What's the difference between drone long-distance shooting and telephoto long-distance shooting?

There are two different photography techniques: long-distance drone shooting and long-distance telephoto shooting.

Long-distance shooting of unmanned aerial vehicles refers to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with cameras to shoot distant scenery by sailing in the air. This way can provide a higher perspective and a broad field of vision, and can capture a wider range of scenery. Uavs usually have a stable flight control system, which can obtain stable, clear and realistic images.

A telephoto lens refers to shooting with a long focal length lens (such as a telescope or telephoto lens). This way can enlarge the distant scenery and highlight the main body, thus capturing clearer and more vivid images. Because the lens with long focal length is used, you should pay attention to the possibility of shaking when holding it, so it is best to use a tripod or other stable equipment to ensure the photo quality.

To sum up, drones can provide a wider and higher field of vision in the distance, while telephoto lenses can enlarge the subject and highlight the details in the distance. Which way to choose depends on the shooting effect and scene requirements you want to express.
