Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones?
CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day agoI’ve been to weddings where they use it instead of the fisheye and ladder approach to capture large groups. They’re also used for videography at the weddings. But to your point, they’re extra.
Yeah, don’t get me wrong, they’re a great bit of kit for certain purposes. There are some shots that are easily 50% simpler to get having a drone.
But those specific instances are still so far between that unless your photo business is built around selling those shots to people, its just an unnecessary extravagance.
I don’t even know what a drone with a good camera would cost, or do they just mount a mirrorless. Either way, out of my price range! My D7000 works fine thank you.
All drone cameras are good in daylight. It’s mostly when you need a telephoto lens or better low-light performance that you need to be investings upwards of $1500 on it. Otherwise a $300 mini drone will do just fine.

They are huge in real estate photography.
