The fish jumping out of the water when the sound hits is priceless.

That will never get old. I was 14 years old when Apollo 11 landed, this is futuristic stuff.

Wow great video shooting!

[@AlanDayley]

Great capture! Thanks.

[@Jonasastrophotos]

Okay....New favorite Flight 5 footage. Damn that was sick!

[@ThomasLeimberger]

Finially!! I camera man that DID NOT zoom in and ruin the shot. Excellent job. Best version I've seen.

[@biosdilt1399]

Yessss!! Let SpaceX and the good tracking people do the closeups, otherwise it's much better to get a wide angle to see how fast it actually goes

[@hachan5440]

Awesome footage.

[@COORS5766]

WOW! GREAT camera work! Best amateur video I've seen so far!

[@recifebra3]

As the booster is coming back, you can see the shock wave from the sonic boom come down through the launch smoke plume and then a couple seconds later it bounces off the ground and goes back up through the plume. Pretty dang cool.

Dude that's gotta be the best looking Starship launch so far. So jealous you got to see that in person

With so many of these videos the person taking the shot has the camera on auto focus, and it keeps unfocusing. In this video I'm guessing it was actually set to manual focus, or it's just a better camera, because this might be the first of dozens of such videos I've seen where the video never goes blurry. And I like that the sonic booms of the hot staging ring was captured.

This was the newer iPhone 16 pro max. I literally got it a week before the launch. Main benefits over iPhone14 Pro Max I previously had was 5x optical zoom, but I honestly think the autofocus is better. It's always autofocus is always on , but you have to tap on the screen what you want it to focus on, to focus on an object. When I zoomed in 5x to get the rocket, I was tapping on the dot of light that was the rocket to focus on every few seconds. It worked amazingly well and thanks for the compliments!

いや最初の球、ほんとにホップしてるんじゃないのか？ 少なくとも人間の目にはそう見える。
