You've done a good job with this - certainly a unique concept with the 360 passenger view. I also know how hard it can be to talk for extended periods on camera, especially while trying to drive as well! You're clearly able to maintain a train of thought throughout which is a brilliant skill. Some suggestions for you: I think some external cameras, so you can create a little variety at key moments will help keep viewers interested. I think an improved sound quality would be a bonus too, as you get a bit of crashiness coming through over the nasty rough bits of road, probably some of it from the camera mount. Perhaps an exhaust mic for the louder cars too 😁 Oh, and your air freshener keeps grabbing my eye 😂
@@georgemayson4936 thank you, George, I really appreciate the feedback! The audio is something I aim to rectify shortly with some DJI Mics, as the internal mic on the x4 isn't the greatest, even with mic covers. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a successful way to edit the 360 content if it's across multiple clips; which means everything needs done in one take and generally unscripted (especially if I want to "maintain the journey"). Splicing the 360 content together with single-lens content without flattening the image has also been a pain point. I think I may need to split the series into two; one with the more traditional approach, with quality edits and perhaps focusing more on a car's visual aesthetic, and a second 360° only series that's more about the cars themselves and the roads/places being visited. Thanks again for taking the time to provide feedback, it's really helpful at this early stage of the channel! You're not the first to mention the air freshener. I'll either need to move it or get one that's REALLY eye catching! 😂
Can sense your passion for the E70 coming through the screen - it's infectious; keep it up! But as a correction, the engine doesn't have two turbos (you called it twin turbos), but one twin-scroll turbo (a turbo with 2 fans for the low and high rev range).
@editorschoice5512 thanks for watching and for the feedback! During my research, everywhere I looked says the 40d is twin-turbo but they've possibly made the same error as myself. The more you know! If you liked this video, stay tuned for the next as we've got something a little special on our hands.

@@motoringmoods Motoring Moods air-freshener merch opportunity.
@@blurigard447 fantastic idea! What scents does everybody want? 😁
anything at all. I'll buy to support the channel.
@@blurigard447 thanks, that's kind of you.
I guess I better get looking into custom air fresheners then!
