camera questions

Stefler · Dec 31, 2016

So I have been looking around for a while now but I cant seem to find any information on drone cameras that look upwards..

I need a drone that can fly up towards a shoebox light in a mall parking lot or a car dealership. So a drone that can get close to the pole and just get a quick look at the bulb in the fixture itself. Many situations I'm not able to get a ladder where I need but I always wish I had a drone.

So I'm officially going to get one for my business but like I had mentioned I need the camera to look up at and angle and also be steady.

Any Input or model advice?

Perhaps you could rig up some sort of mirror.

Darn haha there is no drones/ phantoms that look at a decent upwards angle?

Perhaps the Mavick with its front mounted camera , rather than underslung like the phantoms.

Best you can do with the phantom is up +30 degrees.

The FreeFly Alta 8 will shoot upwards, or downwards as the gimbal can mount either way. It will cost you dearly though to do so, about $20,000 plus the camera.
