It’s not as fast in the sky as some units I’ve seen on professional productions.
#BEST DRONE WITH CAMERA FOR AMATEUR FILMER PRO#
The Chroma, though less than a grand in price, leans more toward the pro end. I have used cheaper “hobby” drones as well as $5,000 professional units. Not only is this fun, but the realtime video feed allows a filmer to know what he or she is recording as the drone flies. The Chroma comes with a touchscreen-equipped remote control that lets you see from the drone’s point-of-view, including up to hundreds of feet in the sky. Its camera is mounted on a gimble that provides hard-to-believe steady shooting. Made by Horizon Hobby, a longtime player in the radio-control space, the Chroma comes as a kit with everything you need to make aerial films.
Review: CHROMA With Stabilized CGO3 4K Camera
#BEST DRONE WITH CAMERA FOR AMATEUR FILMER FULL#
It’s easy to operate, safe, stable in the air, and it gathers stunning footage in 4K resolution as it flies.įor dedicated amateurs and burgeoning pros, the Chroma - full name: CHROMA with Stabilized CGO3 4K Camera - is a solid buy. The drone’s sensors and GPS processors hummed to life, the unit hovering, then its lights aglow tracking the man on the snow machine as he motored through an open field. One day, I set the unit to a “follow mode” and had a friend take off on a snowmobile. It’s sailed in clouds, maneuvered through trees and chairlift towers, and boosted hundreds of feet into the air at the push of a joystick, all while capturing HD video and still photos along its elevated way. My camera, flying at 300 feet from a hill over town, captures the last rays of a January day from a vantage heretofore reserved for helicopters and planes.įor the past two months, I have put the Chroma Camera Drone through a litany of airborne paces for a full review. The sun is setting over Duluth, Minn., where the world’s largest lake fades from the cityscape to a horizon in the north. The world has changed for pro and amateur videographers alike, with the whirring blades of a drone signifying a new era where photos and film are not limited to a terrestrial view.
