How To Decide

  1. You will need to decide whether you want a drone that’s ready to fly out of the box (RTF) or a drone that you might have to assemble or buy extra parts for. Many recent drones are RTF, but some still require a little assembly, and if you’re not comfortable doing that, you’ll want to steer clear of buying one.
  2. Next up is battery life. Electric drones are still relatively new, and they’re not able to fly for hours on end just yet. The better electric drones available can fly for up to 3 hours before needing a charge.
  3. Last but not least is your level of experience when it comes to flying a drone. Unfortunately, this is a case of you get what you pay for. Cheaper drones are often harder to fly, while more expensive ones have auto features and landing features that make them easier to keep safe.
