I just had time to set up the wide-angle camera. A more professional recording with different perspectives and a good overall picture will follow. With this video I would like to say a big thank you to all subscribers and supporters of my channel of all kinds for the 200 subscriptions! It's really great that you exist and that you support me! :-))
