Using the Z₁=Z₀⁵+C variation of the Mandelbrot formula

Only 2^-92 zooms deep, all those mega XXX fractals (see my entries in the "Plain Jane" Mandelbrot contest area) at 900+ zoom levels were driving me nuts with the slowdown on my laptop, so it was time to explore something different. If you look closely at the screen grab, you can see the final squarish minibrot in the center. This is a direct frame grab from the video, no color settings or anything changed, only rendered at 8000x6000 instead of 640x480. Scaled down to 1200 as per contest rules.
