Why could have bought a brand new? Forerunner Why all the trouble? Well, it has something to do with what they call his inner child. something to do with protecting his inner child so he thinks.

And this spirited man aimed to capture the exact moment when his inner child appeared came out to play. Capture it with this camera. This camera you Sony you in your ass I Set the camera on the dash with a special little rig I Made just for the occasion, turn the camera on. Folded out the LCD screen so that I could confirm that it was recording which I did and which it was I release the parking brake, put the car in gear and drove off in the Beautiful Montana snow in four-wheel drive and it was like I was a kid.

I Was so ecstatic to have my new truck and I lost myself in the moment and to me, it was the most important shot of the whole video. And this is what the camera did to us.

    I love how much you love this truck. I've had three trucks, 2 Toyotas & 1 Ford F-150. I've had a Honda Civic, I've had two Toyota Prius, I've had a Ford E-350 van. I have a RAV4 now. But none of them have I loved as much as you love this Land Cruiser. It's inspirational. I miss my F-150, but not that gas mileage. And now I want the F-150 Lightning or a Rivian. Even after I get my dream truck, I still won't have that same love I see in your videos. Congrats on the new guts of your Toyota!

    I've used the ZV-1 to record my stage performances, and so many of those files where corrupted. As it turns out, you're apparently supposed to reformat the SD-card every chance you get

    If the shot of you driving in the snow was that important, you should've had a second camera rolling…

    As they say, "Two is One. One is None."
