Which Drone Is Best For You?

Drones have become a popular hobby for many and not just among aerial photography enthusiasts, some people actually enjoy just the thrill of mastering the controls of a quadcopter. A certain amount of skill is required to fly these four-propeller drones but thankfully there is enough choice out there for all pilot abilities. Before flying your drone it’s important to take a look at the rules and regulations issued by the FAA. For example, you have to keep your drone away from manned aircraft (a bit obvious really) and it must stay in sight at all times. Some of the drones have features designed to help you adhere to these rules, like the Return Home settings, so it’s worth finding the right model for you before taking your first flight. Here are our pick of some of the best drones you can get right now.

This model from Hubsan is fantastic value for money, priced at around $160, gives much the same features of other drones more than double the price. It transmits a first-person view video, which can be viewed from the controller. The Hubsan H107D is tiny, it literally fits in the palm of your hand but that doesn't mean it's any less of a drone. It also features the six-axis gyro to keep it stable in the air.
