Drones
What is a good size for a drone?
It’s easy to think that as technology gets better it gets smaller. That’s the case with a lot of tech, but with drones there’s a bit more to consider. As a rule, the bigger the drone, the better the tech, the further the flight, and the better the stability. And bear in mind most modern drones come with a camera and gimbal built-in, so they no longer need to hold a separate DSLR, mirrorless, or action camera for aerial photography! So consider a few things when thinking about size:
- Use. What do you need it for? If it’s for fun, then a small drone may be the best option. If you’re a professional, bigger can be better.
- Budget. Smaller drones can be cheaper.
- Speed. Bigger drones may be faster.
- Battery life. Bigger battery means longer flight times.
- Distance. If you intend to fly longer distances, a bigger drone may be the right call.
- Portability. Smaller drones can be lighter and can fit into a backpack, making transport easy.
- Features. Bigger drones often have more features.
What are the benefits of using drones?
As any good buying guide will tell you, there’s a heap of features to look out for with the latest drones on the market, including:
- Tech. Multiple sensors, foldable, intuitive control, and big flight battery for extended flight times.
- Safety. Obstacle avoidance and stabilization features let you focus on the shot.
- Connectivity. Compatibility assured, stream or record, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and post production simplicity.
- Quality camera. Film in HDR or up to 8K, reduce motion blur, shoot in good or poor light, with a wide field of view and zoom options.
