Product Information

The DJI Air 2S has a camera with an oversized Type 1 (also called 1-inch) sensor for much better 20MP stills than you can get from the DJI Mini series drones. It supports 5.4K30 and 4K60 video with HDR, flat, or standard profiles, plus it can snap photos in Raw or JPG format. DJI's strong safety features are here too, including GPS location, obstacle sensors, ADS-B to warn you of nearby manned aircraft, and a 30-minute battery. Who It's For For many years, DJI has been the standout brand for drones with cameras. And while that continues to be the case, the Chinese company has come under fire in recent times – both from increased competition and run-ins with the US government. This hasn’t changed our opinion of whether or not you should buy a DJI drone (as you can read above), but it is good to finally see some healthy competition in the drone space. Even if you have no good reason to justify buying one, you have to admit that drones are cool. Some are glorified tech toys, but the models we highlight here are fit for imaging and cinematic applications both small and large. If you think you can use a flying camera in your next project, there's some good news—the tech has come a long way in a very short time. Some models on the market now put earlier copters to shame in terms of video quality and stabilization. Vision positioning requires non-reflective, discernable surfaces, and adequate lighting. Available at altitudes from 0.5-30 m. The vertical and horizontal positioning accuracy is within ±0.1 m.

You want to fly in the wind: Due to its low weight, the Tello doesn’t deal with anything more than a slight breeze.You don’t get the 1TB SSD or Apple ProRes recording of the Cine edition, but we think its ability to capture 5.1K video in Normal, HLG and 10-bit profiles will be plenty for most videographers. And thanks to the larger sensor, noise handling is fantastic across the full ISO range. The Ryze Tello is fundamentally an enjoyable drone to fly on a calm day, zipping along at a rapid chop and reacting nimbly to intuitive inputs. The limited range is somewhat restrictive but, provided you don’t mind choppy video, it’s nevertheless the best starter drone around. Our review found image quality from the nose-mounted 5MP camera to be less impressive, with limited dynamic range and noticeable compression artifacts when streaming 720p HD video. Because video is beamed directly to your smartphone, the frame rate is affected by any drop in connection strength. There are a few other brands you can explore. The Autel Robotics Evo drone family is a good alternative. Autel is also a Chinese firm, but the US government hasn't singled it out in the same manner as DJI. Its Evo Nano series competes with DJI Mini drones, and larger Evo Lite drones match up with DJI Air models in size and capabilities. You pay a bit more for Autel on average and its drones aren't quite as finely polished, but the company's models have proven capable in testing. DJI Mini 4 Pro (Credit: Jim Fisher)

Some stores still sell the Mavic Air 2, but it's not worth it when the Air 2S is such a step up for not much more money. You’re on a tight budget: As one of the most expensive consumer drones on the market, the Mavic 3 Pro is a premium option. We don't focus on racing, industrial, or agricultural aircraft here—our coverage is squarely on imaging and video. The drones we review are ready-to-fly models, so you can use them right out of the box. Of course, not every small drone is a top flyer. Some are barely capable of getting off the ground and require you to use your smartphone as a remote control, which makes for a sloppy flying experience. Make sure you get one with a real remote. Autel Evo Lite+ (Credit: Jim Fisher) In our review, we found that the Mini 3 Pro’s 12.1MP 1/1.3-inch sensor produced excellent image quality. We also encountered very little noise even at the maximum ISO 6400, while the combination of a bright f/1.7 lens and dual native ISO tech gives the Mini 3 Pro impressive low-light performance.DJI offers Matrice drones for industry and enterprise, as well as Agras drones for agriculture. As mentioned earlier, Sony's Airpeak S1 can carry big cameras but is closer to the Inspire series in size, so it's just as good for location work. You already own a DJI Mavic Air 2: It has a larger sensor and portrait mode, but the Mini 3 Pro isn’t a huge upgrade over the Air 2.

If your drone exceeds 250g in weight, you will also require a Flyer ID. To obtain this, you need to pass an online test featuring 40 multiple-choice questions. The answers can be found in the Drone Code and are intended to promote safer flying practices.

As the game was designed for children and families it didn’t really surprise me that Drone Home is quite simple to play. The basic premise of the game is to get all three of your aliens home before the other players can. In each round all of the players race to be the first to get their alien on the drone. To do this you press down on the button with enough pressure to launch the alien down the ramp on a straight enough path with the right amount of power that it reaches the center without going too far. This seems kind of simple and in some ways it is. Basically to succeed in the game you need to find the right amount of pressure to apply to the button. Apply too little and the alien won’t make it to the drone. Apply too much though and it won’t stop when it reaches the drone and it will fall out the other side. DJI recently upgraded its long-running Inspire 2 with a new airframe and camera. The Inspire 3 is now its big, quad-rotor model for cinema production. The drone features a full-frame, 8K camera that can take DJI or Sony lenses and supports CinemaDNG and ProRes Raw recording. Its bottom-mounted camera and retractable landing gear are also advantages because they enable more complex camera and aircraft movements compared with drones that have nose-mounted cameras. Video quality is important to you: The choppy, compressed 720p videos are one of the Tello’s weakest points. It stills photos are slightly better though. The charity is proud to announce our first female drone operator who is currently trained to fly. Ladies make up only 4% of drone operators in the UK and Drone To Home aim to change that. You plan to fly in built-up areas: Because it weighs more than 250g, the Lite+ is subject to more restrictions on where you can fly it.

The Autel Evo Lite+ uses a Type 1 sensor camera for picture quality that's competitive with the DJI Air 2S, with the additional benefit of a variable aperture to cut incoming light without the need for ND filters. The folding drone can fly for around 40 minutes on a full battery and supports three-way obstacle sensors to prevent midair accidents. Who It's For If you plan to shoot aerial photos and videos, it’s worth thinking about how you plan to use your images. If you’re shooting to share on social, you might be happy with stabilized Full HD footage. But if you’re producing a short film or even working commercially, you should look for a drone with a large sensor that’s capable of recording 4K footage, with support for color profiles for greater editing flexibility. Do not attempt to catch the drone in flight. The rotating propellors represent a finger entrapment hazard. You want to fly in strong wind: The Mini 3 may be able to fly in wind up to 24mph, but it can struggle, and even drift when the wind is this strong. Small drones aren't only for racing, either. Some people use tiny, homemade Cinewhoop drones for long, one-take video tours. GoPro sells an ultralight version of its action cam, called the Hero10 Bones, for DIY drone builders who want the best video quality for these types of shots.Drone Home is a game mostly meant for children and families. The rules are really easy to understand as you just try to shoot your aliens and get them to stay on the drone. The game can be taught within a minute and outside of very young children I don’t see children having any issues understanding how to play the game. Based on difficulty I see no reason why a kid under eight (the recommended age) couldn’t play the game. I think the main reason for the age recommendation comes from the drone and the components themselves. The aliens are pretty small where young children could swallow them. Then there is the drone which can run into and break things if it isn’t monitored. Younger children might also try to put their hands into the spinning rotors. I don’t see this seriously hurting anyone as they are made of flexible plastic, but I am guessing the age recommendation is more of a safety precaution than anything else. If monitored by adults I think younger children could play the game. Due to its simplicity I can see the game working well for the whole family. The Mini 2 SE is the drone to get if you're just starting out and want to record ultra-smooth 2.7K30 footage from the air. Raw format imaging is also available for photogs who like to post-process.
