The same rules apply as for the previous question about 8K footage, if you are just capturing aerial clips to add to your social media post, 1080p might just be good enough. However, ignoring the resolution topic, we are seeing far superior camera setups with 4K cameras than the available 1080p drones. These are larger sensors that do a better job at capturing light, and have larger lenses attached, for clearer images. The industry at large is investing heavily on producing great 4K drones, where 1080p machines, and even 8K drones, are not their mainstream efforts. So, yes, 4K drones really are that much better.
