Ultimate Drone Buying Guide for Total Beginners 2024
Best Camera Drones for Beginners that still shoot pro quality video and photos compared:
DJI Mini 3 vs. DJI Mini 4 Pro vs. Air 3 vs. Autel Evo Lite+ vs. Mavic 3 Pro vs. Mavic 3 Classic vs. DJI Mini 2 vs. DJI Inspire 2 with X5S
Link for the Cinematography & Editing drone course, includes the drone business/marketing course now too so they are just one thing.
$100 Off because I love you I guess:

If you cannot get the best thing do not stress about it, all of the drones I go over are still incredible to be able to get as "entry level."
Even the Mini 2 is STILL an awesome drone. Mini 4K is the updated model and you have to get it on Amazon strangely.
It has a 1/2.3" sensor and shoots 12 megapixel photos but it is PLENTY to grow with. Just find it used on Craigslist, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, Offerup for like $250 or lower.
Mini 4K (2020) - $300
(newest version of the Mini 2)
4K Video, RAW photos, no collision sensors but can live in your pocket
Mini 3 (2022) - $400
4K, RAW photos, Great connection, Vertical Filming, .76 inch sensor, really impressive for the convenience and ease. No anti-bonk
Mini 4 Pro (2023) - $750/$900
Get the $900 one, it is a billion times worth having a dedicated smart remote especially for so little extra.
.76 inch sensor, 4K footage, vertical filming, 12 megapixel RAW photos, quietest body type, looks like a bug when its flying. I could write an essay about this thing. By far the most fun to use, incredible connection. Footage often looks like it came from a bigger drone. Activetrack to follow you around if you care about that.
I've got a video on the Mini 4 Pro vs Mini 3 Pro as well, LOVE it.
Air 3 (2023) - $1000
MASSIVE improvement on its predecessor, 2 camera on it which I actually use equally and didn’t expect that. Sensor has improved low-light and exposure balancing is really great in this generation, even if the sensor is same size as mini 3 pro.
4K footage, .76” sensor, 12 megapixel photos.
60fps if you care (I don't). It is cooler than the Mini 4 Pro because of camera 2 and the sick looking body, but Mini 4 Pro is just so convenient so its a tossup. Get mavic 3 classic if pro quality is priority.
Autel Evo Lite Plus (2022) - $1100
6K 1 inch sensor, 20 megapixel photos. Flies pretty rigid so stick to front/back and left/right. Really nice picture, lovely reds like in all Autels. Oversharpened image but I can live with that, just adjust some in editor. Fun colors to pick from give it extra points, could use it for work and still get the job done if DJI gets hit by a car one day. Doesn't beat DJI but this isn't bad.
Autel Evo Nano Plus (2022) - $700
NO
Mavic 3 Pro (2022) - $2200
4/3 inch Sensor, 5.1K footage, 20mp photos. Long flight time. Get the normal version not the $4000 Cine version if you don't know what Prores format is.
This is the Business Class plane ticket drone, there is no going back after having this. Unbelievable dynamic range. UNREAL stability, default color, flight control, flexible rich data for color grading.
A 3x and 7x telephoto lens comes on it. Never use the 7x aside from fun, but the 3x is a great length and useful… just hard to give up the quality of the wide camera that is 5.1k.
Still great for cool angles and cinematography nerds. In general most of what I film on this drone looks better in the end than what I thought I was getting while shooting. They knocked it out of the park with this drone, no limits honestly.
Mavic 3 Classic - $1300
Not typing all that again, you get the point. Minus the Zoom lenses, everything else is the same. Crapping myself at the price being so cheap now. What a deal.
DJI Mini 5 - No, don't even start asking.
Inspire 2 + X5S camera - $5000+ Used
Shoots 6K RAW Video (literally filming in RAW photos)
5.2K 422 Prores and 4K Proress 4444 incase you know what that all means. Cinema formats but such a pain to lug around, and the noise is a lot. It's more like a once in a while, Ace in the hole to blow something out the water or shoot Stock Footage and practice cinematography. Interchangeable lenses are really nice too.
I have other videos on making money, go watch those if you need.
If you want the fastest way to get better footage, watch the Cinematography one, trust me it is very necessary.

Avata 2 as a first FPV Drone
Переглядів 57 тис.2 місяці тому
DJI Avata 2 has released April 11th, 2024 with 23m flight time, lighter than the original. First time FPV drone for me despite years of cinema drone use, and this was the experience. I don't see a bridge besides this for beginners to enter FPV world without the stress and learning curve. Its a much needed halfway point for a drone that can be treated like crap and still get great stuff (gopro r...

    I'm the research guy too much lmao. 😂. I went with Autel Evo Lite Plus. The only reason I didn't go with DJI. Was because it reminded me of days when if you didn't wear Jordans, somehow you weren't ish! Ive been super happy ESPECIALLY for night flying! Oh my gosh, beautiful footage and pictures at night with Evo Lite Plus. By the way I've still not EVER WORN Jordans! 😂. Never NOT all but the DJI folks will make you feel worthless if you fly anything else that's not DJI lol 😆. But ive met some nice DJI pilots and we all have fun doing what we love. Nevertheless, that's why I went with Autel. SECOND best and still gets the job done!

    Man I have a bunch of those drones, Mini 3, Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro, AIR 3, I just got the Autel Evo Lite + Premium Bundle, 14 days ago, but I haven't opened the box yet. I also have the AIR 2S, DJI FPV Drone, all my DJI drones are fly more combos & I just ordered the Avata 2 Fly More Combo . Im studying for my part 107, & I really want to start a small Drone photography and General photography side business. For camera gear, I only have the Sony Alpha 6400 & my wife has the Sony Alpha 6100. We definitely need more lenses, we only have the two sony 16-50 kit lenses, a sony 55-210 kit lense, & a oss sony 18-135 kit lense. I would love to have better camera gear, but I think we will be alright to get started..

    Scrap all them appart from inspire 3 just make one with that hasseblad on mavic 3 that has variable optical zoom up x7 or 10 but on that 1 nch sensor only not those smaller mishmashes that don't compare in quality if the drone has to be bigger than mavic 3 then make it bigger and make screens brighter on them overpriced remotes.

    As someone who use a full frame mirrorless, I am actually very surprised to realise the Inspire has a micro 4/3 sensor. I always thought that it has a super 35mm from the look of that thing. Now I wonder how much it would cost to put an APS-C or full frame sensor into the air. With that said, I think I'm settling for a mini 3. Great explanations on the classes and important features of the drones. Love the sense of humour. Great work and many thanks for sharing it.
