Hi all,

I'm a fairly new UltraSabers customer, and wanted to get in on the great video review program.  This is the first lengthy video I've done and especially the first of any kind of product review.  I had to do a good bit of editing to trim to YouTube requirements, so apologies in advance if the flow is a little off.  Thanks to all who've provided so many great video reviews and tutorials--many have been a great help to me both in deciding on purchasing an UltraSaber and in learning how to do more with my sabers.  

As I say in the review, I do welcome comments good or bad on the content and format of the video so I can improve for future posts.

Great video, very very informative and useful tips.  I only recently got my own first sabre and did my first review too (Archon 2.1) can be hard to know what to say in a review but I think you really hit the nail on the head in terms of content and setting those tips out 'dot point' style at the end.  If I ever get another sabre I'll certainly go for a Diamond one, so great to see another new users perspective on it.
Glad you got a sabre you really enjoy, keep enjoying it!

Hi, thanks for the notes on my video!  I tried to go for something more instructional/tip-oriented because I couldn't do any better showing off the activated saber light and sound than many of the other reviews already posted.  Due to the YouTube upload limits, I ended up cutting a number of comments that I thought would be helpful because I didn't want to split into a multii-part review.  Glad what was left was still deemed useful.

I am just finishing watching your video--that Archon is a great model and I'm sure I'll add that to my collection eventually.  My compliments on the fine job you did with your review--seemed like you did it all in one take and even if not it's very smooth and to the point.  I learned a few pointers on customization as well.  We seem to have similar views on some of the options being more desirable than others.  I may have to go with the lighted AV switch for my next model.   Smiley

By the way, how did you get your video to embed?  Yours has the embedded thumbnail as it should and it plays perfectly.  I tried several ways to embed mine but never could get it to work, so had to settled for the pasted URL.

Take out the 's' in https, and in 'should' embed properly.
Nice review of a nice saber

Thanks for the tip.  Didn't seem to change anything removing the "s" but will see if others can see a difference.

Thanks for the review and a very nice saber. Good tip on the guarded switch, I hit and turn on the lockup effect all the time when handling it.
