Default You Only Live Twice

I was testing out some new camera equipment, and figured my XK would make a good test subject.

By the way, you are welcome to download the video. The downloaded "original" version will be of much better quality and much smoother.

Thanks for the compliments. For those who might be interested, the video was shot using a small point-and-shoot camera (albeit a very expensive one). The entire rig, including the camera, tripod and jib (basically, a miniature crane), weighs about five pounds (2.3 kg), and folds down to a length of two feet.

Thanks, Mike. The jib is called the Aviator Travel Jib. It's the carbon fiber version, which weighs less than three pounds and folds down to about two feet.

Beautiful car and shoot. You really found some nice angles on it! However I did find something to complain about Why use a soundtrack for a car that has its own? Just stick the car in idle and capture that (Challenge challenge!).

Thanks for the clip! I hope to see more in the future...

That can be arranged.
