No time for a lengthy test today, but in 5 spare minutes after lunch I was able to get this nice shot of the village church where we were passing through. A convenient field of stubble on the edge of the village from which to launch the drone and zoom in on the church. Linear distance 180m, drone height 40m.

Lovely capture

Thanks AJ. A pretty village where the railway used to pass through, long ago. They've retained the railbed and turned it into a country walk stretching for miles, or you can hire a pedal car for 4 people to ride the rails.

Nice shot!

One of the nicest walks around here - about 20 minutes' drive from home.

We like it   What's great about these small villages is, despite the restrictions on overflying, with this new ZOOM I can stay on the outskirts of the No-Fly areas and still get acceptable images of the interesting stuff within.

That is the number 1 selling point of the Zoom - to get closer without getting closer!

Exactly what tipped me over from the Hasselblad to the Zoom

And it's great to see that the Zoom has price dropped even further now from £1,099 to £949

I bought mine in Euros here in France a couple of weeks ago. Got a discount AND credit points buying direct from DJI. Less than ten days from order to delivery.  I'm a happy bunny

You are welcome.  It appears worth it, in my opinion.

Oh I'm convinced of it. Lots more evaluation flights to be done yet, but they will only serve to re-enforce my opinion I reckon.

I'm already convinced!  I'm just working on convincing my wife it is worth it!
