Did like the 50 min operating time.

Yep... not much range, but 50 min flight time. From the linked article:
“Vesper has been designed to maximize airtime and minimize downtime. It can fly for 50 minutes on a single battery with speeds up to 45 mph (72 kph), with a total flight range of 25 miles (45 km) – although the actual operational distance from the controller is three miles (maximum).”

Thomas B did you see any reference to Software for autonomous flight.

Naw... didn’t read the whole thing.... it’s a bit ugly in the pics there.

But I did like the changing of the flight platform for different tasks. Certainly no points for beauty.

Didn’t care for the price but liked the noise level and 18x zoom.

Gear to fly your Mavic in the Rain and Land on the water , the Vesper cant do that.

I like how the case doubles as a launching pad.

For me I've had sticker shock the last couple of days seeing what's available and the price, I guess I'm more of a chevy guy. What a drone though, Wow!
