Nice work there slingshot for your first attempts! Liked your language and humorous delivery.
Suggestion - once you learn to edit - you may like to zoom in on the crux and keep videos shorter, between 5 to 8 mins. I have noticed that viewers have very short attention spans and they tend, not to click on longer presentations. You can always do a Part 2!

Thank you for the feedback CKKALYAN. And you are so right. Got carried away with the video. My target is to keep it within 5 minutes. Started work on that and will only post new videos after I have a hang of it. Should not take more than a week. Lots of exciting reviews on the way.

Hi Raghvendra,
I am using a Panasonic Lumix TZ30 and the stand is a regular camera stand. Nothing fancy.

Excellent beginning. Keep it up.
As mentioned earlier shorter videos will find a more receptive audience.
Probably a little bit of scripting with your lines will also assist.
Look forward to your new videos.
Regards,
Pistolero

A very nice review Slingshot, I agree with other members about the length of video, I myself when see the review of any random gear look for the short video versions and then when I like the gear see more detailed reviews in longer ones, having videos in shorter length would definitely have more views. Your language was good(accent free) diction was nice. Have already subscribed now would be looking for upcoming videos
