Good starter drone for video?

[GrantB]

Hey, so im just curious what drone should i get on a tight budget if i want to get into aerial video, i do have experience flying drones but not with video etc. also a gps flight controller would be nice.
Thanks!

What is a tight budget for Drones? You might look for something like the Phantom 3 Standard would be a good start or if you have a gopro or willing to get our own gopro, a Blade Chroma with no camera can be had at a reasonable price I would think.

thank you, i was also looking at a 3dr iris +, would that be good or would the blade be better?

I am not familiar with the Iris, but with 3DR you will probably have more room to grow. The blade may or may not be simpler to get up off the ground and flying, Horizon is usually pretty good at that in my opinion. 3DR's autopilot is a favorite among many people here I believe though I have not used it.

3DR is pretty much out of business, so I wouldn't suggest getting started with any of their products.

Do you want to do their professionally or just as a hobby?

The 3dr iris is hardly a starter quad, though with GPS it could be easyish to fly.
