Beginner Drones

Sub-250g (no registration in most places) with near-flagship camera — the best travel drone, full stop.

Under 250g yet shoots proper 4K with obstacle sensing — the do-everything starter that's now often discounted.

Best all-rounder — dual camera, 1-inch sensor, ~45min flight; the sweet-spot buy above the Mini.

100MP Hasselblad + triple camera for serious shooters; pro price, and it needs registration.

Shoot 360 and reframe the shot after you land, so you can't miss the moment — FPV done right.
