Here are my thoughts and actions..
I bought a Visuo Xs809 that I wanted to use as a trainer drone before buying a Breeze 4K. From there I wanted to move to a Typhoon because of the resolution. This was the recommendation given to me in the Breeze forum(buy something cheap to learn how to fly without the bells and whistles) and it sounded reasonable being new to drones. The first problem with this advice I see is this please correct me if I am wrong. Decent drones have the bells and whistles that stabilize the drone and make the learning curve shorter. I do not want to race but I want to ultimately use drones on an organic farm for inspection and spraying of crops, Checking the perimeter of the property (90 acres) and things like that. The Visuo is a toy and I understand that but it was hard to control (could never get it to hover properly using trim). If I bought the Breeze also that is a total of $200 invested that I could add another $300 to and buy a factory reconditioned Typhoon H with a CGO3+ camera. being a 6 prop machine with bells and whistles it would seem to be more stable which would lower the learning curve and be a more direct move toward an 8 prop agricultural workhorse unit that would be more similar in characteristics.
In my mind there is a relativity issue as well as a learning curve. I am not doing this for play, but to increase efficiency. I feel the basic operating skills needed for a hobbyist VS agriculture business is different. Also the modularity of the Typhoon H is attractive.
PLEASE!!! shoot holes in my thought process because I may have a blind side. THANK YOU!
