Oh no. I’ve contracted Dronility. I need to buy a drone.
Which one should I get?
Ah, classic case. Let’s hit you with the right dosage.
Start with this one, the best
overall.
Under 250g, full obstacle avoidance, great image quality. It’s like a flying therapist for your need to
overthink specs.
If your wallet’s coughing blood, go for this
one:
Still lightweight, still solid footage, just fewer bells and no obstacle sensors. Best budget option by
far.
Want cinema-level shots and don’t mind selling your kidney?
Take this:
the best camera drone on the market. Triple cam setup, absurd image quality, makes the sky look like a
movie set.
Is there something that balances power and price?
Yep, this
, best all-rounder. Dual cameras, top-notch features, not
outrageously expensive. Ideal for when you’re serious but not yet delusional.
For aerial selfies, nothing beats this
. It literally launches from your palm like you’re summoning tech magic. Also, the propeller
guards mean fewer haircuts by accident.
Want great camera quality without the premium price tag? Try
this
, same massive sensor as its pricey sibling,
but ditches the telephoto. Still gorgeous footage.
I might want something cheap though, just to get started.
Then this
is your starter drug. Super cheap, decent footage, and still
small enough to carry around without looking like a traffic drone.
Feeling like an adrenaline junkie? Strap on goggles and go for
this
. Best FPV racing drone out of the box — fast, immersive,
and just disorienting enough to keep things exciting.
And if you want to avoid the DJI ecosystem entirely, I’ve tested
this
. Best DJI alternative for beginners. Surprisingly advanced, good value,
and doesn’t scream “I’m on a budget!” like most non-DJI models.
I’ve opened 9 tabs. I think it’s getting worse.
Anyway, thanks man!
Happens to the best of us.
Just promise me you won’t name your drone.
