Hey, I'm a film major and want to use drones rto film car scenes, etc. Im trying to figure out which drone I want to buy. Im sort of a beginner, but i know how to fly. Can anyone offer me any advice? http://dronelifestyle.com/drone-buying-guide/ this site says the 4 is the way to go, but it doesnt really compare the cameras which i care about.
If you value the quality of the footage. Inspire 1 pro is a way to go. Especially If we don’t talk about the cost for a minute, then Inspire is a better choice. Phantom 4 has a smaller sensor (1/2.3” ) compared Micro Four Thirds on the Inspire camera series. Besides that, the Inspire gives you interchangeable lenses so you can choose between a few different prime lenses, and a couple of zooms. The Inspire Pro comes with either the: X5 4K video at up to 30fps Record at 4096×2160 (24fps) or1920x1080 (60fps) 16MP photographs 12.8 stops of dynamic range or the: X5raw Lossless cinema 4K RAW video Record at 4096x2160 (24fps) or 1920x1080 (60fps) Average 1.7 Gbps bitrate (2.4Gbps maximum) Removable 512GB SSD 16MP photographs 12.8 stops of dynamic range From a filmmaker point of view, If you consider inspire it’s also important to remember: Pros:Landing gear on the Inspire lifts up so you pan 360 degrees without anything obstructing the view. Cons:Inspire 1 is a much larger and heavier platform. It’s might not always be practical to carry it around to your shoot locations. Battery life is considerably lees so much shorter flight times.
Wow! Thats all the help I'll need. I really appreciate you spending the time to thoroughly explain everything to me. After reading your post, I'm convinced I'm gonna save a few more bucks and get the Inspire. Thanks again this response was such a treat Cheers! George
Spot on! I love my Inspire 1 but be careful - the inspire 1 comes with the x3 camera where you can't change the lens..You will have to get the Inspire 1 and then purchase the X5 or X5R camera...or the Pro that comes with the X5 or X5 raw or even the Inspire 2.
I would personally consider the new Phantom 4 Pro + now, which is has a big increase in camera quality.
