My unprofessional review of the GK5

I've never done a car review before, it's harder than it looks!


Enjoy!

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. One suggestion... you maybe could mention the extras you have like the cargo lid and trunk liner as being optional.

Good call I should annotate that. I didn't leave myself nearly enough B roll for voice over. Oh well, it's a learning process.

Great video Thanks for sharing! What was the device hanging from your rear view mirror?

It's a dashcam, starts recording automatically whenever the car is started and shuts itself off when the car turns off. The footage driving over the bridge is actually from the dashcam. Very decent quality video and great to have in the case of an accident.

It's a Black Box G1W-H if anyone is interested.

Very well done!! You should consider going Pro!
You even picked a beautiful backdrop ... nice roads and scenery, a pleasure to watch.

Thanks for the Dash-cam info. Did you post your installation in another thread? I know there was some posting back and forth about the different cameras and how they were installed but can't remember where. Was it Rottboy's Mod thread???

Also nice shot of that "gadonk-a-dunk", back there!

I can make another video of the install. Pretty easy overall but it's always easier to have someone else test the waters when it comes to wire routing and stuff like that. I can probably make a video this weekend.

*Non*-professional, mayhap, but certainly not *un*professional!

Nice job. I'm in the information gathering stage for my next car purchase and your review answered a few questions.

Very well done! This definitely as good as the other reviews I've watched and better than some of the dealer reviews to boot.
