Kevin ( @Kei-Pod ) got a new toy! He purchased and imported a 2000 Subaru Sambar 4x4 directly from Japan, and today we're picking it up from the docks in Freeport, Texas. Join us for this little Kei truck's maiden voyage in the USA!
This is a RAW video in 360°, and it's best viewed on a mobile device. Be sure to manually select the highest resolution available because YouTube usually defaults to a lower resolution. You can pan around in 360° to see anything during the trip, and you can even look around while paused to see different angles.
If you want a completely different experience, you can download this raw file from my Google Drive folder and view it with the free VLC Media Player on your computer. That will let you zoom in/out and pan around with your mouse, and the view is much higher resolution than YouTube provides. Here are the download links...

If you're interested in the video editing workflow and export settings for these 360° videos, then drop me an email at [email protected]... I'll reply with all the gritty details. If there's enough interest, then I might consider doing a behind-the-scenes video on the editing process for my videos... we'll see. These videos take a LONG time to produce, so donations are appreciated. Cheers, and have fun! 😉👍
