Thanks guys.
Yes, I have live view of what the camera see's, leachy. I often fly far out and I can't even see the drone, then I fly only according to the screen.
Unfortunately, no zoom.

seems as though you have quite a fancy machine..
does it return to you automatically if it reaches the edge of its range
or reach the end of its power storage ????

Brilliant, Sprocks!
But I can just imagine it won't work in Kruger...imagine 50 drones at a lion sighting...
Do the animals notice the drone much?

Thanks, Flutters. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but worth every cent!

They do notice it, specialy if you come in close. But, they get used to it very quickly and then they are chilled.
