First let me say that you got most of the information across, the main purpose of a review. One criticism concerning the information, you said something about six pieces of laminated maple to make the shaft. Those familiar with the shaft will realize that you are talking about each of the six pieces being laminated but people not familiar with the shaft will almost certainly think that you are talking about six pieces of maple total that are laminated together.

Now on to the nuts and bolts of video. If you don't have an uncluttered background to work with hang a backdrop, a simple plain colored bed sheet will work. If you wear a shirt with any printing or logo on it make sure it is something you want to advertise or promote otherwise wear a plain shirt that isn't distracting. Set the camera on autofocus and move things that you want it to focus on slowly into a close up view. You may have been moving the shaft too close to the camera for it to be able to focus too, I don't know. Twirling the shaft in front of your face was just distracting, not an effective presentation.

I spend a lot of time critiquing photographs on another site and am in the habit of being rather direct with suggestions for possible improvement. This does not mean that I think the video was bad, just that it could be better. Please accept this as hopefully constructive criticism. You made a very good effort and overall a good presentation. People with no knowledge of the OB-2 should gain some knowledge of it from your review. Thanks for putting it up!

umm im canadian too...sorta like.."haha he said zed and not a lot of people will know why unless they're from north of the border?"

btw to the OP, make more videos! some people appreciate them! hm listen to shootingarts. just dont twirl the shaft in your video makes you look like someone who souldnt be making videos like tom cruise in Colour of Money.

merci beaucoup!

A couple of critiques since you asked..

Make your bed!
Straighten your room!
& what Hu said! :) just messing with you, nice job.

I too am a recent OB2 purchaser and I love the shaft.. I thought the video was good, your voice was nice and clear. Maybe plan your thoughts out ahead of time, have a poster board to cue your thoughts in a concise order, you rambled a bit.

Overall, I thought you did a nice job and it was cool of you to take the time to do your review. Listen to what others said, Hu had some great advice so I will not repeat what he said. Keep it up, and thanks for your contributions.

Peace, Joey

thanks for your critique i will work on the rambling and straightening out stuffs lol.
I posted a short tip pik review for you guys if you want to see.
Im glad you guys liked the review i hope to do alot more c=.
 
Might I suggest perhaps reshooting the video, possibly in an applicable environment to the product, with all the changes suggested above (especially the twirling and putting the shaft toward the camera).
Make some additional changes such as:
-Double Check some facts first
-Updated price, or rather source for lowest cost
-Change terms, ie 'Marketing Scam' to 'Marketing Gimmick'
-Proper Pronunciation of terms such as 'Ferrule', 'Conical', 'Z-Shaft', '314'
-Explain Conical Taper, as oppose to Pro Taper, to those who might not know it.
-Maybe explain how Low Deflection is achieved, and greater detail into its construction, like the sound dampening foam, and lower end mass.

Maybe write what you're going to say ahead of time, on a card or script, that way it seems more coherent.

Again, as Hu stated earlier, This does not mean that I think the video was bad, just that it could be better. Please accept this as hopefully constructive criticism. You made a very good effort and overall a good presentation. People with no knowledge of the OB-2 should gain some knowledge of it from your review. Thanks for putting it up!
 
Wow thats alot of good stuff Hellfish
thanks ill probably do a retake with what you said but not so soon i want to do a video on one of the recently popular threads "cant control my nerves" because its a interesting subject and its a change of pace from just soley reviews.

Lol how do you pronounce Ferrule and conical? and 314 LOL! For the Z i just say Zee instead of Zed?
