Is this possible with XT2? (Video related)

[N4865G]

Just came across this phenomenal night flight video shot with Sony A7.

I tried to mimic this with my X-T2 coupled with 18-55 kit lens and to get reasonable exposure I had to bump my ISO up to ridiculous 12800, at which point the footage became unusable.

Is this kind of quality achievable with X-T2? If so, what sort of lens would I need to add to it?

I assumed 18-55 would yield the best result as it comes with OIS, but the results disappointed me.

Thanks for your comments,

That's a damn good question. I wonder what the answers will be, that will be interesting! You could also ask Tomash at Fujilove, I am sure he would give an interesting reply.

I would suggest a Fujinon XF16mm F1.4 R WR or Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R.   Something on the wider end, and which can let in a lot of light.   I have the kit lens, but have not tried low light video, but at F2.8-4.0 I would guess it is not the best choice.

The problem about the, otherwise fantastic, XF16mm is lack of IS. I am afraid employing the Gimbal would be completely impractical in the cockpit environment, so the only option left would be de-shaking in the post processing.

Don't know if that would be feasible.
