Hi guys
First off, thank you for accepting me. Lukasz here, typing from Belgium.
I've been flying DJI Mavic drones for some time for leisure and the photo/video experience. I have never done FPV freestyle though. The topic fascinates me. I would like to get a drone that can do videos the kind of which you can see when you type: "viking valley fall" on youtube. I believe this is called freestyle cinematic but the exact nomenclature escapes me, so bear with me. Now, I understand there is a learning curve, I know about simulators and I wanna put the hours in. Maybe join some community in my area to get better. But first I would like to ask you for advice on choosing the gear. Not being a big DIY guy, I would like to ask for some recommendations on ready to fly drones, something I can take out of the box and fly it. Preferably one that could also carry a GoPro Hero 8 or a similar payload. So here goes:
1. Which drone should I choose so it's ready to strap on a GoPro and fly? I have a comfortable budget (well, not into thousands and thousands of $$$...) but I understand most of them are cheaper than Mavics anyway.
2. Would the DJI fpv system be better for the fpv camera or the analog system (that would be cool for me because I could use the DJI Racing Edition Goggles, which work for the Mavic too)?
3. Are there any other considerations I should think about (number of rotors, their size etc.)? I want to execute scenic flights in the wilderness, maybe graduate to navigate some tight spaces indoors and in urban exploration later on.
I'm sure the third question is super broad, but I will appreciate greatly if you give me some hints!
