whitebuck Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 I guess the consensus is Mr. P with his Drone is the best way to get video? LOL Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namecipS Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Are there other good video recording drones that don't have a comma in the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Parrot Bebop 2 is reasonable. it doesn't have all the features of the DJI but for $450-$500 it is a very respectable drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only afford an Escalade, so I too am jealous of your Z06. Hahaha Thanks, I'll check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine has one of these and it works quite well for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newegg has a really good deal on a DJI Phantom 4 with 4K Camera for $699.00. It is a refurbished unit by DJI. They have 2 left. Sale ends Sat 11/18/17. Despite the negative comment left by someone on the Newegg page, DJI is a very good company and a very nice, easy to fly drone, plus I found extra blades at Walmart. Here is the Newegg link. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAWD4YA3392&cm_re=dji_phantom_4_pro-_-380-0002-00047-_-Product Just for grins I looked on Walmarts website and found 3 under $600.00 https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=&query=dji+phantom Alan...

default Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I have used a Flip Cam for recording. Whatever you decide to use, if it is a on ground unit and you plan to share the videos, invest in a cheap tripod. Nothing takes away from a nice show than a shaky video. Alan...

Thebug Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Or you can even go the better route like I did I have a friend at work who is an avid drone flyer and does a lot of on the side video projects for different companies. He agreed to come fly over mine and do videos for me and the best part is he said he'd do it for free. No need to buy a silly expensive drone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbltrukr1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I use a Sony A6300 on a tripod, plug a digital portable FM radio directly into Mic jack on camera for no background noise. I also record at 2 or 3am and have very few vehicles driving by. Videos on my site at: https://9thstreetlights.weebly.com/2017-videos.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfuller8400 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I just got a Canon Vixia HF R72 for Christmas that I'm hoping will allow me to get some decent videos. Now it just has to warm up enough for me to try it out (it's been about -12 at night lately). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
