For a drone able to carry gimbal + MILC + acceptable lens along with fpv and so on I estimated around $2000 if you build some parts yourself _and already have the camera setup_

there's plenty of low cost drones or quadcopters with cheap cameras on but the footage is never that great

like I said, one friend bought a chinese gopro (I don't remember what brand, not xiaomi), and some shitass drone. must have been less than 150-200$ combined

he could connect to the camera from his phone over wifi or something

I have professional standards though

he didn't <:radthonk:318079469376110597>

that type of setup could work for me but i dont know any brands

can you tell the difference between chinkpro and gopro

@Leonardo08TR (Yusuf) he bought everything over aliexpress, if that helps

thing people don't realize about just... Things

after a certain scale manufacturing is suuuper cheap

@Dom with gopro, you pay several hundred dollars so all the factory workers can buy a house and car

a warranty mostly

gotta support their hard work

like, i've been selling keychains lately, for $2, you know how much they cost me to make?

15 cents a piece

and only so much because i make em on a really small scale

that's including the time i spend designing them broken down into the cost

@Leonardo08TR (Yusuf) there's plenty of sites covering chink drones and chink action cameras, just look around

if i don't put a value on my time they cost me a couple pennies a pop to make

Hawkeye Firefly 7s is a good cheap chinkpro

webms of footage of the 6s here, the 7s is the same but with a viewfinder

looks great

i wouldn't be able to tell the difference

6s might be better for flying with a drone since less weight

<:thonk:288060975775612929>

a friend of mine bought a dji for 1k

really made me thonk

it broke on his first day due to a plastic part

<:thvnk:332928260004642827> that's exactly why you should buy a cheap chinky one first

learn how to fly it and if it breaks it's not that big a deal
