If you’re on a mega-budget, I should make an honorary mention to the good old Phantom 3 Standard. Shoots 2.7k on a 1/2.3″ sensor but shoots 12 megapixel RAW photos just like the bigger models. Its really capable and cheap as crap now because its old, should be able to find it used on Craigslist, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, Offerup for like $250 or lower.
Mavic Mini – $400
2.7k and JPEG only but only $400 and can live in your pocket
Mavic Air 2 – $800
4K 1/2 inch sensor and REALLY bang for your buck at $800, such a good deal. 60fps as well.
Mavic 2 Pro – $1500
4K 1 inch sensor, 20 megapixel RAW photos. The holy grail, still worth it. Still worth just getting and not worth waiting on some Mavic 3 that’s ‘coming anyday’ just like the last 2 years, seriously.
Autel Evo II 6K – $1800 [NOT the 8K version please]
6K 1 inch sensor, 20 megapixel photos. More like 4K-equivalent really. Kind of weird, just got it so still testing but when you get over the odd stuff it has a GREAT picture, maybe on par with the Mavic 2 Pro, but not as intuitive, easy to fly, cool to show all the dads on the beach, or as feature rich. I’ll do a review later but so far has helped me pick up exactly 0 step-moms.
Inspire 2 + X5S camera – $8000+ Used
Shoots 5.2K 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 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.
Good content… new subscriber based off your reviews on the drones here.
6:50 i really don’t think that scene looks bad
but i guess i’m not too too picky yet with my video clarity and smoothness desires
I want to buy the mavic air 2 but there are allot of laws here for flying drones and it costs another €700 to follow a cursus and do a exam before I can fly the drone so I have no idea what to buy or to do
Me: looking at drones on amazon for less than $100
Video: "IT’S A TOYYY ! "
🤣🤣
where was all this shot? I love the mountains with snow scene a lot.
Hi! I found this video and i was wondering if any of these drones that you recommend are good for flying indoors. Like for an expo with a really high ceiling.
Bro I just subscribed instantly!!!🤦🏾♂️✅💪🏾💡 awesome direct straight to the fucking point tutorial hands down!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Like 👍 and Subscribed.
I like your video 🙂 It’s almost makes me buying a drone.
I have a Phantom 4 and am looking for a thermal imaging camera so I can look for lost dogs in the Mojave Desert. Any suggestions?
I genuinely appreciate the fact that you left in your little dyslexic moment. I feel normal now. Thank you 😂
absolutely brilliant video.
I don’t know shyte about tech,
but so clearly explained.
no distractions from mental backgrounds music.
your skills, show through in your filming.

So, drone complexity has become a photography issue and not that of flying a drone.
It seems like the differences you make between the levels of models is the camera and software for photography.
The ‘best beginner’ drone seems to be the mavic 2. For bang for your buck, has all the complexity of a professional instrument but still has easier editing files and ‘good enough’ image quality without heavy editing.
Then the 2 pro for really serious videos. With very complex editing, but for image quality, well worth it. That is, if you know what you’re doing in the editing process.
Hey bro, am soon starting my property show on YouTube and I’ve never used any of them. What drone do suggest cause if been learning videos editing and capture. Thank you
this video is so good I added it twice to my bookmarks without realising it
The mavic pro my purpose is checking roof if there is a hole on the roof, land checking and scouting the terrain ahead on the lushy green mountain if there is a trail
10:57 Sony Vegas Pro is choice with the right plugins tho……
your videos are dam near therapeutic
Now that’s what I call a straight-to-the-point and objective review without sounding like a salesman. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Where’s my $225.oo drone that takes decent quality videos ?
I just need something that doesn’t have to go over 80 feet high and takes some vid
C;mon man ! Anyone ? 😀
Agreed with another comment, your video should have gone way over 10M by now. The one thing that impressed me the most is your presentation skill.
Hi I am a photographer and I have really wanted a drone to take pictures. I noticed that the mavic mini covers my needs. I just want to know where can I buy this? (Im not buying any of the other ones because I’m just a kid and I don’t have too much money)
Colin 😂😂😂
I know I am way after the point as I scroll through your older videos but I am really liking the straight forward approach you take. I just bought a DJI Air 2S. I have played around with a couple of toy drones but not any real ones like those sold by DJI. I have been a nurse since 1994 but I started having heart issues right before covid hit. I had heart surgery in June but I’m not the same and I can’t nurse anymore. I am hoping to primarily learn videography and stop sitting around waiting to "go back to normal" but I do not like being on medical disability so if I can find a way to start making some money at the same time, that would be fantastic. now…back to binging your content 😁
can you do a reaction on Power Egg X
please what camera did you use to shoot your video??
Great advice! I have a limited budget, so can’t buy multiple drones, I have yet to get my first drone and this video has helped a lot to decide. But now there is Mavic Air 2 S, I think it has a 1" sensor, descent price. Wondering if that would move it closer to Mavic 2 Pro. Mavic 2 Pro is slightly beyond my budget, maybe could find a nice used one that would move it into my budget. Otherwise, will probably start with Mavic Air 2 S.
Great video, thank you, I’m a 1st time buyer. No mention of battery time, and the type of batteries etc. If anyone can send me somewhere for answers, thank you for posting !
DJI Mini SE out of the question?
What’s the difference between the Mavic 2 and the air2s ?
Now I know what to buy, thanks alot. Great Reviews.
This was very informative. Thanks for the video!
14:44 sold it for me!!
which would you have the phantom 4 pro or +
DJI = The best CHINESE drones that track your location. Right comrades? Ukraine drone operators know it all to well.
14:45 that bit right there had me so hype.
Can you do more videos about the inspire 2? I bought one at a great deal and I just need some pointers
5:00…. I feel like this aged poorly….and the mavic 3 is an example of that
excellent lesson. you earned a subscriber!
Good video, but FPV drones are about 5x cheaper than you claimed, you can buy/build a very solid drone for $200, not including googles/controllers.
Is some plastic more "plasticy" than others? Lol
Hi Uncle I am a Bangladeshi I had a lot of hobbies to buy a drone but I can’t afford to buy a drone.please you give me one drone uncle pleaseGive me a drone as a gift, you give many kinds of reviews
Best Really long lasting dron what

DOPE!
For under $1000 dollars, What’s the best drone for making commercials for my business plus when having parties??
So funny
Intro and channel name made me an instant sub
awesome video. much appreaciated thanks
The Mini 2 now shoots in raw and 4k. Same size as the Mini, 249g. I wonder if you think that is good enough for Pro work?
