Drone buying guide

2018-02-27
when it comes to buying a drone there's a lot of things to consider mainly what type of drone you want to buy they come in all shapes and sizes from toy drones that cost about twenty dollars all the way up to high-end camera drones that cost thousands of dollars when it comes to toy drones what you should consider is where you're going to fly it if you're just looking for something to fly around your living room there are ones that you control with your phone or tiny ones that just aren't suited for flying outdoors and those usually range in price from about twenty dollars to a hundred or so dollars the more money you spend of course the more features you get and generally the more stable they'll be some of them do have cameras but they're not going to be great quality if you want a better quality camera experience you're gonna want to step to a dedicated camera drone you'll get a better quality camera that's something along the lines of either a entry-level point-and-shoot up into something like a really good action cam of course if you go above that and spend thousands of dollars you'll get a really good large sensor camera equivalent to a digital SLR you'll also want to consider what's stabilizing the camera whether that's electronic stabilization which is done digitally in camera or in actual mechanical gimbal and then there are models that have a combination of both of those selfie drones are a subset of camera drugs they're mostly designed to catch quick aerial shots of yourself and your friends and family they fold up usually and you can stick them in your bag they're not really designed for flying they're typically flown with your phone or in some cases hand gestures they usually are priced between a hundred and five hundred dollars Racing droids are pretty much a DIY thing mostly because they crash a lot and did you need to be able to repair them now that's starting to change as more companies are starting to diversify them and make other categories of drones such as racing drugs when it comes to battery life a small drone it's gonna have a pretty low battery life toy drones get between five and ten minutes of flight time selfie drones will get about fifteen to twenty minutes of flight camera drones will get between twenty and thirty minutes of flight now all of that again is going to depend on how hard you're flying it wind conditions and generally how many features you have turned on on the drone the more money you spend usually the better features you get on toy drones that stuff usually gets left off so while you might get a beginner toy drone it will be harder to keep in the air than a higher-end drone with a bunch of safety features in GPS whenever drone you end up buying just be careful be considerate and read the manual
