Need Recommendation for Drone

You can hardly see what they're doing from an aerial view. You need an eye-level view for that. My new house camera will be all eye-level view not that roof level bullshit that everybody does.

Coldchi is right.

I too am surprised that no one has

upped videos of protests with their

drones. If I was anywhere around them,

I would definitely shoot some overhead

shots to emphasize the crowd sizes and

their movements. I'm sure some places

would forbid UAVs but until someone

told me not to fly, or posted signs...

I'm flying and filming. :cool:
 
Ok I just got the Mavic mini to play around with first. It’s only $399 and I get 10% off plus another $200 credit from Amex. It should be here next week.

I got the DJI Spark bundle for my birthday a few years ago as a starter drone. I love it and have no complaints. The camera is excellent for what I need and I'd like to upgrade but I'm trying to justify the reason to do so if I don't have to. My brother in law has had everything from the Phantom to the Mavic Pro and he upgrades every time a new one comes out for the "new technology". My Spark does a lot of the things his does besides the extended battery life (I keep 3 on deck) and flight distance (which I don't have a dire need for); you don't want to fly further than you can visually see it anyway. I was asked to work a pool party last Summer and captured some amazing footage. I believe they came with the Mavic Mini to compete or replace the Spark. I would also suggest you check the video reviews for different models on Youtube. There was a really good one where a guy compared the Spark and the Mavic and for the $1000 difference the Spark held it's own and has some features that the other models don't (or didn't) have like the lock on recording where you set it to lock on a subject and it will follow it without you controlling it.

The spark is a powerful little drone. I took mine to Mexico in a bag the size of a lunchbox.

I hear the camera is nice but be careful,

it is not very friendly in Any wind conditions.
 


That is one of the biggest problems with smaller lighter drones. I tend to fly alot near the beach, off of cliffs, mountains, etc. The higher you go, the more wind you will have to deal with. This effects video and photo quality. Additionally, it would get me nervous to not have the stability while I was flying. I flew my drone from a boats a number of times. That wind is crazy and trying to bring it in a moving boat would definitely be harder with a lighter drone. I think the Mavic Air 2 has propeller meters that a powerful enough to handle most situations. With my Zoom, I never have to worry about drift.
