My first video- so any feedback would be nice! For the techies amongst you I have a Canon 5D with a 24-70mm (0.38m macro) lens

Originally recorded in full HD and the 10min file ended up being over 3GB so I had to convert it to a lower quality sample.

Will experiment in future video's to hit (attempt) the sweet spot in terms of quality and filesize balance.

Much thanks to Mr Dagon007 for nudging me to stop procrastinating and actually upload a video :thumbup:

Sorry to be so late responding, but I just stumbled upon this post. Beautifully shot video. I love that you can actually see the grain in the wood and the quality of the polish. Nicely done in that regard. THe only thing I might add to future vids would be some basic explanation of how the knife works (in this case, a brief description and visual example of how the Virobloc functions) and some basic specs, like blade length, thickness, overall length of the knife, and so on. I know there are numerous other Opinel videos that give this info, but it wouldn't hurt to include it all the same. I have at least a dozen and a half Opinels of various sizes (Vive l'Opinel! ), but none of the fancier or limited editions, so thanks again for the excellent camera work. :thumbup:
