Before that, its a bunch of Toy-Grade HolyStone drones.
(I intentionally avoid DJI because of geofencing, and Autel is the only real competitor, but I don’t know if they are still making consumer drones anymore.
So if Autel is gone, its just Potensic and Fimi drones with no geofencing, and these are kinda shitty brands, not as good as DJI, but its the only ones left without geo-restrictions. But at least its not HolyStone level of shitty.)
I kinda just explore the skies and looks around the neighborhood. I mean I sometimes record videos just to keep them in an SSD, but like I don’t really wanna make youtube videos. Cuz um… I don’t follow line of sight rules (fuck FAA).
I just want enjoy the view from above. Cuz I’m not gonna be piloting manned aircraft, so videofeed from drones is the closest thing there is. The world looks amazing from above.
Theres a park nearby where theres a clear view where thers zero obstuctions, and I fly can fly like 4000 meters away and its like a road trip, in the sky, and I barely have enough battery to return.
I actually lost drones when took it too far and then it went against the wind during return. Rookie mistakes lol.
Yea just dont get a DJI, they have some geolocking on their drones. I personally don’t like when companies control stuff you buy, but if you don’t mind the restrictions, then sure, get DJI.
So basically, the best brands there is are:
DJI (geofencing, I don’t recommend)
Autel
Potensic
Fimi
Everything else seems like toy-grade stuff
reddit.com/r/drones have great info, niche subreddits are still very useful despite reddit’s enshittification
Rule of Thumb: Don’t fly into airports, Don’t fly into military bases, Don’t fly when high-level politicians are near your area (unless you wanna get a visit from the government).
Getting your rig shot at by a paranoid redneck is a rite of passage.
What do you fly? You do freestyle, or photography/videography?
I have an Autel Evo Nano+
I previously had a Potensic Atom
