Ne1 own a drone?
« on: Thu, 09 July 2026, 16:16:13 »
Tp4 needs to get one.

What's the best entry lvl, with good enough camera to be "useful."

Alrite, it's either, the potensic atom 3,   OR  the dji mini 5 pro.

Now, Tp4 is pretty gud with spatial awareness, don't think he'd need object avoidance per-se,  buhhh, if Tp4 crashes 1 drone, that's $500, and if had to buy another drone, that's the same price as the DJI with object avoidance.


SO..... It kindaaaa makes sense to get the mini 5 pro?

Dji software seems also of course more mature.

Thoughts.. $680 vs $1150.?? The big bundle price with batteries.

The top one is surely more handsome and advanced looking.

It seems to me that quieter would be much better.
