Hi guys,
I've been reading almost every topic for the past weeks, and I'm still not sure what is the best choice for me...
Since I was a little kid I always wanted to film stuff, I got my first camera quit early and used it a lot. the past few years I haven't had the time and energy to do much for personal reasons. But I caught myself often thinking about how amazing it would be to start filming again with a drone.
In the beginning of December I pulled the trigger and decided to buy a drone, after some research I knew that there was a P4P rumored so I decided to wait and see what that would change.
Like I said after reading a lot of forums and watching Youtube video's I still can't decide what is the right drone, my doubts:
Mavic Pro:
Like the portability, don't like the fragile camera, the lack of tablet holder I use an iPhone SE and that is just to small. And finally I definitely don't like the design (weirdly important to me). Since I'm not traveling that much the Mavic is not going to be the one for me.
Phantom 4 vs Phantom 4 Pro
Prices in my country are: €900 for the P4 and €1400 for the P4P. At the moment I'm finishing an internship as a bonus I get €1700, that is money I can spend on technology so I can afford the P4P but I'm just not sure if it is worth the extra €500. Yes I know about the sensor size, more megapixels, increase in dynamic range and the side and back sensors.
To be honest, I want the P4P but I'm just looking for a reason to justify the cost, also when I'm doing something like this, I want to do it right. What I'm basically asking is is there someone who can give me a good comparison of stills and video and point out the difference. Watching YouTube videos isn't fair because of the heavy compression.
I hope you can help me with this decision, and that I'm not boring you with another 'help my make a decision topic'.
Regards,
Tim
