If you’re a sucker for landscape and aerial photography or you are considering testing new waters, there are pretty much drones that will help you achieve your dream in landscape and aerial photography. But I will like to say that being a drone flyer can be a bit complicated because drone flying is not permitted in every country, you need to get a flying permit. But if there are rules to flying drones in your country, please kindly let us know how we can get registered to be granted access to fly, in the comments section. This is to help anyone reading this article who would like to travel perhaps to your country to get certified, especially travel, documentary, aerial photographers, and cinematographers. You can check up http://www.faan.gov.ng/ if you’re in Nigeria or looking to visit, this will allow you make enough research and to know locations that drones are allowed to fly.
In this article, I will be sharing some of the available drones that are pocket-friendly and great for aerial photography.
THE DJI with the DJI Mavic Air 2, aerial photography just got more flexible especially as it features a high camera mode that allows you to flex your creative muscle. The DJI Mavic Air 2 allows you to capture impressive 48MP photos with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor while the 3-axis gimbal provides 4K/60fps video. The secret to incredible HDR video is a high-performance Quad Bayer image sensor. OcuSync 2.0 has a video transmission distance of up to 6.2mi / 10 km and can also deliver 1080p FHD resolution Livestream directly from the drone’s camera.
THE DJI MAVIC 2 ZOOM this amazing drone comes with an optical zoom lens that gives you a close-up on your subject for that perfect detail. It embeds in it some fantastic features like the quick snapshot, 2X optical zoom at a 12-mega pixel, and a ISO 3200.
THE DJI MINI 2 This drone has been proven to be the best drone for beginners in aerial photography, more like a go-to drone for beginners. It is also light weighted with 12-megapixel like the Mavic 2 zoom which shoots 4k videos at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps which is very suitable for beginners
THE Autel EVO II This drone comes very pricy, one great feature about this drone is that it shoots 8K video, and it comes with a 3.3-inch OLED screen built into the remote, meaning you don’t have to worry about pairing your phone.
