Just remember: however good the price, it doesn’t include flying skills.
DJI Mavic Pro
A real marvel of miniaturisation, the Mavic is the ultimate hobbyist drone. It’s not stable enough for video pros, but still takes fantastic footage and is smart enough not to crash while you’re concentrating on the camera.
Features:
- Both drone and controller are incredibly compact and portable
- All the advanced features you’d expect from a bigger drone
- Great photo and video quality
Yuneec Typhoon H
Another fantastic camera drone hits the market – albeit one that’s held slightly back by its snail-liking charging times
Features:
- Stable in windy conditions
- Good quality footage and photos
- Supports dual-operator controls
- Retractable landing gear
Parrot Bebop 2
The price is right, but camera quality and connection troubles mean it doesn’t quite hit the sweet spot.
Features:
- Great price
- Small, light and easy to transport
- Battery life is decent
GoPro Karma
A simple, all-in-one drone system for GoPro fans, but it’s still very much flying in DJI’s slipstream
Features:
- A complete package in a slim backpack
- Handy Karma Grip accessory
- Simple flight controls
- Good build quality
