I just bought the original DJI Mavic Air and think this is the best budget drone you can buy for under 300 euro.
Pros of this drone:
- 4K 24/30fps video at 100mbps
- RAW photos
- Photo Bracketing for HDR
- Stable and good wind resistance
- Proximity sensors all around
Cons:
- Easy to loose connectivity with the remote (but it records the take off point and returns to it on its own if the connection cant be reestablished)
- Cant fly far (max 2km if there are no obstacles that would affect connection
- Battery life only 15-20 minutes
I recently landed a client video shoot that required drone footage and quickly realised that hiring a drone operator would quickly shrink the budget for this project, so I started checking the used market for a good drone that would not break the bank. My needs were simple: 4k video, a decent codec, ability to take raw photos, and decent stability in windy conditions. After a bit of looking around I came to the conclusion that the original DJI Mavic Air was the best option for me and managed to get one for only 200 euro. I was surprised to see that the drone was in amazing condition, the battery had only gone through 30 cycles and everything worked perfectly. After a few test flights I was ready for my shoot.
I was really impressed with the quality of the footage (in good light) and how easy and intuitive it was to fly.
Definitely still a great option for anyone looking for a good drone!
