I’m a fan of the guys at Fstoppers.com and have been since practically their beginning a little over two years ago. Co-founders Lee Morris and Partick Hall have done a great job with their site by presenting quality content and building a community, all while showcasing their photographic and videographic talents.
With this video, they showcase a little of their humor at all the unboxing vids out there:
I personally never understood the popularity of unboxing videos that don’t actually contain a useful review of the product itself. I also don’t know why so many of them are over 7 minutes long. If anyone has done any research on any product they were going to buy, most manufacturers show/tell you what’s in the box.
All I know is that it took me like a minute to rip into my 1D Mark IV box and get the goods out. I then spent some time going over the new features while the battery charged. After that, I walked outside and started putting it through some paces.
In any case, I think the guys at Fstoppers.com did a great job with this unboxing video. It achieved the usual goal of unboxing vids: wasting my time; but compensated by making me laugh. I watched it like three times.
