That would highly come down to whether he uses the same camera settings (not auto) for every video, otherwise it’s completely useless across his videos.
I can’t sit and listen to someone for 8min commenting on the quality of the cardboard box and crisp packaging while viewing it lovingly from every angle.
I’m not “into” review videos, but those I’ve seen and liked are RustyJoe, Markus, The Flasholic (’though I tend to skip the “Dangerous Place” part), Matt/VOB (forgot the channel name), and a bunch of others that come’n’go.
i honestly don’t mind charles. youtube allows you to fast-forward, you know… you can even put it on 5x speed!
maybe he isn’t as technical as the other… well, shills. but he’s got it down pretty good and seems to work out for him. i’m sure companies are happy to send him free stuff for promotion to his 30k subs.
sorry, 20k. you know a lot about charles. you must look up to him
i’m sure it has a lot to do with the influx of shills , no doubt about it. good luck with your channel and what not, i actually don’t mind it, for the content atleast…
I would disagree. He is quite good but more importantly he is a pioneer of flashlight video reviews. I am not saying he invented them but he has been doing them an awful long time.
My preference is more technical reviews who test the light for runtime, output, not just talk about it and show some pictures of it and beamshots. I enjoy Flashoholic or PiercingtheDarkness. LiquidRetro is solid, and Matt Smith was one of the first video reviewers I ran across back in 2018.
LuxWad makes some beautiful looking and informative videos.
I also very much enjoy Cheules Flashlight Reviews.
Looking through my YouTube Subscriptions, I see I also watch good amount of videos from the following channels.
Trailtrek, Peircing The Darkness, FLASHAHOLIC, Flashlight Enthusiast, Throw Hound, Weerapat Kiatdumrong, Richard O, LiquidRetro, Matt Smith,
Then there are the text/photo/graph reviewers like Zeroair, 1Lumen, Tactical Grizzly, as well as many others including BLF members posting their reviews and insights here.
Who’s the guy with the drone shots? Often has a dog walking down a trail, etc. He’s got some good beamshots.
And there’s the Russian(-language) guy who shines around docked cargo ships, think he’s also the same guy who has puppies in a makeshift shelter in his backyard or something, too. Nice practical distance shots (ships) as well as close-ups (puppies).
