Pentax K-1ii unboxing video

Hi All

So, the K-1ii arrived yesterday. I used the K-5 to shoot the unboxing video. Please excuse the quality of the sound - I'm no videographer!

You Tube

A huge thank you to Adam and Pentaxforums.com for making this possible.

KInd regards,
Mark

Mark - you did a fine job with the unboxing video!!

I especially like that you were smiling pretty much constantly throughout, and I can completely understand why!

It's so nice to put a face to the name, especially since we've been working together for a little while.

I'm both disappointed and relieved you didn't wear lycra for the video!

Unless... your undergarments?...

Great job, my friend, and - once again - many congratulations... It couldn't happen to a nicer chap. Well deserved

@MarkJerling,

Congrats on winning the camera! This is the only 'unboxing video' that I've ever watched -- I wouldn't have missed it. The K-5 did a swell job here. Enjoy!

Cheers,

- Craig

Thank you Mike. Much appreciated.

The reason I did not wear lycra is because then I'd have to do the video on the bicycle, or in a coffee shop. Both these obstacles proved too much for me!

Thank you Craig! Like you, I don't do 'unboxing videos'. Thanks for sitting through it with me.

Excellent Mark! It's the first unboxing video I'e watched, and it seems quite well done.
Like Mike, I'm a wee bit surprised that you were wearing 'regular' clothes and not lycra...

Enjoy the camera!

I'm sorry Ian! It's still a pretty unreal feeling.

Thank you Robert. As you can probably tell, I don't normally video anything - much less myself!

As for the lycra - I did not want to create a PG video!
