Some K-70 Video

I set up my KP with the PLM, a Swivi eyepiece, and a camera-powered external Rode mic with deadcat to shoot some footage at the local airshow. However, at the last minute I used the K-70 instead so that I could use the KP for stills. I found that video takes up all available time, leaving essentially none for photos- not sure what I was thinking
Anyway, I can't say I'd recommend it. I knew it would be hard, with no SR and manual focusing and the wonky DSLR video setup in general, but it seems somewhat beyond my capabilities. However, I did get several OK clips, and the sound is awesome!

T-6 Texans? Love rotary engines especially the wasp. Got to visit the Pratt & Whitney hangar museum last year, where several wasp variants are on display.
Haven't done significant video on my K70 yet, but had the best luck with superzooms. Had an olympus c770-uz that took great video. I do like the K70 for the grip and monitor for video. Can shoot from high or low, 90 deg, selfie. KP monitor is limited. Will be playing with K70 time lapse.

But the KP screen is faster to deploy and much more robust.
