    Hi,

    I am a college student, new to drones, am currently studying for certification, and confess that I don't know much tech jargon needed to make online shopping effective. Perhaps I can share with you what I am looking to do with a drone and hopefully you can advise me on either what terms to use or even suggest some specific models.

    -about $200 budget
    -need to be able to take photos of what lies directly beneath the drone, not "first person"/what lies in front of the drone
    -more interested in stability than speed
    -hopefully something more sturdy and won't fall apart easily or require building
    -need to take high enough resolution to capture vegetation (and not green blurs) growth patterns around archaeological features (e.g. foundations, corrals, privies, logcabins, skid roads, etc) from about 30-100 ft off the ground
    -need to be able to have the photo's format compatible with a Macbook Pro

    Daniel
