Please watch at 1440p even if on a 1080p monitor. All detail is lost otherwise.
First flights on Byte Frost firmware .23 with camera and GS at 60fps.
Performance is ok, but not great.
VTX at 450mW setting. Two AXII 2 omni antennas and two Triple Feed Patches on the ground station (using the Transformer box, so I turn to face the aircraft as well).
Here's analog comparison of the same flight route.

And here's what it looks like it uploaded direclty at 720p

which is unfortunately how most people are doing it.
Youtube only gives about 3Mbit/s peak bitrate to 720 vids,
while 1080p gets around 6Mbit/s and 1440p gets close to 20Mbit/s peak, and VP9 (H.265) codec so it's about twice as efficient, and has more than enough bitrate to cover the original.
The DVR records at about 16Mbit/s.
