I don't believe that was shot on the new Fuji's but can't omit the content! 😅
 

What do you know about what I know or don't know? C'mon... No rocket science here, literally... LOL ; ) it's just to read the news.
Politically motivated? It's completely nonsense what you're just writing. No, there's no political motivation at all from my part.
I only find all this story an absolute misfortune. Painful to see. That's all.
First off if you haven't noticed yet, I am one of the oldest members here. This is one of my fav places I choose to discuss daily life with other fellows in this Andrew's home. People trade messages on private, there are connections beyond the curtains and so on, you know? This is merely our public window.
On the other hand, the guy wanted to photograph the earth to prove his idea. This has everything about the main scope of this forum, no more no less.
As fair conclusion though, pictures are not only made of gear and talking around for geeks. The way news, marketing, media exposure, innovation are made and are mirror of our time, even the society itself or what it is political motivation realm, once you mention it, make them... Our contemporary counterpart.
It is impossible to dissociate the pictures or how we living them from there. Count on it ; -)

Probably just ignorant or too naive as some other alternatives or excuses, isn't it? ; )
No, read again my post... "I mean US, but could be anywhere else." I think I left it clear, no? Of course, there are silly people everywhere WTH.
Evel Knievel never scheduled a stupid agenda to justify his entertainment business AFAIK. Horses for courses.
I think and do defend authorities should play a role on certain cases. Insanity can be dangerous as much as flying drones or rockets for that matter. No idea how people stare to attend such sad show. First question to come to my mind: are we talking about a licensed or allowed activity to begin with? To launch rockets to the space like we all live in somewhere more than 100 years ago? Last time I checked we are in 2020... ; -)
Shame on everyone who let this happen.

Insanity is a severe mental disorder and State should be responsible for, in order to provide efficient assistance.
Your freedom of thinking is harmless until the day it can hurt.
I don't like to use safety belt in my car, as well I find too boring any rules, those about drones included.
But, sense of community and rationality -- the reason, means to respect them. This comprehends to respect the others.
Your freedom CANNOT prevail over the freedom of other people or the rights and civilized principles such as caring of patients with mental problems, even if apparently healthy because Psychiatry is a truly complex medical specialty. Let alone the whole invisible world behind.
Respect common sense is an obligation of yours to see your right of free thinking to be respected as well.
We're not living in the Germany of 30s. This applies for both ends. Got it?
E : -)
 
PS:
Not only the State but also the sponsors are responsible for this tragedy. They created such a circus in this crazy world of profit where we all live in. A shame, a crime without punishment too. I do care about the world around me. It invariably concerns me. Or I just am an(other) accomplice.

And to those still wondering how useful these little devices can be, here's some idea(s):
 

I should receive my One R this week, the 360 module does not seems any better than the One X that I have, but the waterproof and the screen is a good upgrade for me as the venturecase is a piece of c.... so I will sell the One X as I used a lot in the snow and water.
The 360 reframe quality is not yet ready for prime time but is so good to reframe in post that for certain type of action is unbeatable.
The 1 inch module seems a good step up from the hero 8 and similar. One cool thing is that you can enable or disable the stabilization and the fov in post..... the hero 8 is already processed so if you set the wrong one or you don't know if is better with what level of stabilization you are toasted…. I was shooting last week some rally cars with some hero 8s and when I wanted the hypersmooth on I had it off and vice versa…. 
 

Here's a curious comparative sample:

My partner's last feature to be currently distributed in NZ with the support of NZ Film Commission, Australia, U.S., Brazil, Europe, among more than a dozen of territories worldwide, shot on Blackmagic Production 4K camera recommended by me BTW @CaptainHook @John Brawley with more than 20TB cDNG native footage.
Just my two cents... The feature is much more interesting than the trailer. Superb cinematography and grading BTW, without mention directing work and original soundtrack by one-man-show Bernie Rao:
 
 
 

Seems the 4k of the fp is not perfect, but I knew that, still its nice to see some test.

That's how I shoot all the time, grabbing a quick shot then running to catch up.  Or getting shots of the family while they're doing their thing.  For me the strengths of the GH5 really help with that.  IBIS for walking while shooting (trying to simultaneously do the ninja walk and also not walk into a pole or anything) or for standing and grabbing a faux tripod shot.  The 10-bit for being able to significantly push the image due to no control of lighting and little to no time to work the scene.  Etc...    My other approach is just to get volume, as not only does it mean you get lucky more often, but the practice increases your hit rate too.
Here's some random GH5 shots from filming at the speed of life...

Beyond the shitty YT encoding, obviously, despite that, I don't think this will beat the QooCam 8K camera 10-bit quality to be pretty sincere here:
