One of the most significant filmmaking innovations of the past decade has been the explosion of affordable drones with high-quality cameras. This has made it possible for nearly anyone to capture stunning aerial photos and video. The explosion in drones has been seen nearly everywhere, with YouTube videos sporting awesome shots from the sky and your everyday television and journalism now benefitting from a bird’s-eye view. Here are seven that we think are great picks for capturing video.
DJI Mavic 2 Pro
The best consumer drone for filmmaking. Period. Relatively speaking, the Mavic 2 Pro is quite affordable, considering its feature set—and it is spectacular. Having taken it for a spin in Iceland, I can speak to its quality, namely brought about by the use of a 20MP 1"-type image sensor that is notably larger than many competitors’, and a quality Hasselblad lens. What puts this ahead of many other options is the superb implementation of Dlog-M and HLG HDR for high dynamic range recording and 10-bit support. This provides footage that is suitable for high-end grading and editing applications. This footage should fit in nicely with cinema cameras. It’s also a very good, compact drone. It can hit 44 mph, fly for 31 minutes, benefits from OcuSync 2.0 with a 5-mile range, and has ActiveTrack 2.0. It is a complete package.
