanks for the review! >w< it helped alot! :D

[dipmvideos]

@crazybubbles18 no problem! thanks for watching!

[MrSonichu]

hey um will the pen for the bamboo fun work on the black wacom bamboo?

[dipmvideos]

@MrSonichu im not sure. never tired. :S

[darknircom]

@dipmvideos so you are never tired o.O try to run 15 miles

[dipmvideos]

@darknircom ahahaha that was supposed to be "i've never tried" :p

[darknircom]

@dipmvideos yeah i know, just trying to be funny, ive got one question, i ordered exacly this tablet, bamboo ... medium ...  all you sayd that it is good for searching webs and editing photos, but is it good for drawing ?

[dipmvideos]

@darknircom perfect for drawing. this is less sensitive than the intuous, but to be honest, i dont feel a difference. the only thing it lacks is the wheel and more programmable buttons, which you might want. the pen is not too good but its not bad either. its an excellent product overall

[darknircom]

@dipmvideos thx, you just got a new sub :)

[dipmvideos]

@darknircom thank you so much! i really appreciate it!

[MegaFreakOut]

@darknircom It's better for drawing than it is for searching web and editing photos. (;

[darknircom]

@MegaFreakOut i know it now :]

[dipmvideos]

@dipmvideos tried

[xItsLisax]

Hi.

What is the difference between this one & The wacom pen & touch. (the black one)

& Which one is better? thanks!

[dipmvideos]

@xItsLisax the only difference that i know of is that this one is slightly bigger. I think either tablet would be good. Thanks for watching!

[FadeInStudio]

excellent! well, good luck with your photography! best wishes.

[dipmvideos]

@FadeInStudio thanks!

[FadeInStudio]

excellent, good luck and congrats. did you buy these yourself or did your parents buy it for you?

[dipmvideos]

@FadeInStudio my parents give me some of these things as gifts, and some of these are actually family equipment, but i save up for most. thanks!

[FadeInStudio]

hi, your filipino right? i got the black wacom bamboo pen and touch. i share the same comments as you do, since i only use mine for editing pictures. your a canon user right? why dont you do a review of your canon 5d? whats your work by the way?

[dipmvideos]

@FadeInStudio yup! i'm filipino. I'm actiually just graduating from highschool. going to college next year. I've been planning to make a 5D review but i just haven't come around to doing it. I'll probably have one out within the next week. possible sooner.

Thanks for watching!
