New Build Advice DJI S900

[Ainglis4243]

Alright so I am looking to buy the DJI s900. Along with that I was going to get the A2 flight controller and pair that with the Zenmuse Z15-GH4. That requires me to get the Panasonic GH-3 or GH-4. Also along with all of that I want to get the Spektrum DX9 for the main flight controls and a 6i for the gimbal operation.

Does anyone see anything wrong with any of that or have any better advice? This will be used for aerial filming and photography.

Thanks,
Austin

Nice! I would definitely go with the gh4 to make it worth it if you do end up picking one up.

Have you considered the inspire? I think most are changing over to the inspire these days since it is easier to get in the air, and get good results. I just wish the lenses were cheaper.

Not mine, but this will show you what different lenses look like on one.

Well me and two friends are starting a business doing aerial photography and cinematography and we're looking for the best quality we can get. We have $10,000 to spend on our first one. What's your recommendations?

Sounds like a great idea

Three man team sounds like the perfect number to start with too. Pilot, camera op, and sighter.

Tough decision on the equipment, but I personally would probably go with a dual remote Inspire x5r setup if I had 10k to invest. The x5r shoots raw video which can be fully graded if the client requests. You guys will need a powerful computer, with software too to be able to process the files on request.

The s1000/s900 with a gh4 would be my second choice.
