First, buy whatever drone you like for whatever reason you like. It's your right. IMO, though, you should consider what you really want to do and what will fulfill those needs. There's always something "better" on the market and, even if you buy the supposed best, a few months later something newer will be released. Sometimes it's better not to get on that treadmill at all. I bought a P3S, not because I couldn't buy a more expensive drone, but because it does most of what I want a drone to do at a bargain of a price. It's also expandable with cheap antenna mods and app software. Sure, the more expensive drones have neat features, but there are two truisms in photography: better skill will get you further than better gear; the best camera in the world is the one you have with you.
I appreciate your post. I am going with the P3S. Extra range is nice, but honestly I don't know that I'd want to go that distance with a $600+ piece of equipment.
My main goal is to get into realestate photography/videography, and a few other things. I figure I can make a decent start with this set up and earn some extra funds and move up to better drones in the future. Also before anyone says it's difficult to get into and it's competitive. I have a good friend who flips houses and already offered to pay me to film his houses, and my uncle is a custom home builder who wants drone video too.
Can't pass up the current sale on a refurbished P3S at $329.
Thanks for everyone's input. |
