Looks great, first the drone, then the lens! ;)

Yeah, Hallmark007 showed a video recently and it looked superb - I may have to invest in one.

I may get one and give it a try though the slight fish eye would concern me

Are you thinking of getting one AJ?

I was but after watching this vid the curves in the horizon and the work involved to straighten them out seems a bit much for what I do. So probably not now.

The only downside is to take pictures you need to take it off again.

Like polarisers with panos. I think the flight will need a higher degree of forward planning.

Very much so....  And my flights always seem to be a bit rushed as the lady gets agitated.

I can totally relate to that mate - especially when our three-year old son comes along for the ride

Well the two places I checked out earlier was a bit of a waste, although one needs further research and a bit more hiking than expected.

Worth checking it out a bit more mate - you like your hikes anyway

This is true,  but my spotter isn't so keep on long distances.

I must admit, I have quite enjoyed the summer downtime but I am starting to get the itch to get back into it. Though the 'new normal' puts me off but I'm too young to throw the towel in.

Same here.     But I think I'll wait until the new year now.

Why would you?

Yeah, ironically if I don't return until April I will get a significant tax rebate from the start of the fiscal year or be tax exempt for a bit if I return earlier - it will depend on which line of employment I decide to pursue.

Something different to try out

I have not made up my mind yet with a drone, since you can move around freely (usually) so you don't need the extra field of view.
It is more about the 'look' of the footage I guess.

Funny that I just got a check from HMRC for a few grand,  I was most happy.

It is nice getting your taxes back.

Yeah over the years I’ve had some terrible bills.  It wasn’t long a go I had one for over £75k due to IR35 so to get a few grand back that will cover iPhone 12 max for the whole family is a welcome change.

Jeez - now thats a bill I could do without! The iPhone 12 Max does look incredibly tempting. 5G...

Yeah. I felt the same way. Oddly I paid it with a debit card and the bank never flagged the payment but I can spend £1.39 on eBay and they stop the card.

Me neither.
I have my lenses for my DSLR, so I know what I can expect when I put one on.
But this is different.

Fraud prevention mate - the card merchants rating. I bought a Rolex on my debit card with no problems then I got some sweets at a Co-op and had to call my bank! Nuts.

It will take some getting use to and quite a bit of post editing to smooth it off - which is why I probably won't

Me neither actually.
I feel a drone is not the best suited camera for this 'look'.
But maybe that is just my lack of imagination.
