    I watched this assuming I'd see some cheesy stuff; I was wrong for sure. Great video and cool items, awesome job! My only feedback would be to keep the videos short, there was a study around videos and those that were in the 3 minute range tended to get more views than longer videos. I can definitely relate... When looking up quick things on YouTube I avoid those lengthy videos when you know it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get the point across. Awesome job again and nice shots, can't wait to see the next one.

    Hey man good stuff! I am curious about the air neutralizer/scent remover....I don't like scents, so this might be what I need. Subbed for sure. Thanks!

    Also... forgot to add, I heard the key fob cover reduces the range of your signal drastically, did you find this to be true?

    Thanks Dre! I think it may be true. Usually in my coat pocket or pant pocket I don't have any issues on the daily. But the other day I had it inside a leather bag in my back seat and a "is your key in the vehicle" message appeared. Pulled it out of my bag and it was fine.

    Not bad! Some constructive criticism. Biggest things that stand out to me from a production value stand point are sound and lighting. You're voice quality is significantly worse when showcasing the products and you are behind the camera. Try using a dedicated mic instead of the on board camera mic for all sound work so that it is consistent for all clips. Lighting is decent near a large window but the thumbnail of you in front of the camera immediately looks pretty dim and looks like it was shot in your bedroom/basement. Pick up some spot/flood lights and mount them on either side at an angle shooting through some diffuser sheets. Or get some legit light panels if you're really invested in growing your channel. I've seen a lot of the style videos from tech channels, it'd be nice to see some car related content with high production value. You may have a good niche here. Check out mkbhd, techsource, hardware Canucks and see if you can get some inspiration regarding lighting and sound production.

    Thank you very much!!! This is excellent feedback and exactly what I need to improve the quality of my videos.

    It started as just a hobby, and I was just trying out different formats to see what I like and the challenges. I do struggle with lighting and sound so this helps.

    I've invested in more sound equipment and well as trying to figure out a new set.

    There's a format I love by a YouTube channel called Linustechtips. I think I'll try it out for my next review.

    I did try out the Nitze product first before the Nochoice.

    My biggest issue was that it worked ok for the iPhone 6 plus with the apple leather case, but it started dropping down when I would have a power cord connected or had a heavier case on.

    I found the Nochoice magnet to be strong enough to hold up my iPhone 6 Plus with a heavier case and cord connected without drooping.

    Only thing to keep in mind is that it is a magnet so you need to keep it away from your credit cards.

    LTT is another great channel. If you can't invest in new lights yet, just try and replace the bulbs in whatever lamps you're going to use in your setup with daylight white 5000K bulbs instead of the warmer soft white 2700K bulbs most conventional home lights use.
