West over the Panhandle last night
Sony Exmor camera, no filter, EV -1, Mavic Pro drone at 240ft.
@Stonekettle hey Jim, how much did your drone cost you? I'm really tempted to get one but have no idea how much a decent one should cost.
@RattusInsanus It depends a great deal on what you want to do with it.
I use mine for photography. I wanted long flight duration, ease and flexibility of control, advanced flight software capability, and most importantly a high quality camera (Min 4K with RAW format). And I wanted something that could fit in a backpack or smaller.
That's not cheap. But compared to, oh say, any of my Nikons, well.
I went with the Mavic Pro. I've got about $2000 into it.
@RattusInsanus You can get the basic Mavic Pro drone with one or two batteries for about $900.
I wanted more batteries and rapid charging that would charge at least 3 batteries at the same time in ~30 minutes, plus charge the RC. And I use a dedicated Android high quality tablet for the video control.
So, like I said, little pricey.
Avoid the Karma. Good cameras, shitty drone.
@Stonekettle thanks a lot for that info! I'll check into the Mavic Pro!
