The ones I am familiar with are made by DJI. They have a couple of heavy lift drones. I suspect the one you would be looking at would be their 8 rotor drone, or a similar one from another company. The camera of choice for drone enthusiasts seems to be the Canon 5D, though now that mirrorless cameras have taken over, it's probably a Sony that is favored now.

Re: Pentax drone photography?
John, Plenty of drones are available that can heft as big a camera as you care to mention! Not cheap though ;-) Cot On 27 May 2021, at 18:22, John wrote: I was wondering more about if there are drones that could carry an actual camera rather than having one built in. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Pentax drone photography?
Correct. In the US if a drone is used for recreational purposes and weighs over 250 grams (.55 lb) it must be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). If a drone is used for commercial purposes it must be registered regardless of weight. The cost for either is 5 USD for 3 years. In addition, commercial operations require you to be a licensed drone pilot so if you take photos or videos with your drone and sell them, you're supposed to be licensed. The FAA takes a broad view on what is considered commercial. It might be something as innocuous as posting drone photos or videos on a blog that gets a little income from sharing ads. Obviously they're not going to be scrubbing through blogs and web sites looking for violations but there are folks who don't like drones who complain and then the FAA will look into it.

Re: Pentax drone photography?
Yeah, I know that. I was wondering more about if there are drones that could carry an actual camera rather than having one built in. It's just idle curiosity. On 5/27/2021 11:47:04, Daniel J.

Yes, you would need something like an X Class drone or an 8 motor cine rig. Expect to pay North of 5 grand, and a steep learning curve.

Pentax drone photography?
Is there a drone that might be able to hoist a Pentax DSLR. I've seen some inspiring drone nature photography lately, but no *Pentax* drone photography, so I'm wondering how you might go about doing it. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
