I suppose drop outs and bandwidth issues are part and parcel of going live, something you don't know is happening until its reported. You can't exactly bring a BBC film crew to a job nor have the guarantees of Virgin/BT etc that you have full bandwidth.
On the whole, of late, all the videos you've gone live with have been fine and watchable and not really any difference to a recorded one.
It's become your niche to "go live" with warts n all, so i suppose every now and again there will be a glitch in quality. It's unavoidable at this level of youtube video.....
Making videos myself (which could fall into the category of one the responders, of produced bullshit) it's almost impossible, when filming live, to be able to show live data without concentrating on the camera angle to avoid glare or reflections, mistakes happen live too and are shown, this is part of the "style" of video. As is the "wobbly" view or sharp movements when moving around the car, I'm sure once the gimbal is mastered, this will be a thing of the past
I won't go live myself, due to how I have to do my jobs (always got 3-5 minimum on the go and take 10 times longer than they shoul), I use an editing software, mainly to stitch them together and edit out my constant verbal mistakes, interruptions or me knocking the camera over ...lol
The comment from "spiced monkey" I'd take as constructive criticism, use it and move forward.......Keep doing it your way and the content building up....
ps...$200 is 3 times more than me ...lol
ps.....how is the MX5 coming on?
