Good day,
New to the forum and new to the industry. I'll be taking my part 107 test this Monday and looking forward to purchasing my first drone. I'm open to any type of business but I'm most interested in working with land / real estate because of the connections I've made in a prior life. I know civil engineers, architects, real estate brokers, etc.
Full disclosure, I've only ever operated a drone once in my life and it was a cheap piece of crap one of my kids got for Christmas over 10 years ago. I flew it for 30 seconds. I'm pretty sure it's still sitting about 60' up in the tree across the street. But I digress...
I've done some research on the DJI site. I was looking at the mini, the mavic, phantom, air 2S's, etc. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on a system with my interests in mind. I'm kind of torn between just getting something cheap to practice with or spending a little more to get something that might not be the end-all but might be enough to dip my toes into my areas of interest.
I'm also wondering if it's better to go with a remote that uses a phone or tablet vs. one with a screen, given the type of business I'm interested in starting with. To be honest, any advice or guidance is welcome and appreciated. My price range is in the neighborhood of $1000-1500. Although I don't mind spending less if advised.
Thank you very much.
