Hey man don’t worry about the video editing coments, i don’t know who in their right mind expects to see a hollywood style production out of an online product review. Anyways, do you have any idea how this thing would hold up if say your office catches on fire and then sprinklers go off while this unit is running? It’s impressive to see the thing work after being drown and caught on fire, but what good does it do if an electrical surge fries your hard drive when water gets in it while it’s running?

Great review. And you showing yourself taking out every screw does earn you credibility, no doubt. Camera work was perfectly fine for filming by yourself, didn’t miss a thing.

Hi Kristofer

I liked your review – its very hard to film yourself, and yes there will allsways be people complaining – dont sweat it..

You wanted to show the entire process and you did, what do people expect… for sure they are not able to do better

Hi Fred….Tools to speed things up? Like what tools? a screwdriver was all that was needed..
and as for seeing every screw being taken out, well I thought about editing it, but then I’m sure someone would have said it’s fake and I swapped another one in or something.. so there’s no winning is there?!

videos need editing. we didn’t need to see you unscrew EVERY screw.
the reviewer having some TOOLS to speed things up and seem a bit more professional would have also been more credible. i mean seriously..wtf.

ummm.. I don’t have a fireplace… nor do I think I know anyone that actually has one… and as I mentioned it’s already been burned, but I’ve never seen it drowned..

as for camera and tool skills? Huh? What did I do wrong? It was much easier to hold the camera top make sure I got everything in there, if it was on a tripod, for the first film, I would have had to have been moving the tripod around and that would have been worse…

and what’s wrong with my tool skills? what I missed a screw? oh noes….

Wish you would have burned it before drowning it. Ever heard of a fireplace? Fireplaces are legal you know.

This was a nice review but you could have planned it better. Work on your camera and tool skills.
