drones for photography

1.DJI mavic 2 zoom
DJIs Mavic Pro (2016) changed the perception of
what was possible with the best camera drones,
making it possible to fold and carry a
decent-quality lens without putting too much of a
dent in either the volume or weight of your
carry-on

2.Parrot anafi
Parrot wasnt really a contender in the high-end
aerial video market until the Anafi arrived in
mid-2018, but it was definitely worth the wait.
Rather than push up prices and weight with
sensors of questionable use (and the processing
power to handle their data), Parrot leave the
business of avoiding obstacles very much to the
customer.

3.DJI Phantom 4 pro V2.0
The Phantom was a revolutionary product, its
earlier versions including the first drone to
feature a gimbal-stabilised camera rather than
requiring the user to supply their own. Its
rugged body design means that while its no
longer the obvious choice for beginners or
consumers (for whom folding products offer at
least the same practicality), there is a strong
use-case for an occasional professional.

4.DJI Spark
In terms of value for money, the Spark is one of
the best camera drones of all. It doesnt
actually fold, but this means it has a
reassuringly rugged body, and the propellors do
fold, so it isnt actually that chunky.
Videographers have to settle for 1080p full HD
video, but that is certainly more than adequate
to share your exploits on YouTube. The ability to
track subjects works well too.

5.DJI Mavic air
The Mavic Air is a stunning technical
achievement, an incredibly capable drone that
for most people might look like the only flying
camera theyd ever need. With front, downward and
rear-facing distance sensors, the drone is
capable of identifying obstacles and not just
warning the pilot, but also plotting a course to
avoid, say, a wall or a tree if needed.

6.DJI Inspire 2
The Inspire 1 brought with it a jaw-dropping (and
obviously Klingon-inspired) design that keeps the
props comfortably out of most shots while
allowing for a big, stable frame. The Inspire 2
cements that professional quality with a
magnesium hull (careful where you grip it) and
lots of dual redundancy for safer flight.

7.Ryze Tello
This microdrone well below the likely minimum
weight for registration proudly proclaims that
its powered by DJI. To back that up, it has a
great array of software features and positioning
sensors. With surprisingly good image quality and
straight-to-phone saving it could give your
Instagram channel a new perspective.

8.Skydio R1
Object tracking and collision avoidance systems
are a nice boost to most drones, but are just a
fall-back. The R1, on the other hand, features
two cameras on each corner, two pointing up, two
more down and the main 4K camera. These combine
to give its NVIDIA TX1 256-core processor a very
full view of its surroundings

• 9.Power vision eye

The PowerEye is a great example of the benefits
to consumers of being in a market dominated by
one brand (DJI, in case you were in any doubt).
It really makes new contenders look for ways to
impress, and by carrying a Micro-4/3rds camera
this drone is firmly putting itself against the
Inspire 2 with a Zenmuse X5S

10.Yuneec typhoon H plus
With a one-inch sensor the Typhoon H Plus has a
camera that can take on the Phantom. Better still
it is supported by a big and stable six-rotor
frame, which is capable of returning if one motor
is lost. The retractable landing legs allow for
360-degree lens rotation
