When choosing the right drone, it’s best to consider several factors: flight time, camera quality, extra features and even weight all play a role. That’s why you’ll find a selection of the best drones of the moment here. Read what these models have to offer, compare them and choose the best drone for you.

What makes a good drone?

A person is flying a DJI drone on a grassy field with mountains in the background, while someone else is walking in the background.

What makes a drone good depends on exactly what you want to do with it. Want to capture impressive aerial footage for professional use or social media? Then a model with a 4K camera and gimbal is worth it: the latter stabilises the image, so your videos look sharp and professional, even in windy conditions. If you mainly want to practise or just enjoy relaxed flying, it’s better to choose a model that feels lighter and is easier to control. Also pay attention to flight time and range: the longer and farther a drone can fly, the more freedom you have to capture wide panoramas or smooth shots in a single take. Finally, features such as automatic return-to-home and obstacle detection make flying safer and easier, even for beginners.

There’s QuickShot for automated camera movements, Timelapse for sped-up aerial footage and Follow Me, where the drone automatically tracks you.

The Fly More Combo adds extra batteries, propellers, filters and a charging hub, so you can fly for longer and have everything you need right away.
