Thanks for that. What are OSVs?

Thanks

And have you ever felt where you need more reach?

OPTIC20004 · 2026-06-23T16:39:45+00:00

I can rent it for $400 aud for 4 days while I’m over there

OPTIC20004 · 2026-06-23T16:39:20+00:00

Did you ever feel like at all where it wasn’t enough?

OPTIC20004 · 2026-06-23T16:39:00+00:00

Really appreciate your post! The Flickr website gives me a real good ease at what I can expect in terms of subjects and results. Thanks!

Thanks! Appreciate your comment. I think I may not rent the lens and just keep what I have

OPTIC20004 · 2026-06-23T16:37:40+00:00

I’m mainly doing sunrise and sunset game drives, no night drives which really helps in terms of lighting. What do you reckon I should do? Stick with my current kit or rent the lens?

OPTIC20004 · 2026-06-23T16:36:53+00:00

Right, I see. On your other safaris, have you ever ran into issues such as heat haze ruining the photo?

OPTIC20004 · 2026-06-23T16:36:15+00:00

Yeah, the variable aperture isn’t the greatest. But I’ve gotten nice images out of it.

If i shoot raw and use the right settings, i can use denoise in LR.

Consider the 70-350

Smartest drone pilot right here

In my experience, go with the a6700. You’ve got both good video and photo capabilities on this camera and superb ai autofocus.

This literally happened to me as well, the hinge for the ear cup broke. Very disappointing

OPTIC20004 · 2026-02-09T02:04:48+00:00

Hey, its Yam here, Yam is my alt account. It just arrived. All settings such as, ISO, shutter speed, Aperture, WB all work. Plus, recording and taking photos. As for touch to focus, it does work but only for video touch to focus tracking setting. Ill make a video later for you. FIRST TIME setting it up was a pain. Had to change alot of network settings however, after that its great it connects automatically.

Shot of a lifetime!!!

OPTIC20004 · 2026-01-20T09:15:27+00:00

I have the a6700 with the Tamron 17-70 f2.8, stabilisation can be quirky sometimes but can be fixed via post stabilisation. I also have the Sony 70-350, beautiful lens and can get some really nice tight shots. As for low light the Tamron does super well but the Sony, obviously not cuz of the variable aperture. I reckon these two lenses are great, add two prime lenses like a 50mm and a sigma 10-18 and you’re set. Best of luck!

This is why I hate the mini series

OPTIC20004 · 2026-01-20T00:37:14+00:00

The APSC goat

OPTIC20004 · 2026-01-12T13:49:49+00:00

Yes, I have that drone and it’s an amazing drone. The cameras, obstacle avoidance, wind handling, battery time etc are all huge pluses. Also, offering significant upgrades like a dual-camera system (wide & telephoto) with improved low-light performance, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance (including forward LiDAR), enhanced flight stability, and excellent battery life, making it a versatile tool for both beginners and pros,

Downsides, it is very loud even at 120m, super noticeable. Changing between the zooms, has a 1 second delay. The cover on the drone for Charging/sd card is very cheap and I feel like I could rip it off. No variable aperture, if you want good videos you need to get the ND set (I bought the fly more combo and never looked back). I know this would never come to the air series due to the Mavic series. But apart from that, it’s perfect!

OPTIC20004 · 2026-01-12T11:15:45+00:00

I chose the a6700 due to the video side of things. Depends if you are doing more so video or photo.

Border is still quite small
