I am considering the new Tamron 30-150 F2/2.8 lens have seen such good reviews of it and would be a nice lens to have would replace my 24-240 Lens which I dropped a while back and it isnt working as well as it should be. thats cool you get some real estate work with the drone
which drone did you go for?
This is my third Drone, started with an original Mavic to test the waters, then sold that and upgraded to Mavic 2 Pro a year later, then upgraded to the Mavic 3 now. It's all about the camera for me, and this zoom to go along with the Hasselblad camera on-board is just what I wanted starting out... That 24-240 sounds nice all-purpose lens. btw, not sure if you use them but I just love the 1.4 and 2x Teleconverters for the Sony. The 2x loses stops of light, but otherwise I have noticed any clarity difference (just need a tripod or rest to hold steady at those magnifications, lol). Not sure how well they'd work with the non-Sony lenses though.
I have read great reviews of the Mavic 3, and the cost of it is just a little more than the Tamron lens I am thinking of getting so I guess when I have saved up enough it will be final decision time, if I was ever to get one the onboard camera would be a key factor
and I dont have either teleconverter yet, I have read they sometimes have issues with non sony lenses and even then also works best only with certain Sony Lenses so I havent pulled the trigger on getting one yet
the 20-240 Lens I loved and used it a lot when walking around NYC, if I hadnt dropped it and damaged it I wouldnt be thinking of the tamron 30-150, but the 24-240 has some intermittent issues where sometimes it gets a clear image and focus where i want it other times very soft images and hence why I am thinking of replacing it
Yes, it had some minor glitches initially, but fixed with software update. It has been fantastic. It is a beast in the wind, easily flyable in 20-30mph with gusts. Of course it has the best camera. I would definitely recommend pairing it with the RC Pro controller. I had similar controller for my Mavic2 Pro and it makes a world of difference for either of them in comfort, stability, flight time, etc. I don't know I'd spring for the cine version, but the fly more package with RCPro seems the sweet spot.
Thanks for the info I will for sure keep that in mind if or when I decide to get one
Have a great day
