Drones under $2,000 are for professionals or anyone who wants a really good drone so today i'm going
to reveal my top choices for drones in this price range if you're looking for drones under
a thousand dollars or 500 i made a video about that up there so back to drones under two thousand
dollars today i'm going to give you my top three choices along with one we may see soon now keep
in mind that there are a few accessories that you'll likely need when flying your drone so keep
that in mind for your overall budget also keep in mind that prices of drones are likely to change
over time so click the links below for the most up-to-date prices alright so let's get into it
this category is professional drones no doubt about it from a thousand dollars to
two thousand dollars let's start with my overall favorite drone the one i fly the most and my
recommendation in this category the dji mavic 2 pro sure it only shoots 4k up to 30 frames per
second but personally i find that this drone is so stable and gets such smooth footage and when
you're filming with the drone it's so far from the objects that you're filming that you don't really
need the 60 frames per second 30 frames per second or 24 frames per second is plenty therefore this
isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be it flies up to 31 minutes and has a really impressive
five mile maximum range it also has a hasselblad camera with a one inch sensor with a 28 millimeter
lens and it has the ability to shoot in 10 bit log video as well for those professionals wanting to
color grade active track is much improved and has some cool new features like hyperlapse boomerang
and asteroid mode as you can tell i highly recommend this drone now in a close second to the
mavic 2 pro is a dji phantom 4 pro version 2. now one thing to consider is this drone is much bigger
and less portable than the dji mavic 2 pro which is why i chose it second however a bigger drone
like this often looks more impressive for clients and may be the drone that you want it does have
an advantage of shooting 4k up to 60 frames per second and also shoots in d cine-like mode which
to me looks slightly better than the footage from the mavic 2 pro however i'm just splitting hairs
here if you're a pixel peeper and you need the best drone for under two thousand dollars this
is the drone it also includes obstacle avoidance on four sides and is slightly faster than the
mavic 2 pro but only ever so slightly now with that said personally flying both of these drones
a lot i find the mavic 2 pro slightly easier than the phantom 4 pro because the phantom 4 pro drifts
ever so slightly and it's just it's just a little harder to control than the mavic 2 pro so keep
that in mind so for that reason as well i have to recommend this drone as second in this price
category now last up is the autel evo 2 drones the evo 2 is definitely one of the top two consumer
foldable drones in the market so there are three different autel evo 2 drones but they all have
the same body the only thing different are the cameras and best of all they are interchangeable
so you can buy each camera by itself and swap it out which is great for consumers professionals
and enterprise solutions such as inspections and search and rescue and many more uses so when i
mention the different evo 2 drones i'm essentially just talking about the camera and not the drone
body the evo 2 drones are the evo 2 the evo 2 pro and the evo 2 dual so they will all fly for
up to 40 minutes which in reality will be about 35 minutes they have the ability to shoot native
10 bit 8k and 6k video with a processor able to handle those big resolutions the evo 2 has 12
obstacle avoiding sensors which makes it similar to the first skydio drone the skydio r1 they call
it omnidirectional which basically is true 360 obstacle avoidance where the mavic 2 has some
blind spots that don't make a true 360 degrees also the obstacle avoiding sensors on the left
side and the right side of the mavic 2 only work in active track and quick shot modes so the evo2
will be better at avoiding obstacles as it always uses all of its sensors even with its active track
which autel calls dynamic track 2.0 out of the box the evo 2 has less contrast than the mavic 2
but in the app you can adjust that of course or in post production however because the evo 2 shoots
8k and evo 2 pro shoots 6k you can crop into the shot and it will still have good resolution this
is perhaps its biggest advantage over the mavic 2 pro now i think i was a little disappointed about
i wish the evo 2 was smaller but it's understandable considering it needed a
bigger more powerful battery for longer flight time along with enough space to process that 6k
and x8k camera without overheating so it'd be nice if it were a little smaller but having a foldable
8k and 6k drone is something i'm super pumped up about the amazing thing that autel has done
with the evo 2 which i've been saying for years is the fact that you can buy the camera gimbal
alone by itself and swap the 8k version for the 6k camera with the bigger sensor so being able to buy
any of the three camera gimbals by themselves is great because you can have one drone and multiple
cameras thus saving you a lot of space in your camera drone bag with all that said i would still
choose the mavic 2 pro over the evo 2 pro because of the image color and contrast look better to me
right out of the mavic 2 pro camera whereas i'm not as thrilled with the evo 2 colors so for
someone who doesn't want to spend time adjusting the colors in post-production the mavic 2 pro will
be better and like i said earlier the mavic 2 pro is the easiest drone to fly in this price category
buy a slim margin therefore i wouldn't hesitate to recommend the mavic 2 pro now by the time you're
watching this video dji may release its fpv drone which should be in this price category having
an fpv drone will enable drone pilots to get shots they normally wouldn't be able to capture
and flying fpv will make you a better drone pilot so i think this could be a great drone to have in
your drone lineup maybe not as your primary drone but one you could use for commercial and business
purposes for certain types of creative shots now speaking of becoming a better drone pilot
i made a free 30 minute video that reveals a lot of my best tips and secrets for making you
a better drone pilot i packed that video with helpful info for both beginners and experienced
drone pilots so you can watch that video now by clicking right up there or underneath this video
