This was a beta of the X5

thanks can you confirm the bit rate of the beta?

It's a nice improvement but the low bitrate is evident in the water and grass in a number of shots.

Is it possible that you're seeing the effects of re-compression from online video services? I'm not saying that the X5 has no issues due to a relatively low bitrate, but I don't think watching a video on YouTube or Vimeo is really the right way to judge how susceptible any camera is to such issues.

There's no way to know for sure without looking at the unaltered footage straight from the camera. That said, there are plenty of really good 4K videos on Youtube without any significant compression artifacts including from cameras like the Panny GH4 and the Sony RX100-IV.

In the UK the complete gimbal, board and X5 retails at about £1950 which is approximately $3000.
