Watch This Before Buying A Drone In 2023…

[@geoffharris1898]

I have an Air2s and an Avata. For taking great cinematic shots - reveals, pans, trucking along side a vehicle, etc. the Air 2s is great. For flying through trees, diving following skiers, bikes, etc. the Avata is crazy fun as is just ripping around and flying without filming at all. I've never taken the Air 2s out for a good rip to just fly, but i do with the Avata all the time.

[@dmac8207]

Such a damn good honest comparison. Plus he's a jacked Swedish dude with a chill personality. This man knows what he's talking about! My wife's buying me a drone for our 10th wedding anniversary gift and I've been so on the fence with what to get. Pretty sure I know now. Especially with kids and vacations it's gotta be the Mini 3 pro.

[@paulo.mesquita]

And if you are starting with fpv drones, don't go with the DJI remote, go with someting like the Radiomaster TX16. With this remote you can chose a lot of radio link options.

[@herokme0]

love this comparison! I think a big edge for the geprc mark 5 is that for people who are mechanically inclined and willing to take the time to do the research and learn, the cost for being able to repair those fpv drones yourself is a huge benefit over the avata. even though the avata is built like a tank, if it does break, it’s very hard to repair it yourself vs “regular” fpv drones where you can easily swap out parts for a much cheaper price. keep up the awesome content!

[@DeBroodjesRacing]

Agreed. And buying another drone to add more variety to your shots, just cost you around $400/500 extra (lets say a cinewhoop). All the other parts can easily be reused (which isnt the case for the DJI drones).

My friend you NAILED IT ! That’s exactly the scenario I’m in. I have the Avata and I enjoy flying fpv and would like to get a quad , however like you said , shot wise to be usable is a bit limited & now I’m starting to get into travel content etc. which is why I bought the mini 3 pro and now not only can I use 99% of the shots but I can also sell them for stock footage and a bunch of other benefits like picture etc. anyways BRAVO ! Explained it very well

Excellent comparison video PL! I have been following you for a couple of years now, and for me.... the most impressive part of this video is how much your English has improved over the years. lol I can seriously take you to a local pub here in Pocono, Pennsylvania and nobody would know that you didn't grow up here.

[@BenjiSelby]

I'm addicted to flying my drone haha I took my Mini 3 Pro on a Europe trip and got some crazy shots! Love it! I've had my eye on the avata since it came out and I want to check out the FPV hole too!

[@ianfigueira9450]

I always recommend new drone flyers to buy the DJI mini 2 since they are very cheap and easy to learn on. You can buy them new for under $500, and used for much less. I’ve got a mavic 2 pro, inspire 2, and recently I got a mini 3 pro and will be buying an avata setup next. Since buying the mini 3, I’ve been using that and the inspire the most.

[@flowyscreations]

Am just starting off into FPV and bought the Geprc Mark 5 to complement my Mavic 3. I started to fly the Mavic 3 in fpv mode but decided to take it one step further and get the real thing.

[@ActualCounterfactual]

Just the type of video I wanted to see... thanx for the post !!

[@tcoleman2627]

Very informative. Thank you

[@GeologyDude]

I just purchased a mini 2. I feel the need for a much better drone to do photogrammetry, but I’ve never used a drone before. So I feel the mini 2 is adequate for learning by a complete newbie. The drone should arrive in two weeks. I anticipate it will be great but I don’t want to overdo things at this stage. I have a lot to learn

[@gasquetmike8320]

The mini 2 is a great little drone and takes great videos. Buy a drone mask and fly it fpv! Its really fun and much easier than a real fpv drone !

[@tosvus]

@@gasquetmike8320 what kind of drone mask do you recommend?

[@rickracine9758]

if your not into FPV drones i think the Mini 2 would be a great beginner drone to start with manly because of the price difference from the Mini 3 pro , i have both including the original Mavic Mini

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Thanks man! Good info! Looks like the DJI Mini 3 pro for me.... Really appreciate the comparisons and explanations. cheers!

This was very helpful for everyone. Thanks for sharing.

[@nejc8a]

I buy a dji fpv drone couple of months ago and I'm flying only normal and sport. I'm not yet ready for manual. Because I don't want to break it. I'm a beginner and my wish is to get Mavic 3 one day and that's all I need for me.Those two drones are all you need.

[@gasquetmike8320]

Great video! The one thing no one ever mentions is flying a reg. Drone with fpv goggles? Ive been flying for 6 years using my phone in either split screen goggles or the drone mask. Its the best of both worlds to me. Not as fast or acrobatic as a fpv drone but still the fun of being "on board" the drone.its really the closest thing to actual flying ive ever done!

[@DarkWilSin666]

This is fantastic I always wanted to do something like this, and photography. This video was very helpful and I will continue to do more research and I might take your offer up on your course as well once I decide what to get but that DJI MINI 3 Pro looks like a winner for me so far. Hopefully I get the correct things for this drone when I decide to get it. Thank you for this video take care and happy droning.

[@Gerardworld]

thank you, i will go to the mavic 3 classic, i used the mini 2 ant it was great to learn

I decided that I would buy the Mini 3 Pro next week! and I recently bought the PL method course and it’s a real joy to have the stock footage, I love how you have a gift for teaching complicated things with easy to learn videos!

I am planing to go visit my hometown in Mexico in 3 weeks. Since is only to share in Facebook I do believe the mavic mini will be more than sufficient in terms of video quality. We ll see if after that if I decide to get a more advanced model

[@psyodome]

I would love to get into fpv, the problem I have is finding good KZbin video's of what it exactly looks like wearing the googles(are they good goggles?) I have seen plenty crispy clear 4k stuff from an additional camera on the drone.

[@paulo.mesquita]

I have been flying drones for over 10 years now, and I have fpv drones and regular DJI drones and I can say there is nothing quite like the FPV drone for fun and some types of videos, but for normal video I say go with DJI. If you want to start flying drones, DJI drones are much easier as Peter said, but if you want fun and adrenaline, try real FPV drones, not avata :). Great job Peter.

[@apriltv1999]

Did you ever need a license or certificate?? It’s illegal in my state so I’m hesitant

[@KyleWattsTV]

I really need to get back into flying drones again. Gotta upgrade from my mavic air to something newer. The mini 3 pro is intriguing due to drone laws and not necessarily knowing what those are when traveling

Totally depends on what you want to capture, An FPV can't capture any of the goodness that the Mavic 3 can! But it's WAY more fun to fly an FPV

Hej Peter! Kul att jag hittade dig. En fråga! Måste du skicka in enskilda klipp för spridningstillståndet, eller har du något "allmänt tillstånd"?

[@borisbojic]

Sadly, it gets harder and more complicated to actually *use* the drone within European countries. You needs various permits, there are many rules and restrictions, you need very often to ask the town / area beforehand before you can fly there, apply for a permit (and different ones depending where you want to fly - country? Mountains? Over lakes or the ocean?) and so on and so on. 😕

You said you have a computer program that lets you practice what's that for

[@norquad]

Went from GPS drones to fpv beacuse 1: Its way more fun 2: You can make cooler maneuvers 3: Its cheaper and easier to fix(if you can solder etc) 4: You can get insane and risky shots 5: More control 6: Possibility of more drones in shapes/sizes with the same controller/googles 7: Fast as F! 😎 aaand way more fun!

[@PeterLindgren1]

Biggest downside though is that you can’t get the same shots as a “regular” drone!

[@norquad]

@@PeterLindgren1 True, and you lack the tilt/rise ability on the camera for reveals. But do you really need those "regular" drone shots? With Horizon mode on fpv, horizon lock on gopro and editing you can recreate a lot of those moves :)

A good quick overview of the toy drones that most people fly. You said you have flown all types of drones so where is the Matrice or Inspire footage? How about even the P4P? Pro drones are so far beyond anything that is normally found on mediocre tube it is like night and day what the cost and the quality is. The M3 Cine is good prosumer but even it is NOT pro level

[@PeterLindgren1]

The principles of flying drones are the same. The phantom is barely any different from the Mavic, I doubt the Matrice or Inspire is either. If you can make professional work with a drone, I’d categorise it as a pro drone. The video is aimed at consumers rather than industry professionals 👍🏼

Crashed probably 4x because I was doing rolls and flips when I should have been doing orbitals and flying straight 🤦🏻‍♂️ but I’m hooked. Utility wise I think we will start to see FPV more often for certain type of feature films and a lot more for real estate. Especially with Avata for flying indoors with a “low risk” factor.

[@noonespecific9463]

Anyone new to drones and they are not sure what kind they want to end up using, a mini 2 isn’t going to cost you a fortune, a fly more combo retail is like 600, you can get just drone, controller, and a single battery even cheaper. With a nearly 30 minutes flight time , a single battery is probably enough. Do this before you drop 1500 or 2000 dollars on a drone. If you aren’t going to make a career of it, you are going to get bored with camera drones, unless you just really like video and picks. If you want a drone for occasional flights , vacations and that type of thing, a mini 2 is all you need. You will find all that obstacle avoidance is in the way most of the time. If you learn to fly in atti mode first , no gps, learn to control the drone with no gps first. When you fly gps you will already be way better than many many drone operators out there right now, they lose gps and they aren’t close enough to see their drone clearly, they are toast. Learn to fly atti first, you will make it home everytime the battery allows it. 98 percent of people who want to fly drones won’t have the patients to learn to fly FPV. There are tiny complete set up for fpv drones to just fly around your house, those will show you how hard it actually is to fly fpv and it won’t cost but a couple hundred bucks to see if you want to do it. My first drone was a DJI spark, lol, I crashed that thing so many times I don’t know how it survived in tact, they were rarely easy crashes, I’m talking bounced off the ground knock the battery out of the craft crashes, good luck and stay sub 250 until you know what you want to do long term. That’s the best advice I could give anyone interested. But what do I know?…..lol……I’m nobody……..
