How noisy is it?I've toyed with the idea of one for a while, but have been put off by the "nuisance factor" for other people.
It's actually not that noisy. Whereas the Mavic2 sounds like an angry bumble bee, this is more like an irritating fly
. As for "nuisance factor" I've generally found that as long as you're not being irresponsible with it, people are more inquisitive than offended by the drone.

Originally posted by mattb123 I'm also considering one. I do some real estate photos and more and more people want drone shots.
The annoyance factor is also on my mind so I'd also try to be considerate.
Around here, birds of prey will also attack drones so there is that to worry about too.
I'm looking at the Phantom Pro 2 to get RAW capabilities.
The Mavic2 Pro has a 20 meg Hasselblad camera, with RAW capability, and all the functionality you could desire. It also packs up into a handy hard case, or even just a cross body bag.
I've found that birds of prey are inquisitive, but wary. They will come look, but steer shy or the rotors.
As for annoyance to people, I think it's important to get the landholders permission to fly, and to be aware or other folks around. As long as you don't appear to be spying on them, most people are quite tolerant.

To me they all look pretty much the same.

I agree with you completely... nothing as boring an all the slo'mo' "lookit mee" videos
. My motivation for getting it was purely to get higher elevations, or to place the camera somewhere that I couldn't get to.
