Amateur photography drone

[sidekickdmr]

I have a building, and woodland that is very hard to photograph from the ground, I have had the local drone production company do us some pro footage, but I would like to grab a decent snap of a lovely sunny evening, or when it snows for example, to use on our social media and website.

Therefore I'm thinking about a decent, but not silly expensive drone to take mostly stills, but perhaps some video too.

So I'm looking at the DJI Spark, or the parrot Bebop, are they ok, one better than the other?

Any others to consider?

Bearing in mind that I'm brand new to this, and ease of editing footage is as key as ease of flight.

Thanks

Spark doesn't take RAW photos, so more difficult to edit. Drone camera IQ isn't that great so they need work. Second hand DJI 3 Pro for the same price (or much less).

Most of these taken with 3 pro: http://stevecarter.com/random/Aerial.htm

ETA, If you Spark, make sure you get controller. Flying with fingers and a phone is vague to say the least. (I had one and sold it).

For the same budget as a new Spark, I'd be tempted by a used Mavic Pro. Plenty for sale just now as people are upgrading to the Pro 2
