Aerial photography for weddings is getting more and more popular. We spent hours researching what would be the best flying camera drone that could get high up in the air and take beautiful photos and videos of your special day.
10 Best Selling Flying Camera Drone for Wedding
Our pick for the best drone with camera for weddings is DJI Phantom 4 Quadcopter.
DJI Phantom 4 is the one of the best in the series of drones released by DJI and offers unparalleled features and performance.
Main Features of DJI Phantom 4
Lets take a look at why this drone is the perfect cameraman for your special day.
Quick Double Tap to Fly
Flying Phantom 4 could not be easier. Whether you are a beginner drone pilot or have been around the block, to fly Phantom 4, all you need to do is just double tap. The Obstacle Sensing Technology steers the drone clear off any obstacles in the way. Want to bring the drone back? Just give it another tap and the Smart Return Home technology brings it right back to you.
Hovering with Precision
Phantom 4 comes equipped with advanced stereo Vision Positioning System (VPS) that allows it to pause exactly where you want it when flying and hover with exact precision. If the hovering position is somehow disturbed, lets say by a gust of wind, Phantom 4’s advanced brain is capable enough to return back to its original hovering point.
Visual Tracking
Like a magician, you can tap a moving subject and Phantom 4 will begin tracking it. The ActiveTrack technology makes tracking and following a subject effortless. You can even direct the Phantom 4 to circle around your subject while they are moving – such that you get great footage from every angle.
Extra Flight Time
Phantom 4 gives you a full 28 minutes of flight time – 25% more than the already awesome Phantom 3. That is quite impressive considering what it can get done in those 28 minutes. This extended flight time is made possible by several improvements, including a streamlined body, advanced propulsion system and a larger battery. You also get to enjoy a full 3.1mi (5km) of range and a live 720p HD view of everything the camera sees.
Sport Mode
While the sport mode does not sound that it’s applicable to wedding videos, it couldn’t be further from the truth. This new feature available in DJI Phantom 4 gives it agility, speed and flight control like never before. Switching flight modes is easier than ever to meet your needs, whether you are looking for simple navigation and speed or smooth cinematic movements. You have better control over exactly how you want your videos to turn out in new ways previous quite a difficult feat.
The easy-to-use app makes the flying process smooth and easily manageable. Auto-Takeoff and Auto-Return home technology gives you a peace of mind and a worry-free flying experience.
When you need that smooth wedding video captured from the air as the Phantom 4 hovers, the Gimbal stabilization technology makes sure your aerial video is smooth, clean footage. The camera can capture 4K ultra HD video at 30 fps. You can get 12 mp photos at a resolution of 4,000 x 3,000 pixels.
When you have filmed tons of videos from every possible angle at the wedding, the companion DJI director software with a built-in video editor lets you easily organize and manage your footage. You can add music, text and other effects to make it look professional.
