Any recommendations on a drone?

Just looking for something to use around our property and film my dog training.

3DR Solo is what I use for fishing. It handles perfect in strong wind and can carry a decent payload. I think you will be very pleased with it.

I have a DJI Phantom 3 and it has great videos.

Autel EVO or EVO II. Lots of options, but depends on budget.

having a drone is a pretty big hobby. You might already know but it does take up keep.

Sounds like the MQ-9 Reaper would be perfect...

Think I could find a good one used?

Thoughts on this deal?

Does not have a monitor on the controller.

What camera do you have? When I searched, it looked like you had to add your own camera.

You use your phone or IPad

I have the Spark, which they stopped making and replaced with this - https://www.dji.com/mavic-mini?site=brandsite&from=nav

It does everything I need it to do and packs in a small case. On my third DJI drone, so have some experience with them.

Probably. Might have a few bullet holes in it

You do need to add your own camera, like a GoPro.

Be careful when buying a drone off ebay as people have been taken especially on drones.

I use a Mavic for ranch inspections and love it.

The spark is a nice drone as it is much more compact than my Phantom 3 but it depends if you need a compact drone or not. Ask J.P. questions and i'm sure he will be glad to answer.Look online and you can find factory refurbished phantom drones in the $550. $600. range.

A lot of roofers are using drones and real estate agencies use them to photograph properties now days.

Thanks guys..

I think I have it narrowed down to the Mavic pro or the Phantom 4.

BradyBuck I just made the purchase today for the Mavic Pro 2. It is the minimum drone I could get for my intended purpose for what i was willing to afford. I did not buy the smart controller after watching the reviews, I'll use my cell or ipad instead.

I purchased from Adorama. Same price as DJI but you get a carry bag and free shipping.

You will not go wrong with DJI. If you are wanting to fly you’re property you will want something with good range, stability and flight time.
I have a DJI Mini 2 with the flight pack and love it. I use it to fly the property as well and check on feeders and such. I get about 27 min flight times on a battery.
A friend has the Mavic Air 2 and loves it. The Mavic series also has options for obstacle avoidance which might be helpful with filming the dogs.

I would go Mavic Pro.
