# Filming

The LR1 payload is primarily designed for photography but can shoot high-quality video with the right settings.

### A7R4 Payload

The A7R4 Payload can record video to its internal SD card (requires UHS-II card for full quality).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Astro Max generally does not produce good video with the A7R4 Payload due to increased vibrations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.freeflysystems.com/ecosystem/workflows/filming.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
