Why it works

Captain Kearn reaches hands-on makers who are actively buying printers, filament, electronics, tools, and workshop upgrades. Sponsored products are not just mentioned; they are tested inside real builds, repairs, and livestreamed troubleshooting where viewers ask questions before they buy.

Our audience doesn't just watch, they build. Viewers actively seek recommendations on 3D printers, filament, tools, electronics, and workshop upgrades before making purchasing decisions.

Every product featured is tested in real projects and live streams. Honest reviews, troubleshooting, and transparent feedback have built trust that drives engagement and purchasing confidence.

Project videos, tutorials, and product demonstrations continue generating views long after publication, delivering ongoing exposure and long-term value for brand partners.

Frequently asked

Questions sponsors ask us most

Don't see yours? Get in touch and we'll walk you through it.

Product Offerings5 questions
Do you offer paid reviews?
No. We clearly label our paid videos as "overviews" and always identify them as sponsored. At your request, we can include both positive feedback and constructive criticism to help the video feel more balanced and less promotional — or we can remit that feedback to you privately. We generally recommend that brands exercise as little editorial control as possible. You're paying for our authentic voice to our audience, and we wouldn't be working with you if we didn't think the product was good!
Do you offer category exclusivity?
No, we do not offer category exclusivity.
What types of brands do you work with?
We're interested in high-quality products and services that provide real value to our audience. The better the fit for a maker/DIY audience, the better the ad will perform. Our best performers tend to be 3D printing products, tools, and other maker services.
Do you offer discounts for multi-video packages or long-term partnerships?
Yes, we do! Contact us to discuss.
Can we provide talking points or a creative brief?
Yes, and we'd love to receive them! That said, the whole reason you're working with us is for our authentic voice and the way we present things to our audience. We do not read verbatim talking points or allow brand rewrites of our content.
Sponsorship Terms8 questions
When can I expect the video to go live?
Most sponsored content is published within 14-30 days of receiving products and campaign materials. Larger projects, reviews, and custom builds may require additional testing time.
How long will my ad stay in the video?
Sponsor mentions and integrations remain in the video indefinitely, providing long-term exposure through evergreen content and future views.
Can I review your contract?
Yes. Sponsorship terms, content usage rights, deliverables, and licensing agreements are available for review prior to campaign approval.
Do we get to review the video before it goes live?
Pre-publication review is available for sponsored messaging, product specifications, and factual accuracy. Creative and editorial decisions remain at the creator's discretion.
How many rounds of revisions are included?
Two rounds of revisions are included for sponsored messaging, factual corrections, and brand compliance. Additional revisions may incur additional fees.
What are your payment terms?
Invoices are due within 15 days (Net 15). New partners may require partial or full payment prior to content production. Long-term partners may qualify for alternative billing arrangements.
Will you disclose the sponsorship?
Yes. Transparency is a core part of our relationship with our audience. Sponsored content is clearly identified through on-screen disclosures, verbal acknowledgments, and platform-required sponsorship notices where applicable.
Can you put the name of my product in the title of the video?
Product names can be included in video titles for relevant sponsored content. Final title decisions are made to maximize audience engagement and content performance.
Usage Rights4 questions
Do you allow paid promotion / whitelisting on the sponsored content?
Answer: Yes, with additional licensing.
Can I embed your video on my website or kickstarter page?
Yes. Sponsors and partners may embed published videos on websites, landing pages, Kickstarter campaigns, and other promotional pages.
Do you allow editing, clipping, and reuploading the content?
Generally, no — but it's negotiable. Starting rates are an additional 50% of the deal size for a 3-month license.
Can we get access to raw footage or b-roll?
Yes, upon request. Licensing fees may apply depending on usage rights and distribution requirements.
Shipping & Logistics4 questions
Do you keep the product after filming, or do we get it back?
That is Negotiable
Who covers shipping costs?
Sponsors cover shipping
Who covers customs fees?
Sponsors cover any customs costs.
Where are you based?
Colorado
Tracking & Reporting2 questions
Do you provide performance metrics and analytics?
Yes! We offer a complete, interactive dashboard to sponsors where you can track clicks, views, comments, and even viewer sentiment. You can also request detailed performance analytics, demographics, and click statistics once every 30 days.
Can we provide a specific CTA, discount code, or tracking link?
Absolutely. We always use our affiliate referral link unless specifically requested otherwise — this allows us to track campaign performance and surface that data in your campaign dashboard.
