Our Drone Picks
I have flown a lot of drones. Everything from a $50 toy drone from Kohl's up to a $10,000 DJI Matrice series and mostly DJI. I own or have owned DJI Drones including the Phantom 3 Advanced, Phantom 4 Pro, Mavic Pro, Mavic 2 Pro, DJI FPV, Air 2, and the Air 2S. WIth these drones, I have done all sorts of contract work. I have done cell tower inspection, roof inspection, construction progress photos, photogrammetery, and all types of real estate.
When selecting a drone there are several factors to consider. First, what do you want to do with a drone? Often certain tasks or employers require specific drone models to be flown due to their photographic characteristics or their compatability with specific third party software. Second, what is your budget? Don't buy an expensive drone for a job that you don't have.
