Hey guys! So I've been watching a lot of aerial videos lately and it got me really curious about drones (quadcopters). I wanted to see if any of you guys have done extensive research on the different products available. I've been looking at the DJI phantom 2 and that seems to be the best choice by far. It's a RTF model, and with the GPS it seems to be extremely simple to fly. Am I missing anything??
Between the copter, gimbal and GPS components, it should be just under $1000 dollars. And then another $400 for a gopro (anyone got a discount code? I lost mine). I know I can recoup a fair amount of this cost by making videos of my parents child care centers right off the bat. Also my best friend's mom is a house stager and is really well connected with the local real estate agents, so I think I could get a lot of gigs doing real estate tours.
Basically I'm looking for justification of the purchase and any additional info you guys have. Is there a better option than the phantom 2? Am I in over my head as a beginner?
