To be honest the quality of the image from that tiny camera was very very impressive. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At nearly £1600 it will need to earn a lot of dosh to pay for itself. Plus your course and insurance costs as well. I assume you have to pay for a yearly licence too?

It would be interesting to be taking images from the ground when the drone is among the Starlings. Just see the drone in the centre of the image with a clear area all around then the Starling all milling around the clear area. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
