All very well but you know that you have already killed, is it 2 diodes? by connecting in this way........So you know it is the wrong thing to do
I know you put the rider at the end to say it will most likely fry the LD but how many will think it is worth the chance, especially as the Kipkay video advocates the same nonsense.

I hope, if Senkat gets sales from the video, they are not followed by disgruntled customers asking for a refund as the LD you sent me doesn't work....

You asked us what we think, well sorry but that is what I think.

Again, this video could use a lot of improovement.It's not clear enough:The camera is facing upwards which kinda makes it harder to follow,the stuff and the light in the background make it even harder to follow.Camera is too close to the subject which not only messes with the focus giving you a blury image but narrows your field and some of the stuff you are doing cannot be seen.The instructions are hard to read because they appear over the moving image also making the video itself yet even harder to follow.Adding to that , the creepy text and sound at the beggining don't really have anything to do with the content of the video.And finaly, the track you used is probably just a song you like, but I don't find it apropriate for a tutorial type video since you don't need to listen to music and lyrics while you try to get stuff in your head, I dunno, maybe use some kind of ambiental music to make the video more atractive and less dull , get a clearer picture with a wider angle,text on a black background, subtitle type or even narrated instructions , stay on topic and give as clear/simple/to the point/short/ as possible steps.Thats just my opinion
