It would be fine with a telephoto lens, camera is very good at adjusting quickly to different lighting, I use mine for sports and it works well

Depends on elevation of his apartment and altitude of aircraft in the sky. Will probably need a tripod for steady viewing due to the excellent quality of magnification. Zoom feature is very handy. Overall, I have been very pleased with the Nikon 8252 ACULON A211.

This will capture it from afar, but it may be very blurry. This lens isn't particularly good for any fast moving objects. Hope this helps.

Hello, good camera if you have a large telescope. on small optics you have a lot of noise from the CMOS. H.S.

Yes, absolutely. It is capable of many angles. The camera looks great and would be hard to recognize as fake.

Pzo420 camera from security cam 2000. 12 volt and making a simple jumper cable with a servo connector (also available on securitycam2000's site) just select us warehouse then fpv area. Fast shipping and reliable product. As far as display it doesn't get cheaper than the quanum goggles from hobby king. In my opinion they are garbage but people use them. But I think your putting the cart in front of the horse. I'd ask what you really want to do. Full fpv? Proximity? Aerial photography? All of these things will change the interface you'll use. Different lenses for example. An osd if you plan on getting real time flight data. Decide these things. Make a purchase plan/ budget and go. And don't skimp on things . would it be wise to total a 800$ quad because you skimped and bought an unreliable display? Hit fpvlab or fpvhub. I think you'll end up just throwing money at the problem otherwise. Good luck. And just an FYI I'd recommended a tougher and cheaper to repair airframe if you are just learning fpv.

This would be pretty clunky to use on a plane, mainly because it takes a bit to calibrate to the correct settings and I think it would be frustrating to constantly be collapsing it and setting it up again.

Well honestly i have not tried this telescope for land spotting;however, this telescope is an excellent bigenner telescope if you are into astronomy. As for land spotting i would suggest getting a binocular.

I suppose it could, but its not going to be the most effective because of its size and likely the camera weight on top of it. If it were me, I'd look for a more conventional method such as a smaller camera that's designed for such an application.

The short answer is "Technically, yes." However, don't expect to see much more than tiny, shadowy figures at night. No economical or modestly priced camera is going to be able to give you wide angle at 150 feet with crisp detailed images. That's simply the trade-off for a wide-angle lens. During the daytime, you should get a decent picture, but still have trouble identifying persons that you don't already know.

Absolutely. The optics is superb, its razor sharp and no chromatic abberation is visible. But keep in mind, it's a 8x power scope, so the angular resolution is of a 8x power scope too. You will can identify any bird with it, but no insects ;)

Yes, it is often used for viewing First Person View (FPV) from remote control aircraft. You would need to buy a separate video transmitter, receiver, and display device.

It's a mediocre 720p camera. But for the price it's certainly adequate. It cannot be aimed independent of the drone. Basically it always faces forward at a slightly declined angle from level.

It will be perfect for that. Unlike other cameras where you cannot use it for surveillance because a human will see the read light when it takes a picture, this one does not show the red light,... yet takes good pix at night. So that is why I bought the cameras...because it is good for surveillance.

Id say yes. I've used it to spot turkey at 500 plus yards with no problem. Even got a close up on an Eagle flying at cloud level. Hope this helps, and enjoy.

Hello D. DiMichele,Thanks for your post. I agree that the viewfinder is very helpful even with a LCD screen. The extra money is worth it.

For my purposes, yes. My camera needs are something small and durable, and I am satisfied with a camera that takes pictures that arent' fuzzy or grainy but will give me a good image to kindle memories. This camera has taken great pics in all weather and lighting situations. Night pics you must stabilize it, of course, and the images are plenty detailed and clear to identify scenery/persons.
