  • Best Drones for beginners that still shoot pro quality video and photos compared.
    DJI Mini 2 vs. DJI Mini 3 Pro vs. Air 2S vs. Autel Evo Nano Plus vs. Mavic 3 vs. Mavic 2 Pro vs. Autel Evo II Pro K vs. DJI Inspire 2 with X5S
    Link to the Editing & Cinematography drone course, includes the drone business/marketing course now too so they are just one thing.
    $100 Off because I love you I guess:
    courses.dronelaunchacademy.co...
    If you're on a mega-budget, You can STILL get awesome footage. A mini 2 is still a really good drone and DJI told me they don't want the Mini 3 Pro and Mini 2 to compete. It isn't a replacement its just a more VIP option but the same size.
    Mini 2 Pro still gets RAW format photography, 4k footage stabilized, awesome connection on the newer remote, it still kicks man.
    It is 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 SE - $250 New
    (used to be called Mavic Mini)
    2.7k and JPEG photos only but can live in your pocket
    Mini 2 - $450
    4K, RAW photos, Great connection, really impressive for the size, convenience and ease
    Mini 3 Pro - $750/$900
    Get the $900 one, it is REALLY worth having a dedicated smart remote especially for this little extra.
    1/1.3 inch sensor, 4K footage, vertical filming, 12 megapixel RAW photos, quietest drone so far, looks like a bug flying. Such a crazy fun experience, incredible data. They've made the footage look like it came from a bigger drone. Activetrack to follow you around if you care about that.
    I've got a review on this drone already.
    LOVE this thing.
    Air 2S - $1000
    Pay more for the Fly More kit though, you want the batteries and ND filters:
    5.4K footage, 1 inch sensor and REALLY bang for your buck at $1000, such a good deal. 60fps if you care (I don't) and competes with the mavic 2 pro image. Most people in the Mini 3 Pro crowd who care a little more about quality (professionals) choose this drone.
    Mavic 2 Pro - $1000 Used
    King of drones up until last year. 1 inch sensor, 20 megapixel RAW photos. The holy grail, still worth it.
    Autel Evo II 6K - $1100 Used
    6K 1 inch sensor, 20 megapixel photos. Flies funny, default picture is weird. Have to tweak it in editing but then it is great.
    I'd pick a mavic 2 pro used anyday
    Mavic 3 - $2150/$2850
    Get the normal version not the $5000 Cine version if you don't know what Prores format is.
    There is no going back after having this drone. Unbelievable dynamic range. UNREAL stability, color, control. When it launched it was janky, but they fixed everything with firmware updates. A 7x zoom lens as a second option. Everything I have filmed has looked much better than i was anticipating while shooting.
    This is for professional who want to knock anything out of the park, no limits honestly.
    DJI Mini 4 - No, don't even start asking.
    Inspire 2 + X5S camera - $8000+ 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. Its an insanely high quality image that is mega flexible for color grading and so enjoyable just to watch ungraded b-roll with it, but man is it a pain in the butt to get out, lug around, deal with the attention and the noise it has. 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.

    In my 7 years of experience with drones I've never heard somebody giving such a clear explanation of advanced concepts about the things professionals look for in a drone, and giving this info in a way that's perfectly understandable for beginners as context for the decision on which drone to get and what should be their expectations. Interesting as a pro, much more interesting, I bet, to a newcomer. Expertly done!

For some reason, I thought it could get lost, or crash/smash easily, etc. Granted, I'm in my 70's and this is quite the hobby to be getting into, but I'm looking forward to it and if I have fun with my new toy, I will use all your advise and upgrade to something a bit more professional! Thank you for a very well presented overview. I've subscribed just in case you cover anything else in the photography/video area I might find helpful!

    Dude, seriously, I have to be the crankiest YT viewer on the planet. Most drone advice or news videos p*ss me off royally because either they're SO padded with junk to fill runtime, or are 100% focused on commercial US or UK 250g+ drone use (see: snoody)...
    But your videos are just freaking brilliant!
    Fast. To the point. FUNNY. And totally relatable. Your advice for the beginner drone op (basically, chill man, the FAA are not coming to take away your stuff and the birds are not out to kill your drone - mostly) literally hit every single anxiety I have even after flying for almost two years. I could tell you knew what it's like.
    Simply.. bravo, sir. Magnificent stuff. I wish the other YT videobloggers were half as professional and had their act together as well as you.

    Thank you for being honest about the pros and cons of the different drones and also for explaining the most important features in dealing with drones. As with photography, so is with the drones - it's not always the most expensive "toy" and its features which will bring you the best shot but what you need to know about it and how to utilize it best.

      Except he 'forgot' (or was paid to 'forget') how DJI is Chinese. No-one with any morals or who cares about their future would ever buy such expensive products from a Chinese, partially state-owned company (and all such companies even if not publicly state-owned like DJI is are really state-owned anyway in reality).
      For example Parrot is a French company. Even if their products might be very slightly inferior in some aspect it's the only choice for people with morals. For example the US military and European (non-corrupt) militaries will only buy from companies like Parrot which are not serving evil China.

My hats off to you my friend, and thank you for such a wellspring of knowledge and forethought, for those of us who are just getting our feet wet in the drone world! Your knowledge combined with a no bullsh*t approach, really makes me glad to have found your channel. It's amazing just how difficult it is find channels like this that isn't filled with useless blabbering to make the videos longer. Cheers mate!

I’ve flown a friend’s older dji drone a couple times and have been racking my brain trying to figure out a good entry-level drone for my anticipated outdoor use. Because of your presentation I’ve decided on the dji mini 3 pro mainly because of the lower level of sound it generates.. I’m no professional photographer so I know the picture quality of the mini 3 pro is going to make me very satisfied with the results I get. I will also be checking out your classes.

    You totally nailed this, best advice regarding the latest drones, simple and concise! My son is creating content for his Hard Enduro dirt bike channel, started out with an SE but the range with obstructions was horrible. Moved up to the Mini 2 and totally different animal. Unfortunately, only had it like 5 months and the 3 Pro came out. I agree while the separate controller is awesome $900 is a lot to swallow. Keep up the great job. I am going to have my son check out your courses, his editing skills need some work.

    I love the advice not to wait. I've been in the IT industry for over 20 years - and every year I get a few people tapping me for PC buying advice - and they're inevitably worried that if they buy now, in 6 months the same thing will be cheaper. For years I've been telling them, "it will be. that is 6 months you won't have had the use of the item." It applies to almost *everything* we buy. People wait months or years to buy what they want, not understanding that their time enjoying that item (or going without it) has a price. My most recent personal experience with this was VR headsets. I bought it in December, in January the prices dropped. I'm OK with this. I didn't want to wait another 30 days to start exploring VR. Buy something, and do not price check it later. Enjoy having had it from exactly the moment you decided you wanted it.
    Great drone advice - I was looking for something just like this. I do have an older Holy Stone 700 (original, not a D or E) and it is fun - and offers many of the features of these better drones for a relatively inexpensive price - but I recently met someone with a DJII Mavic and watched him fly off into the distance and his faith that it would return and realized that the bump in price is worth it - especially as the price difference gap has narrowed from the *best* Holy Stones to the least expensive higher end ones.

    You did such a good job with the drone explanations. Right away hearing you speak, I can tell you are connected to the source. I have an $80 toy drone that I haven't even flown yet. I am so motivated to take it for a flight. If I continue to really enjoy drones I think I will go with the DJI Mini 3 because of active track since I ride dirt bikes for fun and that seems to be pretty dang cool. I kind of wish you went into the Phantom models because for years I always admired that drone for some reason. Anyways, God bless and thanks for sharing.
