I went to the park again

I originally recorded a lot of audio with the RODE wireless go 2 mic but for some reason... the audio length does not match the video file length... so it was hard to sync them/not in sync

I just loop a sound byte here where I am not talking

I also cut the video down into like a third

I also lost footage which was sad, had some nice long range footage but I think I shut the ffmpeg process down before it was finished which I unfortunately had already deleted the original h264 file... that was not great, I'm pretty bummed... trying to salvage this non-playing mp4 file I have

Otherwise... I was listening to a podcast and they mentioned how 1080P is 2MP and that clicked to me... this lens has a 3MP resolution... you can tell it's not as good as the blue ring lens (16mm) but it should be passable... with automatic focus (eg. parafocal) this could work for a camcorder design

I will also note with these barrel wrappers I do not have a way to tell the f-stop so I'm just guessing and I'm manually focusing through the tiny preview vs. focusing it with zoom and then recording on a tripod... so the footage can be much better
