Guest Post: Best High End Drones on the Market

Not sure where to begin? Don’t worry, we did the research for you!

Over the past years, drones have developed into having many purposes. From being used by hobbyists to being necessary business tools. In fact, the industry has become so diverse that there are even drones for kids available these days.

The market has since grown tremendously and you can find basically any size, shape or feature that you could ever want or need. It can be overwhelming when searching for that perfect drone and figuring out where you should buy it from. To eliminate any headaches, we’ve put together a master list of the absolute best high end drones on the market today.

Autel Robotics Evo Folding Drone

A perfect drone when it comes to transporting and traveling with it! The size is just right to pack up easily and carry. It also has enough density so that it doesn’t get pushed all over the place by winds during flight. It’s quick to setup for flying. The wings simply fold out and all you have to do it place the drone on the ground; you’re ready to fly!

The battery is also a very simple process to switch out. It’s about the entire back half of the drone and it easily slides out with a click. The charge time is quick, at around 1 hour to become almost fully charged. With that, you can get up to 30 minutes of flight time.

Overall, the drone has a very sleek and efficient design. The entire underneath and heat vents are all aimed to cool off the drone during flight and these features do a really great job. It’s obvious that a lot of care went into the creation of the drone’s body.

It’s eye-catching and built extremely well and of quality. It also is equipped with an industry-leading camera that captures 4K at 60 frames per second. The orange color of the drone also gives it a nice trendy feel.

A great feature of the Autel Robotics Evo is actually its ability to sense any danger. If any of its sensors detect an object, it will prevent you from flying forward while giving you a warning. You can also set it to follow you and if it detects anything, it will divert it and then continue following you.

DJI Mavic Air Quadcopter

Second on our list is the DJI Mavic Air and if you know anything about drones, you already know that DJI is the leader in this industry. This drone is equipped with an incredible camera. It offers 4K video recording and the drone is built with a three-axis gimbal for stability. This means that your footage will be extremely smooth.

Similar to the previously mentioned Autel Robotics Evo, the arms are foldable on the Mavic Air. This makes packing and carrying the drone very effortless. It can easily slip into a backpack or even a camera bag.

This drone is extremely well built on the exterior and interior, despite its small size. Because of this, it can reach speeds up to 40mph. Paired with this, the Mavic Air has a transmission distance of 4 kilometers. Or you can connect to a mobile device and get up to 50 meters of distance.

An impressive feature that the Mavic Air offers is the use of HDR photography algorithms. It helps obtain the perfect exposure settings automatically depending on the lighting situations in the environment.

DJI Mavic Pro Quadcopter

I’m sure it’s no surprise the next high end drone on the market is another one from DJI. The Mavic Pro.

If you’ve ever seen any drones from the Phantom series by DJI, you’d know how compact and lightweight they are considering their capabilities. Well, the Mavic Pro’s incredibly portable size knocks them all out of the water. It’s about 1/6th of the size when folded.

You may think that it doesn’t provide the same abilities and features that larger drones have, but this little one sure packs a punch. It features a 4K camera that captures footage at 30 frames per second. The camera is mounted on a small motorized gimbal which is able to make almost instant adjustments to keep itself leveled.

Similar to its cousin, the Mavic Air, it can reach speeds up to 40 mph. And per a full-charged battery, it can endure flight time of around 27 minutes. The battery itself takes about an hour to charge back up and then you’re ready to fly again!

And just when you thought the world of drones couldn’t possibly be better, DJI actually released the Mavic Pro 2 and it is now available for sale. We’re still waiting eagerly to be able to give an in-depth review on it.

Things to Consider Before Purchasing

If you’ve never purchased a drone before, it’s important that you take a moment to read up on federal and state drone laws. If you’re buying a drone soon, you should know that you absolutely must register before you take the first flight. Perhaps some of these drones are out of budget for you or you’re a novice to the flying; this list of drones under $500 may be more suitable.

As you can see, all three of these drones are the top of the industry. While they may offer slightly different features, you won’t go wrong with choosing one over the other. If you’re ready to upgrade to a high end drone, check out one of these today!

Guest Post: Top 5 Drones for Kids in 2018

Drones are neat little flying devices and one of the most sought-after tech toys today. Not only are they for recreational use, they’re practical and can even be used for school projects. Perhaps you have been considering one for your kid, but not sure which one will be the best bang for your buck.

Here, we have reviewed the most top rated and high quality drones for kids in 2018.

DJI Phantom 4- Top RC Drone

The Phantom 4 is the latest version of DJI’s top-end consumer drone. It’s incredibly easy to fly, includes a high-speed sport mode and an excellent obstacle avoidance feature. Once an obstruction is detected, the drone will stop and hover in its tracks. The phantom also includes a 720p live view with 20mm wide-angle lens.

Home Lock, a return-to-home feature will bring the Phantom back. The automated and manual flight modes allow for easier control, which makes it the best remote controlled drone on the market. There is now a Pause button on the remote. If you press it, the drone will stop in place and hover. The Phantom’s VPS (Vision Positioning System) will prevent it from crashing into the ground when flying low in uneven terrain.

These high quality features land this drone in a relatively expensive category. Another downside to this one is of needing a third party app for real mission planning. As it weighs 3 pounds, you will need to register with the FAA before flying it if you live in the United States.

2. Hogs Star Wars Ultimate Millennium Falcon – Best For Indoor Flying

This ready-to-fly drone The Falcon is shaped just like the Stars Wars ship. It weighs only 2.24 ounces and because of its lightweight quality, its best to avoid flying it outdoors and suitable only for indoor use. Made of foam, the soft frame will allow it to bounce of walls and furniture without causing any damage. The ducted propellers also make it easy to fly and an excellent choice for beginners.

The Falcon can be charged via USB using a PC or a wall adapter. However, battery life is limited to 8 minutes max and takes over an hour to fully charge. Another downside to The Falcon is that the motors tend to make a high-pitched whining noise.

3. Hubsan X4 H107L – Best Drone On A Budget

Budget friendly Hubsan has a number of visual and functional improvements over its earlier version, the V1. The blue and white LED lights on each side of the motors offer great night-flying capabilities, which can be activated using the throttle trim.

The anti-flip mode is useful because this particular drone tends to loose altitude with flips. The drone needs more than half throttle to hover but more power to climb out, making its flight performance excellent. It also includes a protective ring for indoor flying. Maintenance of this drone can be challenging, but that’s to be expected given the price.

We also recommend picking up a lot of extra props for this model.

4. Sysm X5C 2.4G – Decent Camera (for the money)

The 6-axis gyro stabilization on this drone ensures maximum stability during flight, a wind resistant drone that can be flown both indoors and outdoors. The HD Camera and 2GB Micro SD card allow you to take photos and videos while flying, however battery life lasts only for 7 minutes. Despite this, users are usually very happy with this particular drone. It also includes a feature that allows you control flips with a press of a button.

The remote control X5C utilizes spread spectrum technology to ensure remote distance and anti-interference ability. Although it does take a lot of practice to learn how to fly this drone high, it’s still a great value for your money.

5. UDI U818A – Best Recreational Drone

For aspiring pilots, the UDI U818A is an excellent and affordable recreational drone with the pilot capable of full control. The UDI has fun and easy to use controls, a minimalistic design with a lightweight frame and is also fast and quick turning.

A small screw holds the rotors to the motor shaft in place, unlike other budget friendly quadcopters. It also includes several LED lights around the front and back of frame. The buttons on the shoulders turn the LED lights on and off and put the quadcopter into stunt mode. There are a few buttons on the front of the controller surrounding the LCD display, which take pictures, start and stop video, change the mode of flight and flip the quadcopter.

The LCD displays battery life, signal strength and how much thrust is currently being applied. The drone can fly up to 40 feet and although the controller is connected to a 2.4-GHz radio signal, there is no interference from Wi-Fi networks. The UDI can be operated with the controller only.

You can definitely not go wrong with a drone as a gift for your child. When you are choosing, keep in the mind the best drones for kids will be ready to fly, have a quality camera, stability and long battery life. They must be good at navigating and controlling the aerial camera while watching out for accidents.
