Best 4K Travel Drone for Cinematic Shots?

Hi everyone,

I am new to drones and just starting my research, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the choices out there.

I love to travel and want to capture some B-roll cinematic shots with a drone. I’m trying to find a balance between size/weight (I really don’t want to dedicate a checked bag just for the drone), features, and battery life (I’m thinking 20-30 minute flights should be enough, but I could be wrong). Price is also a consideration, but it’s less of a priority.

I have had recommendations for the DJI Mini 3 Pro and the DJI Air 2S, but I’m still not sure which one to choose there are so many options! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m looking to capture cinematic b-roll shots, like down a beach, around a resort, or along a trail.

DJI mini series. Compared to the larger ones, the Mini, Mini 2, and Mini 3 are easier to transport and, depending on local laws, can be flown with less paperwork because of their small size

Thanks, that’s what I was starting to lean to. But then I am overwhelmed by the various bundles, haha. I assume more batteries, and a dedicated screen (versus phone hook-up), but then there are extra props, a safety thing for the props, etc. Not sure what’s gimmicky versus needed.

The DJI Mavic Air 2 is a top choice for cinematic 4K travel shots. It offers excellent camera quality, stability, and a range of intelligent shooting modes.
