CADDX Loris "4k60", Ratel, Nebula analog Latency, Image quality and a BUZZARD!

If you're here for the Buzzard, check 11:46 ;) - in my Caddx Cam-Review I didnt compare the digital image vs. stock DJI, because we already know it doesnt look good. I measured the analog latency and give you an idea of the 4k60 quality you can expect from the 10gr Loris board cam.

DJIFPV Summer Riverruns (scary as s.... to fly that close and fast over water)

Found the confidence to fly more over our river "Schwarza" (Black river) on 5 different spots around here. Of course you need to powerloop that bridges - but throttle response should be trained to catch the copter before it's his last DIVE ;)
Hope this helps you cool down if it's hot, and hope it brings light, sunshine and warmth to you if you are down there in the winter!

DVR Chronicles Part2 (Emax HawkPro Caddx Vista)

Since the beginning, this little Emax HawkPro power quad really delivers!
Please support with 👍 and 🔔 thanks ;-) it helps a lot!
Because it's small but powerfull and a gopro wouldnt fit easy (and make it heavier) my "DVR chronicles" series was born. Still got loads of great flights which I will keep combining to such FPV vids. I dont wanna fall behind too much with using these flights (older footage tends to be forgotten in my collection). Next will have more commentary - curious how you like this approach.
thanks for watching and commenting,
Greets, Mario

Tutorial: SUPERVIEW with NIEK Script - the SUPER EASY way

Wanna get the cool, fisheyed look that most freestylers achieve with gopros Superview? Check this free little converter which can even convert a bunch of files at once. Super easy! No settings no fiddeling around with options, just run a script.
1.) download this NIEK SUPERVIEW Script

and extract all 3 *.EXE files into your SYSTEM32 folder (i.E. c:\windows\system32)

If this scares you - it also works to have this *.exe files in the same folder as your videos - they just have to be available for the BAT script...

2.) copy the "Superview all.bat" File to the folder where you have your 4:3 source Videos

3.) run this file and either enter a single videos filename when asked - or easier, just hit ENTER to have all MP4 files from this folder converted automatically into a "superview" subfolder.

Tip: Depending on your OS' paranoia mode (aka security settings) you might need to start the script as admin, or even have to lower "user account control" bar to lowest settings.

I've also compared a few other methods to convert 4:3 video to 16:9 with old GoproStudio, MeshWarp filter on Vegas and then I compared results:
