Drone photos

With temps around 50, I had a chance to wash the car yesterday. Also took a few photos from the Autel X-Star drone with the car parked at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium. Camera on the drone shoots video at 4K and photos at 12MP.

The Autel X-Star Premium is the best deal on the market. I bought it for $630 on Black Friday. Competitors with same capability are at $1000+.

If you do, I suggest that you check the rules and regulations where you live before you get one. My wife got me one for my birthday and them we found out that where we live puts many restrictions on where you can legally fly them. It really became a hassle.

FAA rules aren't bad, but the local rules can be killers.

Super cool, OP.

What's the learning curve with that unit, or were you already a drone user?
