[Leica] Drones

[hlritter at twc.com]

I don’t have a lot of experience, but I have a DJI Mavic Air, and it’s an elegant little machine, with 4K video an 12Mpx still images. It folds to fit in a large pocket or in a purse, backpack, etc. My son, a real-estate photographer, has the semi-professional (and more expensive) DJI Phantom and is ready to trade it in on a Mavic Air because of the compactness and portability of the Air. He finds the video and still quality excellent in comparison.

The Mavic Air controller, and I suspect this is true of many other models and brands, will hold a smartphone for video and control display. 

They’re a ton of fun just to fly around and see the world on your video screen, quite aside from their utility as a camera that can be put into otherwise inaccessible locations.

PESO:

Does anybody here have a drone?  I know nothing about them but I like a lot
of the drone photos I've seen.  Tom said he would get me one for my
birthday if I let him know what kind.
