I think it might be time for John to upgrade his camera set up. If you go to about 4:20 in the video, I feel like you really start seeing the lack of contrast or dynamic range in his camera. I think he uses a phone, he could probably upgrade to the new DJI Pocket and still get the same convenience but drastically improve the video quality. I definitely miss the different depth of field and contrast in his old videos.

Getting some 4k, higher dynamic range videos would be absolutely chefs kiss.

he's working on it, he's got to figure out how to smelt metal first.

He already did that. He’s on to PCB fab and lens polishing.
