Hi all,
I run an independant filming and photography buisness , working in advertising and major productions. We do a reasonable amount of aerial work as well, but at the moment 90% of our aerial work is either from a small plane or we hire a 22 or 44 depending. if we need a drone we hire someone to do the work for us, this method is not working for us hence now looking at owning our own drone.
THIS IS THE QUESTION, we test the waters first with everything....so we bought a cheap drone first to check this out....the first one was an Echine S511E (yes we know it is useless for profesional work) but was perfect to learn how to destroy an investment.... it has taught us a load, we will continue using it to test a space and even look at locations where we intend to film....SO ! Now we want to look at good introductions to filming drones.... then we will go the whole way and buy a US$10k drine.
To start we looked at buying a second hand drone...these are the models.... DJI inspire 1, phantom 4, MAVIC 2 PRO, and we looked at a few othere brands as well...keeping in mind that we are now just testing the waters so we dont make a masive mistake....
we are looking for sound advice now on reasonable entry level drone to use in the filming enviromemt to get to know which way we should move .....what other drones are out there that could work for us ...minimum to start for us is 4K , 12-20 megapixels, not necessairly replacable lenses, but manual settings is a must, good gimble. For a start we dont need second controller .
Sound adviice welcome
