I am brand spanking new to this multirotor stuff and it's been a confusing few months trying to research all the possibilities. I have looked at everything from high end $25,000 systems to scratch and dent stuff. Trying to figure out what will work for what I want to do is pretty tough. I am retired and would like to do photography for myself at first but then maybe more commercially later. I have read all about the FAA and weather or not you can or can't fly and I have satisfied my concerns about that.
Anyway, I am hoping that these forums will help me determine which set up I will end up buying. I have two trains of thought. Go low end to start, or, pay the money and do it right. I realize there are risks to both ways of doing this. I know I want FPV and gps with some sort of screen to see the camera view.
It will be interesting to see where it all ends up. The wife thinks I'm crazy ( I'm sure some of you have heard that ) and she might be right. I have not figured out the best bullcrap rational to tell her about why this is a good idea so any excuses used by any of you would be greatly appreciated. I've used up most of my bag-o-tricks when I bought the full dress Harley several years ago. She actually likes that now since I took her on numerous rides to other states. Maybe she will end up liking this new idea too but right now I just get the whole rolling eyes, turn around, and frozen pizza for supper thing. I will probably end up having to buy her new clothes or something but that's ok.
By the way, I think it's perfectly fine to be 53 years old and wanting to still feel like a kid by doing something like this. I'm right about that.........aren't I??
