I ended up chasing cars like a dog on meth, and seeing how late into the dark I could fly,.. until the mosquitoes found me. More attempting to make things look decent in DaVinci Resolve. This uses the 4x Upscaling feature, some color grading, etc. Nothing went smoothly, but my computer is getting pretty old. ::Gear List:: Stock Eachine H8 Blue Board (w/ prop guards and other superfluous plastic removed) ^^^ w/Silverware firmware (31.10.16 stock) CL-0615-17 Coreless Motor ("INSANELY FAST") ^^ This doesn't make much if any difference imho; stock motors feel just as good. Once again, the only thing that made the H8 fly any better is the Silverware firmware, period! They're on clearance, so I tried 'em; https://www.airbladeuav.com/collectio...

This is all from the FXT DVR, handbrake'd to an editable format, "optimized" for editing in DaVinci Resolve... so in other words; 2 hours before I could even cut it. Ridiculous. This is a lazy, tired cut with an old early noughties Detroit mixtape soundtrack... for some reason "up north" and this music are associated for me. Down the stairs is crazy fun once I found a clear line without ghosties. Did a couple packs without crashing; nothing but laps. When I go out long range over the water, I have to wiggle my wings a bit just to make sure the control link isn't starting to feel laggy... no RSSI on this one. "Good for confuse pontoon crackiz." I even got some low roman salutes out of them, based on our relative positioning no doubt, lol! Lots of Tr*mp stickers around here ; ) ::Gear List:: Stock Eachine H8 Blue Board (w/ prop guards and other superfluous plastic removed) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3531GbVjq0

Random, mostly nocturnal, all handheld shots; nothing deliberate or planned. In LeBoring ol' SEMI burbs. I'm still learning everything, especially how to get the most out of the GH5 at night; this likely represents the rock bottom quality compared to what an experienced videographer could achieve with this combo. This is my new favorite lens, hands down... Chinese glass has been completely spectacular lately! They've really created a lens with serious character and versatility here, especially for night; when I'm actually awake. The halo flaring disappears around F1.1 if you don't like them, and also sharpens up the furthest end (∞) of the focus by a tiny bit which is just barely discernable at 4K. Nearer in, the focus is fairly forgiving wide-open; I found it easy to nail, yet stiff enough to keep my hand on it in case the subject moved. Day shots have a wide range of character, with the flares and refraction feeling very filmic, especially with the sun overhead and the hood off. Fully closed the flares have a distinct asymmetrical shape which I find unique, though it obviously represents a flaw in precision manufacturing that nitpickers will bicker about. I don't work for National Geographic, so I simply don't have a problem with this. I have no commercial affiliation, but I needed a fast wide MFT lens that the Ronin-SC could even lift, and this was affordable. I found an open-box discounted unit from Adorama, and it arrived in perfect condition afai can tell. I wasn't able to find many reviews out when I bought this lens, so I figured may as well make this vid public. Enjoy a candid glimpse into my incessant wandering about in the dark. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgV87hHydCc
