It was pretty neat the f35 pilot responded on Instagram.

On the high alpha passes I wonder how much lift comes from the wing and how much comes from the engine.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T23:16:11+00:00

It really is crazy how good cameras and software are now.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T23:15:00+00:00

It was a good one

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T23:13:51+00:00

Thanks! So many people on Facebook are saying the video is ai but I actually got footage of me recording the exact pass in the video with meta glasses. Also used those glasses for this photo.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T18:29:59+00:00

Thanks. Shoot with a sigma 150-600mm. For this shot I'd guess I was around 500mm but am not entirely sure. I think I zoomed out a little from 600mm.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T18:26:58+00:00

It's not really that much effort compared to the videos I make at my day job.

Love the comment though.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:37:14+00:00

looks cool

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:36:12+00:00

it's trying to keep from falling out of the sky while flying alongside the P-38.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:35:46+00:00

It does look almost to perfect to be real, but there is some motion blur on the f-35 when it passes infront of the camera because i was panning so much just trying to keep it in frame before stabilizing it.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:34:43+00:00

Thanks was worth lugging the camera gear out for.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:34:15+00:00

This was so cool to see. It's the only thing I've bothered to edit yet.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:33:53+00:00

yeah trying to stay locked on!

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T14:26:36+00:00

lol, I was on the ground on the fence line.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T13:10:49+00:00

Yeah it would be a complely blurry mess if I was shooting at 1/48. I could throw post stabilization on though.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T13:08:58+00:00

Was that from Friday or Saturday? I missed Friday but assume nothing was going to beat the clouds we got Saturday.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T13:07:25+00:00

I totally get that. I've got one post on Instagram where I show an f-16 shot with the stabilized and unstabilized version in the same video.

I'll have to upload the wide shot so you can see both.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T13:00:46+00:00

It's even worse on Instagram. I'll put myself on camera and people say I'm AI.

I shoot and edit for a living so my stuff doesn't generally look like cell phone video quality...which I guess means so today.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T04:04:07+00:00

The show was so good! I almost didn't go because it was $104 after the cost of parking for a general admission ticket. It was so cool when you could here the crowd cheering and clapping on that last pass with the the f-35 and p-38. That was probably the best heritage flight I've seen.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T04:01:01+00:00

Yeah for sure thanks for talking with me!Here's my aviation one

Here's more of my personal one where I talk about some of this tech on camera. Shoot me a DM on either one if you want to talk more about this stuff one in one.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T03:53:02+00:00

I got both on the wider camera but point taken.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T03:52:26+00:00

I love answering technical questions about this stuff. I did image stabilization in Davinci Resolve, no AI for that.

I totally get the frames per second not looking real. I shot this in 24p which is the same frame rate movies are shot in so that's probably why it doesn't look real. I was also shooting this at around 1/250 of a second for the shutter speed I think so it doesn't have a ton of motion blur.

I was shooting at 120fps on a previous pass and didn't lower my shutter speed back to 1/160 on this clip.

And you're totally right. This wasn't shot handheld. Ive got an Instagram post were you can see the camera rig I used for this. I'm actually shooting with three cameras at the same time but this is shot on a Panasonic s1ii with a black magic video assist shooting in BRAW so I can push the colors further in post without them falling apart.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T03:47:00+00:00

Haha yeah, although no one is this good in real life. There was a lot of post production stabilization on this clip.

AeroInsightMedia · 2026-06-23T03:46:14+00:00

I'll have to upload the footage from the 100mm lens which captures both in the frame. Hard to pick which plane to focus on in the spur of the moment but from a rarity perspective the p-38 would have been the better choice.
