There are a dizzying array of drones available, so we've put together a guide of the best drones we've tested for every budget. These are our WIRED recommendations.
We've removed DJI's Phantom 4, because while it might still be a good drone for some niche applications, DJI's newer folding drones are a better way to spend your money. It's not a bad drone; it's just outdated.
Then there's the "toy" drone market. The internet is awash with drones in the $50 to $150 price range. There are two reasons for this. First, well-made drones are still expensive. Even our cheapest pick is $400. But drones also share many components with smartphones, which means chips, camera sensors, and tiny lenses are cheap at the wholesale level. That results in a million knockoffs.
Unfortunately, you tend to get what you pay for. While two of the under-$100 models I've tested were fun to fly, the photos and video they produced were hot garbage. I also have my doubts about their long-term durability. I think most people would be better off buying one of the tiny toy drones above while saving up for DJI's Mini 2.
