Hi I need some help I want to make film footage with a drone and I think I would want a FPV drone but I just don't know where to go and how to start.
Some background what I want to make, I want to make quality footage and 1 shot scenes by the help of a drone this is mostly in an urban area but also landscapes I just need an all-round film drone but I just have no idea where or how to start.

What type of shots are you aiming for as this sounds more like a camera drone use case

#

And what’s your budget?

wise vortex
#

budget is between the 600 to a 1000 if that is a fair budget for good quality

#

lower is always nice

Do you have a GoPro by any chance
