Another good video. As a sniper, I have absolutely nothing against your tactics. You're just playing smartly as far as I can see. If you were spawn camping, and maybe grenading people before they could react, then I might be a little worried (specific example, you did exactly this to me twice in the same game, but no hard feelings really).
But back to my point, using this tactic, you're still vulnerable to people doing the same (I thought that guy on top of the tower was going to at least take a shot or two at you). You're not camping out in the redline so that only snipers and long ranged tanks can get you, you're using a legitimate tactic and a lack of thought on the part of the enemy as part of a team effort to try and win the map. If they'd decided to just look up, they could have found a way to stop you from being effective, or they could have killed you.
Only minor quibble, in your videos you say that you put info about how to join up with your corp in the description, try as I might I can't seem to find it. (Not that I'm ready to join a corp quite yet, but maybe soon).
When I play as a sniper, I'm more likely to be nearer to the opponents redline than my own.

Apply to Freek Coalition whenever ready and we'll be more than happy to have you in :)
I'm less sure you'll be more than happy to have me as I'm mostly a solo sniper, which is probably not the best thing to admit when I espouse teamwork so much on the forums now I come to think about it......

Well you've already pretty much covered how I play a sniper in the point defense video, the only differences are I keep an eye out for other snipers as well and I tend to stick to the outside of the map when it's possible.

counter sniping is always useful :)
First match with a Charge Sniper rifle I made my way to the opposing redline, getting a couple of kills on the way, and I found two red dots on the other side of the valley, obviously sniping. So I took them out quickly and decided to wait and see if they came back. And one of them did, so I took him out again. In that match I got 7 kills, 4 of which were the same red, going back to the same point. I actually felt a little bad about that. Just a little.
