What we tested
Mike and I tested the 28mm, 70mm, and 168mm views, including panning, tracking, and circling movements. The video includes an extended screen recording so you can see the process and our commentary.
The long lens changes the experience
The telephoto view impressed me, but it did not offer the same automated circling behavior in our test as the wider cameras. We also tried a manual circle with the 168mm view. These are observations from the flight and software shown, not a substitute for checking your current flight settings.
Footage and examples
The original description includes downloadable sample footage. Compare the files and the full flight recording to judge image quality and the kinds of movement you want to capture.
