    Hey guys,

    I'm a property developer and I want to take some cool shots/footage of a project i'm working on. I want the drone to be able to circle the house (locked on if possible) and to give it a full 360 picture. As it's just this one time, I wasn't planning on buying a drone. I looked on google, found a few places where you can rent some. Settle on this website - these are currently the options available to me.

    Does this sound something realistic? Are there drones that can do this kind of thing? What is the best one?

    All feedback will be much appreciated. Thanks a million!

    Rob

    Very easy to run a mission like this, there is a points of interest tab already in the Phantom 3 & 4;s that will have you doing this in 5 minutes.
    Buy the Phatom 3 advanced, or the Phantom 4 & included in the flying app, DJI Go app, there are 4 programs like - Point of interest- Phantom will circle any point of interest you focus on- waypoints -Program up to 99 points the bird will fly to all of them, label one of em as a POI, phantom will shoot it for oyu, single shots or video.
    You be looking like a seasoned flyer in no time, You first drone? Read the manual about 10 x, find a big field & familiarize your self with the controls before trying anything?
    OR, buy a 65 bucks Syma XC5 & fly it until its destroyed, the Syma will take a hit & still fly, if you loose it its only 60-70 bucks, The controls of the Syma are the same to fly the big Phantoms
    Good luck & go fly!!

    Hello, i agree with royster. I see with my own eyes, some government agency used Phantom 3 so as to do the mapping stuff or something like to check out the work being done or not for certain areas. You can just pin point the route via the maps (included on the apps) then let the drones do the job and you can sit down and relax :)
