I'm not a public speaker either, but there is some crossover with writing in the professions (esp. when we discuss making professional presentations). I don't claim to be an expert, but if you want feedback, I can offer a few brief suggestions. One thing I'd avoid is dissing your effort or tech (i.e., "This camera is poor," etc.) Leave that for the audience to decide; heck, I wouldn't even have noticed or thought that at all. I see no reason to be negative or apologetic for anything; if they don't want to watch, they can just click it off. :)
Absolutely, but it's more for setting expectations and what the situation is more than anything. I kind of like to provide the reason why I do things, then I don't have to mention it again. With all of this prelim stuff out of the way, I can go to the intended format now.

I'm sure you guys must have a blast with all that gear. Would Christina be willing to help out, perhaps? She could demonstrate the technology while you talked about it.
I've thought about that and may very well do it at some point. I want to keep these quick and casual though, so that would probably be a one-off type of program.
