It is a pity that the board itself is relatively expensive as you can buy a mini PC with the 5825U (barebones) for $191 USD vs. the Odroid H4 Ultra for $220 USD.
Comparing to CWWK, price is similar for N305 but quality/support etc odroid has better.

Looks like a nice board. Have you had any compatibility issues or issues of any kind with it?

Didn't You say that the Koreans have higher quality standards than the Chinese....guess not...
In this case, where I listed all pros of odroid comparing to chinese cwwk, yes, I said that (:
I adore your videos! Can I email it to you?
