Oh Contrare, you can het some really good footage at quite the distance with 4K.
Yeah that's the dirty little secret. Even at 300 feet up you can zoom in pretty tight.
By far the majority of the DJI drones in the $1k to $1.5K (Phantom 3 and 4, and Mavic series) all shoot video in 4K but NONE of them can "zoom in" as you describe. They all have a fixed lens. Granted the resolution is great with 4K but things appear just as far away as with 2.7K or 1080p. If you can afford an Inspire 1 or 2 with the additional optional zoom lens then you're looking at something above $4,000 so VERY few people who fly recreationally have that capability. We don't need anymore misinformation than what's already spreading.
By the same token, I don't hear people complaining about every parking lot and mall taking video of you everywhere you go :-)
