Wonderful video clip! This is what most people look for in easy/simple video clips that are not hard work.
Thanks Charles! I have a very short attention span when it comes to editing, and the little Z makes it easy on me.
I have been using my ipad pro 11" to do my personal photo editing, and used adobe premiere rush I think it's called which is a free program. What I really like is that I can transfer videos and RAWs from the Z7 to the ipad pro directly via the USB-C cord that came with the ipad (ie no need for a card reader). Still need to get that new 2nd gen pencil, but I might be switching up my lighting system so holding some cash in reserve..
Here is my first video clip with Z7. On my D7100, D810, D850, I took a total of may be 10 clips at most and never on my Sony. Taking video with Z7 is a lot of fun but I really still have no clue pretty much.
Edited with Window Moviemaker. I shot in 1080/60p with 8-15mm FE.
WB was mostly AWB0 and few clips was preset WB that I calibrated underwater with my white fins.
I think I need a much bigger light source

DxO just released DxO Photolabs 2.2 with Z6/Z7 support and a truckload of lenses. Downloaded it and so far it's looking good to me.
It's still 30% off.
In case anyone is curious, I just picked up a Nikon 70-200 f4G ED VR and it works very well with the Z7. Autofocus is as fast if not a tiny bit faster on the Z7 compared to my D850. At only 850 grams, it's lighter than the 24-70 f2.8G and f2.8ED VR lenses, and nearly half the weight of my 70-200 f2.8E (which I'm still keeping).
For those looking for a 70-200 that's tack sharp wide open that works great on the Z, the nikon is a great option.
Here are a couple images taken with the Z7 and the 24-70mm f/4 S lens. The first image was taken a couple weeks ago, and the second image was taken this evening. Both were taken hand held.

Love the video! There is another facet with videos that stills cannot capture

Thanks Charles, now I can't wait to get back into water again but as of right now, no plan for diving until next March
May be I will have to try to squeeze something in the second part of the year
I've got three trips under the belt with the Z7 so far. It's made my life quite a bit easier while retaining the D850-class output I've gotten used to.
The 24-70 is clearly a winner all-around. The 50 is optically great, but I've really got my eye on the 85S. I keep a Milvus 85 in the bag when weight allows, but it's quite a handful on this body. The Voigtlander 180APO rounds out the tele end for me. Where it doesn't make my life easier is in swapping around a single adapter with two adapted lenses. I've picked up a dumb adapter for the 180APO since it doesn't carry electronics anyway, so I won't be doing any more swapping around.
The speeds I can handhold puts me at odds with my love of tripods. I don't shoot too much past a second, and I can get pretty close with the native lenses on burst.
A quirk that has surfaced for me is that the automatic display switch is occasionally uncooperative. The sensor switches to EVF, and it requires a rotational flick to get it to switch correctly. For the first time over roughly fifty bodies, the battery door retaining peg snapped off. I keep it gaff taped and don't place the body down, and I'm just thankful I was in a place where superglue was easily obtainable. Parts of the rubber grip are already coming off, and I think the memory card door is a big target alongside being an enlarged head to accidentally pop open.
