Thank you!

That's what I love to hear. "It looks like a rolling mirror with four tires!".

Hope all is well Merlin! Thank you for sharing!

Do you have any before pictures?

I don't normally do Before/After pics (Just pics of the finished work).
However, I dug in my archives and found something that may qualify.

Here are pics of the Before/After holograms that covered the vehicle.
It looked like it was attacked by the $10 crew from "Bozo's Buffers".

I have a few that I can use (iPhone 6, Galaxy S7, S9).

I haven't used a gimbal for recording videos but I am actually looking to get an Osmo 3 based on how your videos look! Very professional.

Things learned...

I usually take the vid in 1080p 30fps or 60 fps, not 4k.
The reason is that 4K seems to pause to buffer when streaming.

Osmo 3 has an app. The app Bluetooth connects to your phone.
This is what I use to take the video with (Gimbal buttons control the phone)

I'd suggest getting the "Kit" for about $20 more you get a small tripod, a case, and a few extras.

...again, thank you for you kind words. They are truly appreciated.

What phone do you have?

Have you ever tried a Gimbal?

Awesome job!

What hardware and software do you use to create your videos? They look great.

Thank you that is very kind.

I do it on the cheap and easy.

Hardware:
An old iPhone 6 - 1080p 60fps
DJI Osmo Mobile 3 (to help with the shakes and makes it look smooth)
Without the Gimbal it looked like Michael J. Fox on 5 Red Bulls in an earthquake.

Software:
AVS Video Editor (cheap and easy)

I copy the the movie from the phone to my PC
I import it into AVS video editor as (M4V)
It takes me about 5 minutes to produce the video.
I output/produce the file as (MP4) and upload to YT
