We continue to be impressed by the quality out of the DJI Phantom 4. The following video is a good example. Also note that we see a lot of drones for sale on the used boards, so try and test out or rent a drone if you can before you’re sure it’s something you want to invest in.

DJI Zenmuse X5 With Olympus Lenses
The DJI Zenmuse X5 video camera and 3 Axis Gimbal with 15mm lens sells for $2,199. Compared to what an equivalent system would cost just a few years ago, this is a reasonable price. There are cheaper systems available. We are awaiting reviews on some of the lesser known Chinese brands to see whether they are a value or a bust.
Panasonic GH4 + Drones = A Good Thing
Well a drone set up can be an expensive investment the results can be breathtaking and add a new dimension to your work. We like the GH4 for its light weight and sharp video with a good depth of field which makes it well suited for drone use.
