Is there enough connection with the device to see the picture you're
taking in real time?

Sort of, maybe.:

PeterN:
Does that price include the camera?

"click" button not working on your mouse? BugBear

Something else isn't "clicking" at Peter's end

Yes my ability to understand your obsession with venom, and obvious
willingness to make such constructive comments.

Peter thinks "venom" is usually found in posts ending in a smiley. :-D

Smileys don't negate venom in the rest of the article.


Is that like the smile on the face of the tiger.

More like a Cobra. You never know when it is going to strike again.

Peter feels like the prey of the savannah in here. scurrying around trying
to hide from the big bad tiger Sandman who eats him alive with facts,
details, quotes and reality.

Reality? Are you sure?

Be afraid, be very afraid little bunny.

Eesh! What quality.



Eesh!- It's a concept.

Here's one on a clear day:

It's fine. And you do realize that the curve is the fisheye effect...and not the curve of the Earth?


I wish I could find a filter to correct for that. I tried the camera
distortion filter in Photoshop Elements but it affects the entire
photo.

In PS CS6 & CC there is the "Adaptive Wide Angle" filter that can
provide correction for Fish-eye and ultra-WA lenses as well as some
manual correction . All of that goes beyond what could previously be
achieved with the "Lens Correction" filter.

Thanks. That looks complicated, but actually the "earth curve" effect
isn't so bad.

I tried to stitch some together but that didn't work out very well
either. The shots were set up taking one photo every 1/2 second while
the copter was hovering and rotating around getting a 360 degree view.
I thought it would be a neat effect to have a circular photo but I got
impatient with the photostitch panorama.

Well, I'm glad you like cheetahs, they are all you say, but when they
chill out and lie back they purr so strongly the vibrations can be felt
right through your body if you care to stroke a willing subject.

or in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheetah

Unfortunately they are pretty "weak" animals that expend huge amounts of
energy to catch their prey (meaning they can't "miss" often or they
literally deplete themselves). After a kill they are unable to protect
their kill and can't carry large kills up into a tree. So all sorts of
other animals from lions down to hyenas and vultures are quite adept at
stealing their kills (and killing cheetah cubs). They've declined in
numbers greatly due to loss of habitat which forces them to compete in
areas where they're less able to defend themselves - which is most
typically by evasion.

Yup! They are seriously endangered. That is one of the reasons the few
captive breeding programs are their only hope for survival. This one in
South Africa is one of the most successful.
