1. Syma X5C – Great for beginners
At a comfortable price of USD$55.99 (Walmart), this drone is perfectly wallet-friendly and has all the functions you need from a basic image-capturing drone. It comes with a 720p HD camera and flies with decent precision. Which is great if you overlook the short flying time of seven to 10 minutes.
2. Parrot BEBOP – All-rounder performer
Lightweight yet sturdy, this USD$399.99 (Parrot) flying contraption can take to the skies and take all your stills and videos. All while you operate it using your Apple or Android device. Parrot comes in striking red or blue so you won’t miss it against the white skies.
3. GoPro Karma – Big name, bigger features
You are already familiar with the compatibility and functionality of GoPro. Now, expect the same from their drone series, which comes with an in-built camera for USD$399.99 (bestbuy). Add their iconic GoPro Black for a total price of USD$1099.99. Pricey, but you get the assurance of durability packed in a lightweight machine.
4. HEXO+ 3D – Handsfree control
Control this drone USD$1290 (hexoplus) via the app and it’ll track your movement wherever you go. Almost like your very own paparazzi. Think of it as a selfie equivalent for drone technology. It flies up to 70km/h, perfect for speed junkies to relieve their moments of adventure.
5. DJI Phantom 4 – What you pay is what you get
If you are serious about getting a good drone that does its job, then this USD$1199 (DJI) drone will do the trick. Equipped with precision hovering and an Obstacle Sensing System, this drone will be able to avoid deadly collision while capturing high quality shots. However, you do need a tablet to operate this drone.
6. Freefly Alta 8 – The Lamborghini of drones
Now this is the drone of all drones. The heft price tag of USD$17,495 (freefly) (yes, you read that price right) means you’re in for serious business. It looks like it flew right out of a sci-fi movie, and is capable of shooting crisp sharp visuals with ease. Most of us can’t afford but it sure doesn’t hurt to look and admire.
