This is just a quick walk around with the following DVR / VRX / AIO combo, plus some minor details I was waiting to learn when I got my hands on it;

The recording quality is the best I've seen thus far, plus I was able to just drag them into DaVinci Resolve 16 without intermediate transcoding!
I'll be playing with it a lot more over the next month as Fall hits and I finish up some builds before Winter.

This is a marker showing off the stock tune of BetaFlight 4.1 on my still somehow unbroken OG Toothpick build (800deg/s x3). I tried to fly it again since the "Powerloop Training Barn" location and it was horribly touchy at anything more than quarter deflection. BF4.1 made it even better, though there is still flutter on high throttle which I still have to figure out how to mitigate. I think the only reason why it hasn't been destroyed yet, is because it flies so smoothly; I can control it predictably.

This is in 4K, cause YouTube.

This is not a fun product to use!
Regular boring location; just testing the DVR and annoyingly complex and time-consuming post-production software pipeline.

1 of 4 packs before the rain came down and resulted in total "RXLOSS". Still gotta take it all back apart and coat it up, plus fix the camera now. Session edit to follow.

Emax Tinyhawk 1st 4-pack session (Kabab's tune still, sux for me on TH props)
I'm still grading on a curve cause of how impressive the H8 was. Lots more H8 to come!
The camera and VTX are... well... if it isn't obvious, compare it to other things.
Wobbly-ass POS in any turbuhlance whatsoevaar. Needsum seckuuuretteh, up in hurr... so I don't hit the blacktop chasing cars. Washes out easily; needs moar tilt. I like the better punchout, but I'm thinking I can solve that on the H8's w/ Nano QX props or something.

Still beatin' on the big girl... I hear they like to be treated bad, so I'm obliged to do so. Guy was in town, so I was showing off the tech.
Apparently homey wasn't impressed cause he wants to spray perfume on weddings or some kind of ridiculous bullshit he should be ashamed of even thinking, lol. Less distraction is good, so... peace guy.
Yeah it's the old junker still... she won't die;
