Edge of town ... into the country ... test: is new QooCam 3 Ultra 8K crystal clear ... (reframe)

How does the QooCam 8K (re-framed) look AFTER KZbin upload & transcode? It looks GREAT in the original render on my system BUT will KZbin ruin it via their transcoding?
Ultra Settings: 8K, 30p, 8 bit color, ISO 100 fixed, shutter 2500 fixed, static mount.
I am testing (in a single video) how the QooCam Ultra handles changing conditions (e.g. speed 0-55mph, Bright Sun, cloudy, tree canopy).
Source video = Kandao QooCam 3 Ultra, recorded in 8K 30p, rendered from QooCam Studio as a 360.
Further processed in Davinci Resolve; crop off 75%, sharpen, adjust color ... looks GREAT on my BIG Screen, so should look great on anything smaller UNLESS KZbin transcodes the quality out of it.
The full 360 version will be uploaded and linked (soon).

I would love to see hir-res (360 and reframed) touring videos of sights and vistas from another hemisphere.

Nice. How do you reframe. Do you use the phone app or is there a way to do it with an desktop ediiting software. thanks

I cheat and use the Equirectangular format in Davinci Resolve and simply use "crop to fit", then a little left/right/up/down as needed. Been doing it that way for years (with 5k-6k cams). Now that there is decent 8K 🌐360° (via QooCam Ultra and Insta360 X4), the cropping of 8k frame into a 4k frame does a better job of hiding the "bending lines" While still retaining a sharp image. I have a hunch (w 8K cams) this will become a popular method as it eliminates edge distortion/fuzzy from reframing (i.e. 95+% to 100% of the frame in my method is at the correct zoom/focus/etc.; you may see just a bit distortion at the very top with very close objects like tree tops).

Hello! Thanks for the video! Planning to get this camera for my motorcycle travels. Question: how much sdcard space does 1minute of 8k 30 take? Thank you!

[@_Oregon_Sunday_Drives_360]

The Kandao QooCam3 Ultra 8K uses about 1gb/minute. The camera includes built in 100gb (so safely 80 minutes in 8K). Plus it can hold up to 1tb MicroSD. I mostly use the MicroSD (512GB). I have more to post including 🌐360° in 8K and 5.7k and 4K just to compare.
