Well, I'm huge technical geek as well as what I would call a serious amateur photographer. For me, I really liked the DJI models because of their "intelligent" flight modes, active tracking capability, auto-hovering, auto-return to home (has saved me at least 5 times). From there, it was choosing the most portable model with the best camera I could afford, which was the Mavic 2 Pro, around $2K... the next model up, the "Inspire" is a Pro model and like $10K for the drone and another $5K for the camera....
They do have some newer ones less expensive now with a camera that is close, as well as a newer high speed FPV racing/trick flying style.
Lots of options out there, comparing is half the fun!
Enjoy!
Thanks so much! This gives me a better starting point to engage my search once again. I cannot thank you enough and those shots are SWEET! Of course, your scenery is, but, to make it look that way... it is a definite talent.
Have a great day!
Ah, you're too kind. I don't get near as much time to play with it as I would like to get better. Starting a new job in a couple weeks so hopefully that will change.
Good luck in your search and will be looking forward to your decision and posts! Don't hesitate to drop me a note if you have more questions.
