For practice and budget-friendly options, the DJI Mini 2 is a great choice, especially when paired with DroneLink. While it may not produce top-tier maps, it provides an opportunity to gain experience at a reasonable price point (around $300 to $400 used).
If you're ready to create high-quality maps and models, consider the Mavic Air 2S, equipped with a one-inch sensor for increased accuracy and map quality. This is the ideal starting point for taking on client projects or assisting your employer.
For those looking to take mapping to the next level, explore options like the Mavic 3 Enterprise with RTK, featuring a larger sensor and mechanical shutter. More advanced options, such as the P1 camera with substantial sensors, are available for detailed surveying and complex tasks.
