Our Top DJI Drones – Best Value For Money

Why We Recommend DJI

There’s no question DJI dominates the Drone market. They continue to produce innovative, advanced Drones, that are consistently excellent quality, yet easy and fun to fly with all the latest features. We recommend some of their products because of the quality and value for money.

What They Can Do To Improve

We think DJI does a lot of things right. Were we find room for improvement is with customer service. I personally have had really great service and support. But colleagues of mine have had different experiences. Your service mileage may very.

Compared To The Competition

DJI is at this point, miles ahead of their competition. Because they are so big and well established, smaller players are having a hard time catching up. The gap is starting to close though with other manufacturers putting out amazing products. Some we recommend here

Beginner – Tello

Great Little Starter Drone For Kids and Teens

I found flying the DJI Tello essay and a LOT of fun. Basically, you can just pull out your Phone and start flying. It’s a very safe Drone for kids, a great starter Quad.

I also found it was fun to fly indoors at first. It comes with prop guards so its safe in the house to fly. A great way to become an excellent pilot is flying indoors. Just stay away from the curtains!

If you are new to Drones this is another great first Quad. It’s easy to fly and comes with some really cool features for the price.

You can capture great pictures, take selfies with your friends and shoot video to upload to your Youtube channel if you like. I would recommend using a third-party controller.

I use this one (see it on Amazon). Using your phone in fine but if you would like precision control, use the third-party controller. It’s less than $50. It’s worth it.

Great Starter – DJI Mavic Mini

Awesome Camera and No Registration Required

It’s actually almost as compact as your smartphone. It takes amazing 12 MP Stills and 2.7K footage with an epic flight time of around 30 minutes. That in itself is remarkable for such a small Drone Check out all the great reviews on Amazon for the Mavic Mini

The Best Drone Under 250g

From first glance, this new Foldable, entry-level Drone looks awesome. The most exciting feature? It weighs LESS than 250g. This is huge!  It means in most countries you will not need to register this Drone. So, in Canada and the USA, no registration required.

 I predict this Drone will be the most popular entry-level Drone in the world by Christmas 2020.
