Have looked at a few ads for a drone and keep finding they need a portable telephone to work.
Am new to the idea of them but some aerial opportunities for still images are all I am interested in. A controller that shows the camera view without having to get portable telephone is what I need. All my digital now is RAW format and would prefer that for a drone. Final result will be prints.
Rural area - mainly farms and open land so nothing to interfere with the flying other than wind and weather. Would really love to be able to photograph some during blizzards but reality tells me it won't work. A blizzard is 35mph and higher winds, blowing and drifting snow for a minimum of 3 hours. I'll stick with ground based cameras for those. But lighter winds and snow or rain would be nice or dust blowing across dry ponds and sloughs - 5-15 mph or so, maybe?
Past experience with Aerial work is all commercial from piloted planes and helicopters - someone else flying and my using Hasselblad and 35mm still cameras. Even a few with older Military 9 inch film cameras. Now I don't fly any longer so the drones may be a way to work personal views without air sickness.
Recommendations?
