drone for photography

Well, it turns out that there may not be as much of a problem as I was expecting. First off...yes, we know we need the Part 107 license. Four of us (and soon to be one more) have already taken a few classes at the local community college to prep us for the test. We've also participated in webinars, taken sample tests online, and have been watching prep videos on YouTube. We'll be taking the test for real within the next few weeks. Just so I could get a better idea of what our boss was expecting, I had one of the still photography folks send me some samples of the aerial photos they had purchased recently. A check of the properties of the pics showed they had been taken with a Mavic Pro 2 with the Hasselblad camera. So it looks like the drone we're wanting will do what the still photo folks need, too. Now we just have to convince our boss that something that small can give big results. lol

Thanks. What I'm finding is pretty much what you're saying. If we want high-quality photography from a drone, it's going to be expensive.

Is anyone using a drone for high quality photography? My company recently spent a small fortune on aerial photography. Now my boss is under the impression that she can save a lot of money by buying a drone and doing the photography ourselves. We already have a DJI Phantom II that uses a GoPro 3, but I don't think that's what she has in mind. She's wanting shots that can be used on the cover of a glossy magazine...or in full page ads...covers of brochures...that kind of thing. Part of the problem is that she keeps asking the opinion of videographers...not photographers. Video guys (my co-workers and me, included) like the DJI Mavic Pro 2. It's perfect for what we're wanting to do video-wise, but I'm not sure how it'll do with still photography. Anybody got experience in this area?
