Hello!
I've found myself wanting to get into owning a drone.
After some light research and asking around, the DJI Phantom line is where I've been directed.
I'm looking to get a drone for a little bit of fun- but mainly for a very specific purpose.
I've got ~100 acres of private property that I've started developing, and I want areal photography of my progress! I can get some every few years from satellite imagery, but I'd like at least two sweeps a year, and I'd love to be able to live-view remote areas of the property if something seems off.
Budget isn't set yet- but I'd like to avoid going over the 1k mark for TCO on the first year.
I'm assuming I'll be buying used- ebay or forum classies? Not sure!
Hoping someone with more info is willing to provide some input.
As it stands, I almost purchased a local phantom 4 pro kit locally- but they wanted 1200 and that seemed a bit steep for a first time user.
