Your overly vivid colors tell me you have very old firmware. Latest FW is available for downloading from my Mobius Support thread here.

Has your neighbour checked in in a mental institution yet?

the quad frame is nothing but pair of 8mm fiberglass tent poles cut to 41cm, found yje poles while walking on beach. This is my 1st non-carbon frame that I happen to fly most (it's unbreakable). 2205c 1400kv, 8043 props, homemade FC.
here is another Mobius footage of the same quad:

AleG: my neighbour is a doctor himself
He mentioned psychiatric help for himself as soon as he saw the thing flying

Hi Tom, I updated to 0.39 before this day's flying. It just seems certain lighting conditions still brings out the super blue sky. I don't mind the level of saturation and contrast otherwise - makes a nice change from the comparably dull 808 footage. For example, the start of part 1 of this video is all uber-blue:

Yes, there are still color modifications needed, I agree. I'm testing a major FW upgrade right now that will give a lot of user control over the image quality, similar to the #16 controls with a few added toggles. But it needs a lot of testing and tweaking before it will be ready for release.

Recent rains around here have resulted in the Corps of Engineers opening the gates at a dam upstream. They are now releasing 50,000 cubic feet per second of water down the river by the park where I normally fly.

I took my modified GWS Slow Stick out with two Mobius cameras mounted - one shooting forward, and one shooting aft -both in 1080p mode- to check out the view out over the river. A Lumix FX78 for a head camera on the fly-by shots @ 1920x1080 as well....

I like the colours. Hope that they dont change too much in the new firmware.

Got my camera yesterday from Webbex. I am really impressed with the image quality of both photo and video. Here are a few shots that I took during my walk back from work:

I like the low level AV in 720p 60 fps mode... FOV is just fine for that with negligible distortion in my view. The new wider AOV lens can also be used to widen the FOV if desired, while keeping the barrel distortion relatively low in 720p 60 fps mode.

I also built a Polaris... perfect plane for shooting AV off water, I think! You didn't want to try a boat landing, I guess! Based on your post title, maybe you did, with undesired results from the air turbulence off the boat. Good to know the Mobius can take a dunking and recover without any serious damage.
