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.

Parrot Bebop

This drone from the French company Parrot, is at the more expensive end of the price scale but when you look at the specs you can see why. The Bebop features a 14MP "fisheye" camera, which allows it to record videos and take pictures in a 180 degree field. The built-in stabilizers mean that you get incredible clarity and quality from your footage, yet thanks to its very light, reinforced structure it is still robust and safe to use both indoors and outdoors.
