I am interested in getting a drone to film landscapes that I visit when I travel. Anyone have one they recommend?

do you have budget or size requirements?

DJI drones are pretty much top of the mark for most folks

Mavic 2 Pro if you want great video quality. 1 inch sensor and good flight time.

Or Mavic Air with smaller sensor is okay too. Real world flight time is like 15 minutes per battery which is not very good.

If you don't need 4k, Mavic Mini is a great drone.

This always sounds good to me after watching YouTube videos but then you get home with all that unedited footage and it's a real bear.

That's my experience with action cameras anyway.

Editing photos is much easier. I think it's because my laptops aren't built to handle video editing at all.

I have a DJI Phantom 4. I haven't flown any other drones though.

I have the Mavic Pro and have been extremely pleased.

The General Atomics MQ-1 Predator is a personal favorite of mine. Precision aerial imaging from miles away and you don’t need line of sight to control it. Also has quite a range on it at around 24 hours.

I like the DJI Phantom series as well.

The DJI Mini or Parrot Anafi are good.
The Anafi has a 4k camera and can recharge via USB as opposed to using a separate charger.
