Hello everyone,
I been flying drones for a few years now (hobby only) and now I'm going into commerical. I have my Part 107 and I'm preparing to get insurance prior to my first job. I originally was going to make the bulk of my business Real Estate but as many of us know there isn't much money in it but I will still include it in my services. Mapping/Surveying is the route I'm planning to go and my question is what drone is good to start off with? I know I will eventually have to upgrade and buy more drones as the business grows.
Here are my choices, the first 2 I found for sale used.
Inspire 1 v2 Pro w/X5R
Matrice M100 w/X3
Evo 2 Pro
I know that the Inspire 1 batteries are no longer made and can be difficult to get. I don't mind that especially if it gets me going at first and then upgrade shortly after.
I came across someone selling a Matrice 100 with 6 batteries, controller, x3, charger and props for just under $2000.
The Evo 2 I would buy new if that was the way to go.
Sorry for the long ramble and I do appreciate any help
