    As cool as night flying is, notice when Drib is flying and describing his experience saying things like "I can see the clouds," and Bubby is standing next to him saying "really?" It just reminds me that we don't have audience mode.

    Drew, the lens is a circle. More square image will fill the circular field of view better, therefore, you will always get better vertical field of view with 4:3 camera, compared to 16:9. If you put a wider lens and get your "free" updown, you'll start losing the sides to vignetting, effectively turning your image to 4:3

    @@Silor I seemed to have read your comment wrong, my bad, I was multitasking at the time. The vignetting really comes down to how the 16:9 is implemented by default, if it's taking the maximum visible square from center and stretching it horizontally or if it's simply taking a 16:9 view from center, it's hard to tell without seeing their reference checks they did to check the vertical view, and then also on how it was output.

    @@Silor yeah that was rather incorrect to say that at the same focal length it would reduce horizontal field of view in 4:3 versus 16:9. For the same sensor size it would only be an increase in vertical field of view for the same sensor size. Also there is a reason wider lenses aren’t always better. More distortion and less light transmission will result from a wider angle lens.

    I agree, I like the 4:3 -- however stating that you get more width on the 16:9 is not accurate because typically the 16:9 simply stretches the sensor data to the edges and cuts the top and bottom -- just what you were seeing. Also, the color and the image quality looked better on the 4:3.

    Interesting, as Sony A7 photographer since it came out, it's very recognizable that this is a sony sensor. The dynamic range on these is pretty big and the noise floor is pretty low. The way the sky is displayed is excatly how I am able to recover it when I edit my Sony raw files. There is def. some post processing going on as you can notice the sky coming in and out depending on what the brigtest lightsource is. Some kind of threshold gets triggered and then it boost up the dark and brings it into the visible range again which blew my mind back when I switched from my Canon 5D MkII. Really smart choise by Walksnail, didn't even know you could get sony sensors with the same capabilites from the Full Frame sensors in a form factor like this. Question is, is it the sensor of the A7 series or the A7s series. But really amazing to see that Sony sensors are a thing because if you'd put a 1" sensor or perhaps a tad bigger one in there with a neat lens... please give us Sony-Raw/Log internal recording!? 95% would never need a go pro on their quad. Plus price it as a VTX+Camera+150€ go pro... offer it for 250€ and it'll sell like hot pretzels.

So I've been in the DJI ecosystem. I purchased some drones with 03 and converted some to the 03 system. Everyone knows how horrible the '03 camera is in low light. But when you look at some of DJI's camera drones with different cameras and lenses, you're able to get good low light video. There has to be a bunch of people complaining about the low light situation with 03. In anyone's opinion, do you think DJI will listen and offer a camera that will work in low light and the 03? Also, will there come a day when other companies can make cameras that work with the '03 air unit
