Work of art, it may be, but it's utter bollocks as a meaningful test.
What would make it more of a meaningful test ? not having a go just interested as there is enough info in there to make a purchasing decision
Agree it is a work of art

The "testing" of the wheel balance was hopeless. You can't test a liquid balancer with a static balance, you need a dynamic balancer such as you might find doing car wheels at a tyre fitters. Equally, you can't balance a liquid filled tyre on a static balancer.
The puncture test also looked a bit random.
I of course was being flippant
As some of you may have seen I run a fairly modest channel where we review classic bikes (and some modern classics)
It started because I have been doing onboard videos for years (going back to 2005 when I strapped a big old video camera to my GS and filmed the adelaide hills)
Fast forwad to 2021 I am back living in the UK and back in touch with my mates from the 1970s and we have access to a load of very tasty classic bikes and a pretty good level of knowledge
So the process is :
Find negotiate and procure bikes to film
Arrange date for filming (hardest part when everyone is free bike is availible and weather plays ball)
Decide suitable location
Get whoever you are interviewing prepared and scripted
Whole day of filming Onboard with Go pro, Beauty and interviews mirrorless
Ensure clean Audio (this is much much harder than the video bit)
Post production
Go through everything you have filmed and recorded and choose optimum clips
Create the Story before you jump into editing (this is also vital ) ie Storyboard
Colour grade all clips to ensure they have a similar colour profile (DaVinci resolve or Adobe Premier)
Clean Audio using Audacity
Find any advertising pics etc
put all that together into a timeline Premier
Choose Audio (I use epidemic sound)
Create first cut
Send out to the team for review - this is an iterive process - I tell the guys to be brutal and can go through 5 or so versions
when you have the finished video send to the owner of the bike or shop owner for approval
Publish
Get slagged off coz it is shite in the comments section
.... must have been 30-40 hours of graft. They separated after three years.
I think that you should start the whole procedure with the storyboard.
Sorry, I know that's not funny but I just laughed out loud...
And then went to put it together adding soundtracks, stills and burning to DVD etc. As a novice the amount of hours that went into it, such a steep learning curve..... must have been 30-40 hours of graft. They separated after three years.
but to do all that for a wedding then they split up anyway, must feel like a smack in the face lol
love the idea of a portable sound recorder to get ambient sounds
When i did the NC500 i took a single camera, a Gopro hero 9. And filmed as much as i could.
I had no idea how i was going to put this footage together as i have never edited a video before.
i downloaded some free editing software and started..... and then give up!
Crikey, its one thing filming stuff but you need a computer degree to sort it out lol
as i watch a fair bit of YouTube, i now have a massive respect for anyone putting their videos out there.
Anyway roll on a year or so and my mate was asking what happened to the footage i filmed when we did the Scotland trip?
So i started tinkering and ironically watching other YouTube video on how to edit video using the software i downloaded.
and by some sheer miracle i managed to put something together that nearly makes sense!
Roll on a month and i have 26 people who have subscribed to my channel and over 350 views!!! (not exactly Itchy Boots i know)
i am amazed and i have to be honest i didn't expect views, i just did it as a challenge to myself and a little promise
to my mate who went to Scotland with me that i would share it with him.
i half expected my mate would be the only viewer lol
if anyone on here has a channel on YouTube that posts regular content, fair play to you!

Works great but make sure you include a synch point (clap is best) a lot of the good editors will do auto synch but its not always 100% accurate - plus it amuses your mates and gives them somethig to rip the piss out of you about which is always a bonus
Me to respect for all of the YouTubers it snot easy I have been having fun on mine youtube@flapjackandbeans for over a year and i was the same started out trying cameras and all that im still trying not everyones cup of tea but i like doing it.
