It’s amazing to think that a few years ago camera drones were little more than novelty toys for gadget-heads; now they’re a creative tool few photographers or filmmakers want to go without.
There are choices for amateur and professional, offering a choice of creative angles and unique perspectives that simply wouldn’t be possible with any other camera. Of course, the possibilities have always been exciting – what makes it practical, and what is the right choice?
When we look at a camera drone, we're looking for the right balance of price, camera capability, and practicality. That last category is affected in most countries, including the UK and USA, by laws that make it easier to operate drones under 250g (0.55 pounds).
If you're looking for high-quality results, you'll need to look for larger image sensors and perhaps even the ability to record using cinema-grade codecs like ProRes. These can be hard for most people to work with though. More important are the essentials – a gimbal to keep the camera stable and a good battery life.
AI is also a key factor for shooting, with many drones having different levels of subject tracking that can greatly ease getting a good flowing shot, while safety is a factor bolstered by collision sensors, though these can come at a price.
Adam Juniper
Adam has been looking at cameras and gadgets since long before drones arrived, so he dived into the flying tech with enthusiasm, building several of his own before off-the-shelf possibilities emerged. He is not just our resident expert on all aspects of camera drones and drone photography, but the author of several books on the subject including bestsellers The Complete Guide to DronesandThe Drone Pilot's Handbook.
Compact powerhouse
A high-spec camera in a drone small enough to be used safely (and legally) in most places makes this an ideal first drone and often the only one you'll ever need.
Power and value
A still-compact 4K drone with two cameras (1x and 3x) and 200fps slow-mo makes this a good choice for serious imaging without breaking the bank or your back.
Clever and safe
If you want a loyal folding drone smart enough to follow you without the effort of flying it, and that will land in the palm of your hand without risking hurting you this is the only choice.
Great features for the cost
A beginner being sensible with their budget gets a lot of camera power for a very small amount of regulation with this drone.
6K Creative's camera
Autel's EVO Lite+ actually has some heft to it, and a camera with an adjustable aperture which can stay aloft a long time and get impressive RAW images or high-res video.
Cheap and powerful Potensic have introduced a DJI Mini-killer with their Atom, and gave their drone all the things DJI took away, including 4K video and subject tracking.
Flying cinema camera It's not cheap, but the interchangeable camera and interchangeable lens system, dual controller and dual battery system make this a precise tool for pros which can still be used by any drone pilot.
Why you can trust Digital Camera World
Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test.
✅ You want the ultimate power under 250g: The weight limit has a big impact on where you can fly and this drone is the best equipped in the weight category.
✅ You want great range: The excellent range also means control is reliable at more normal distances.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're looking for the best value: There are a lot of features here, and you can get away with less while still capturing high-quality content.
❌ You want true telephoto: If you want to zoom, then only digital zoom is on offer with this drone.
This drone's predecessor, the DJI Mini 3 Pro, had a massive effect when it arrived in May 2022 – it redefined what DJI was doing with the ultra-light category, bringing some collision sensors and a 4K 60fps camera which could physically rotate to vertical mode (a feature still not equalled by much bigger craft).
Under 18 months later, the Mini 4 Pro finished the job, making the collision sensors omnidirectional (all-round) and adding 10-bit D-Log M video and waypoint programmable flights while keeping under the magic weight. It can also do HDR at a full 60fps rather than the 30fps limit of the Air 3 Pro.
The Mini 4 Pro also sports DJI's updated O4 radio system which offers up to 20km (over 12 miles) of theoretical range or, more importantly, top-notch reception in sensible operational distances. The updated DJI RC 2, as seen with the DJI Air 3, is an option, which feels very pro in hand, giving the choice of a model with a screen to save the (fairly minimal) fuss of connecting a phone). In some markets (start chanting "USA, USA...") there is also a choice of batteries if you don't mind pushing the weight limit, meaning you can go from the already decent 30 minutes to over 40 (again, always take these with a pinch of salt – it depends on conditions and flying style). You should note, though, that the drone will know about the weight change, and can alert authorities.
The message of the Mini 4 Pro is that DJI will not let the weight restriction prevent creatives from achieving their goals. The inevitable downside is the pricing, which is quite a lot closer to the company's higher-end models than other ultralights. If you want to save, there is the less-expensive DJI Mini 3, which lacks the collision sensors and some of the output options, but will capture similar video and stills for the average user.

✅ You want a true telephoto: Digital zoom is one thing; the option to switch to a dedicated lens is another – the Air 3 is now DJI's cheapest option with tele.
✅ You want a great all-rounder: The drone balances features, a bit of extra size for stability, great range and performance against a sensible price.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to stay under 250g: While the drone is relatively light and easily portable (earning it EU C1 certification), it is still 720g.
❌ You shot 5K video on the Air 2S: If resolution matters to you more than tele, you might find DJI's reversion to industry-standard 4K a bit disappointing. Personally, I'd take that every time!
The DJI Air 3 has a lot to recommend it at price which – while certainly not pocket money – is less of a stretch than others on this list. Some can't look past the slightly smaller image sensor than its predecessor, the Air 2S, but the new image sensor is a modern stacked CMOS and – more importantly – there are two of them. One with a 24mm EFL (wide) lens and one with a 70mm EFL (what DJI call a medium telephoto) lens.
Since both have equally good 48-megapixel sensors, both can produce 100fps 4K slow-mo (or 200fps at 1080P) and all the other promised features, making the drone much easier to use than others which mix-and-match the sensors and lenses. In other words, switching zoom lengths works here at a pure hardware level, and DJI haven't had to strain their software in the way that a lot of phones try to (and often don't quite succeed at). Not just phones either – the complaint can be levelled at the Air 3's bigger brother, the Mavic 3 Pro, and especially that drone's predecessor the Mavic 3, but that's a whole other story!
The Air 3 is more like a slightly cut-down Mavic 3 Pro which, in being trimmed, has actually become a little bit easier to use. It nevertheless still gets all the cool features of its bigger, heavier cousin, like AI subject tracking and even Waypoints, plus excellent battery life, not to mention weighing a bit less. Why spend more?
If you want to do occasional survey work, and perhaps get some images, then I found the 4x zoom looked very impressive and, honestly, this drone seems to aggressively eat into the use-case for the Mavic 3.

✅ You want a drone that can fly itself: The HoverAir X1 is designed to follow you using AI, and it do so very well – brilliantly, in fact, considering it's all done with the main camera.
✅ You're looking for something fun: The genius of the X1 is how safe it is and how little effort it is to fly; even a phone as controller is optional.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You're expecting a high workload: The drone can only record to its in-built 32Gb storage; no memory cards.
❌ You want 4K video: The drone maxes out at 2.7K, more than good enough for sharing but perhaps not exactly broadcast quality.
This might not be ideal for younger kids without a bit of parental supervision, and it's certainly not the cheapest toy, but it's not too pricey either compared to many on this list and it does offer a very different take on drones that I found very compelling. It's one I've added to my collection, and it's one I find the whole family can enjoy.
When I first tried it, this drone surprised me with its sensibly safe design, and by how the AI could simply follow me, taking off and landing on my own hand. After initial set up, I didn't even need my phone to do it – there is a combination of a speaker inside so voices reassure you that you've asked for the right thing and simple buttons on the frame.
Think of it as an angel on your shoulder which can be passed between family members and follow them running, cycling, or undertaking any activity. An unusal drone, but amazing.
Choosing this drone does involve making a slight compromise when it comes to flight time and range; you can choose to fly it with your phone (wi-fi range) or just let the drone do the flying, but the resolution and flight time doesn't match even most ultralights. That said, it's not only cheaper and smarter but the caged propellors are notably safer than other drones.
✅ You want a 4K ultralight: This might be all the drone you ever need; it can capture 4K video from a 48-megapixel image sensor while staying under the 250g threshold.
✅ You're balancing cost and quality: Despite the low weight, DJI's tech copes well with light gusts and offers value and portability.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want collision sensors: DJI have kept the price down by not fitting collision sensors on this drone, though it can still land itself.
❌ You want 60fps at 4K: While you still get the optics on the Mini 4 Pro, the camera has a more limited range of frame rates and is H.264 only, not H.265.
DJI defined camera drones as we understand them today way back in 2016 with the first Mavic. It was so usable that drones clearly became a consumer-friendly product and soon after the restrictions started to emerge around the world.
Using a drone over 250g suddenly required registration, an online exam and a small fee in most countries, though by 2019 DJI's Mavic Mini had solved the weight issue. Because so few people love bureaucracy, and drone tech has progressed so well, it is no longer just a drone, but a whole category – ultralight. It is the obvious weight category for beginner drones, but there are also some surprisingly high-end options (like the Mini 4 Pro) and, in between, a sensible balance of capability and cost.
Knowing that history is useful because it explains why, even though the Mini 3 Pro is now superseded, this drone has a '3' in its name – it is essentially a lower-cost version of that, with the key feature removal being the collision sensors. In other words, a drone which was at launch in late 2022 verging on miraculous, became a lot more price more accessible.
You get all the key goodies of the Mini 4 Pro, including the 1/1.3-inch rotating camera for vertical format (selfie mode), and even the ability to shoot RAW images at up to 48 megapixels. Video is saved at 100Mbps, so looks excellent, though it does stop at 30fps (or 60fps at 2.7k). The automated ‘QuickShots’ (the drone keeps the camera on you and performs a cool pre-planned swoop) are also very handy; beginners can look like pro pilots and get dramatic video.
Given that the Mini 3 Pro only had partial collision sensors anyway (front and back), the Mini 3 not Pro was an excellent value choice (collision sensors can actually be very annoying). Now the DJI comparison is against the Mini 4 Pro which at least has more useful all-round sensors, but, again, while they have their uses when travelling sideways, a good pilot shouldn't need them.
The drone also still has GPS and downward vision sensors for landing, so auto return to home and other 'standard' features are available, and the older 'O2' radio system is rated for 6.2 miles/10km – so still perfectly adequate when flying legally.

✅ You want triple-camera power: The power afforded by the zoom cameras gives serious pros options even where airspace restrictions can hamper them. ✅ You want all the features DJI offer: This is a flagship, so you'll find all-round collision sensors, subject tracking and mission planning.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You just want one MFT camera: DJI have catered for you with a Mavic 3 Classic, that still gives you the excellent Hasselblad camera but leaves a smaller hole in your wallet. ❌ You don't need survey-level zoom: The 7x zoom might not be what you're hoping for; seriously look at the Air 3 as a money-saving alternative.
The Mavic 3 Pro is a powerful machine, capable of lifting a triple-camera system based around a 24mm EFL main camera and two secondary cameras (at 70mm EFL and 166mm EFL) that serve to provide a “hybrid zoom.” If the approach hadn't already been adopted – almost certainly – by your phone it might seem a bit confusing and it is a little strange at first but the excellent 20-megapixel main camera
brings the pro features of adjustable ISO, exposure, and, crucially, aperture.
The secondary cameras are less impressive, but they still represent a notable improvement over the original Mavic 3's dual camera system. The Medium Tele is f/2.8 and the tele ƒ/3.4 so you'll get the best imagery from the 'Hasselblad' (main camera – and ProRes video with the Cine option – but the other cameras don't give you the same camera system (unlike, say, the swappable Inspire 3). You can opt to switch between lenses, or have the computer create a long digital zoom (again, like a phone), all the way to 28x, though you'll see the jumps at 3x and 7x (again, like a phone).
Nevertheless, the Mavic 3 will do the job in a lot of situations, and it can do it for much longer too; hovering for up to 43 minutes, which means it can cover over 15 miles in a flight – not too shabby for survey missions either. Some might see the folding form factor as belonging to consumer territory, but that’s an old-fashioned perspective in the drone world and amongst clients; this is an aerial camera that (while being over most weight limits) is more portable than most and certainly priced for professionals.
The Mavic 3 Pro Cine is a variant exclusively for those requiring ProRes 422 HQ format video which also holds onboard a 1TB SSD to store the uncompressed video it can capture, and ships with a “DJI RC Pro” (controller with built-in screen). The video needs to be downloaded directly from the drone as the SSD is fixed.

✅ You want aperture control: With so many drones having fixed aperture, including this drone's obvious competitor the Air 3, the ƒ/2.8-ƒ/11 aperture is a feature that offers a point of differnce.
✅ You want to capture video over 5K: Some editors prefer to crop from 5.4K video, and the EVO Lite+ makes that possible.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want collision sensors: DJI have kept the price down by not fitting collision sensors on this drone, though it can still land itself.
❌ You want 60fps at 4K: While you still get the optics on the Mini 4 Pro, the camera has a more limited range of frame rates and is H.264 only, not H.265.
Looking at the word of drones it's easy to think there is only one contender, DJI, but the EVO Lite+ shows that another company can approach things in quite a different way and the result is a drone that, for a good few photo and video enthusiasts, is probably the right choice, especially now that it's price has settled a little since launch.
Despite the name, the EVO Lite+ is not Autel's most lightweight offering – that is the Nano, which is their contender against the DJI Mini 3. It's better thought of as a smaller version of their main EVO drone (If the naming seems weird, it helps to remember that the Mavic and EVO, at about 900g, came first and a lot of drone companies still think of the 'about 900g' as the normal size and everything smaller as the difficult miniature offerings in part forced on them by regulators!)
Anyway, as I said, the EVO Lite and Lite+ (for there are two choices with different cameras) are reasonably meaty drones with a choice of colors and reassuringly sprung arms that make quick setup in the field a breeze. The standard controller seems very console-inspired, but that wasn't actually an issue for me, instead makes it comfortable.
I like to think of this as a drone for folk who believe a little more in specs than digital solutions. The new DJI Air 3 abandoned the 1-inch sensor, but this drone (at least the Lite+ edition) offers it, with lovely big 2.4um pixels, and 5.4K video has its uses. The camera also has a 29mm EFL lens which is a matter of taste, but not as wide angle as most drone cameras.
Admittedly 10-bit video would be better than just a flat profile, and the subject following is a little more limited than DJI's, but low-light performance is excellent and I love the fact I can tweak all the settings.

✅ 4K stable video on a budget: This isn't a pricey drone but it has a 3-axis gimbal like all good camera drones. ✅ You want a lot of features: If you want access to the kinds of features DJI put on their mid & high-range drones, but want to pay entry-level prices, this is the drone for you.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want an established pro brand: Potensic have been around a while, but they've generally been a little more consumer. ❌ You want to use filters: There doesn't seem to be the option to fit an ND filter.
Potensic have been drones for quite a while, but until recently haven't really worried the market leaders. Until the Atom, their strategy seems to have revolved around getting products out for the family fun / toy market. The Atom, though, really caught me by surprise when I tried it.
On opening the very elegant box, I discovered a drone which had a build quality and styling which seemed to owe a fair bit to the DJI Mini 2. You might say "That's the previous generation, surely DJI is still superior?" but in truth DJI's cheapest offering – the Mini 2 SE – is still based on that drone's airframe. Not only that but DJI have reached the point where they seem to limit features, so their entry-level drone won't record video above 2.7K
There are no such limitations on the Potensic, which has a very clever controller design that accommodates a phone in an extendable body design, even my iPhone Por Max in a case. The app is good, and the drone's batteries charge either via individual USB-C socket or (if you get a Fly More Kit) using a charging hub.
It feels like Potensic has taken everything it has learned, as well as a good look at what's around there, and successfully moved upmarket without pulling their prices all the way. That's a very tempting choice. On the strength of this, I don't see it being an economy brand for long.

Costly
Buy it if:
✅ You want to use interchangeable lenses: Despite the price, this is still one of the cheaper and easier ways to do that. ✅ You need reliable broadcast quality output: The Inspire series is established
Don't buy it if:
❌ You just need good video: Nine times out of ten you can get what you need with a Mavic 3. There was a time people bought the Inspire 1 because it was cool; things are different now. ❌ You are regularly working alone: Although you can pilot the Inspire 3 alone, it can do more with a crew.
The Inspire 3, with the required accessories, will set you back the same amount of money as a small car, but for the cinematographers it is aimed at it'll be worth it. It could even save a bit compared to jibs and dollys, though it does have a bit more downdraft! The accuracy of repeatable routes can be centimeter level thanks to built-in RTK compatibility.
As for cameras, the detachable unit has its own name: the Zenmuse X9-8K Air camera. Perhaps more will come later? It can rotate 360 degrees beneath the drone's airframe, and can be operated by one pilot – with the assistance of AI subject framing if they choose – or a pilot and one or two camera operators.
This is serious professional stuff, which will only record to DJI's own costly SSD cards (the same as used with their Ronin cinema cameras), and editing will require crunching a lot of numbers, but the results are spectacular and the dual-native ISO full-frame imaging sensor certainly gets the results you'd expect for the investment.

No forward collision sensors
Buy it if:
✅ You want social media clips: This drone can produce 5 automatic selfies and shareable QuickShots
✅ You want to fly outdoors: The Mini 2 SE will survive Level 5 winds
❌ You need 4K: I'd say it wasn't essential, the 2.7K from a stable camera is impressive, and here it is the limit.
❌ You need collision sensors: What appear to be sensors are merely vents.
The best way to think of the DJI Mini 2 SE in terms of quality is as a flying smartphone camera from a mid-range device. That, though, is a high standard these days, certainly far higher than toy drones and their shaky video because this drone can hover perfectly thanks to its onboard sensors and has a 3-axis mechanical stabilizer for its camera.
Tech enthusiasts might feel that the 2.7K video resolution isn’t enough for them, but family members (and anyone watching socially shared versions) would be hard-pressed to spot the difference against 4K. The drone also scrapes in beneath the 250g registration barrier and has a much more welcoming entry price than anything else DJI offers, making it a perfect gift. Software-wise the app is intuitive and includes auto land, return to home, and some cool orbiting effects which will be sure to earn likes.
Note: This drone has effectively replaced the Mini SE which, in turn, borrowed the Mini 2's airframe – the only real change is the newer remote control.
✅ You have no use for tele lenses: The 4/3 camera is the best on a folding drone, and this drone gives you that for the lowest investment. ✅ You want DJI's best software: All the obstacle avoidance and subject tracking tools you could need.
Don't buy it if:
❌ You want to keep options open: It isn't that much more money for the Mavic 3 Pro, which boasts the extra cameras. ❌ You want a small drone: The Mavic 3 isn't especially small and light, and you'll need to register.
The Mavic 3 is a powerful machine and priced accordingly, but while its “hybrid zoom” is a handy tool for surveying, it isn’t a feature that will excite a lot of photographers. This “classic” version ditches the relatively low-resolution zoom camera and retains the 4/3 Hasselblad camera on more or less the same airframe (including C1 certification). 10-bit D-log and all the low-light benefits of the large sensor are retained.
That means creators who would only have used the 24mm EFL camera can pay a little less to get the 15km range, advanced return to home (avoiding and re-routing around objects), and the excellent battery life of the Mavic 3 without really losing out. In fact, compared to the original’s launch, there are some advantages – the subject tracking, panorama capture, and other functions are all working from day one, and are pretty high-end.
However, it's worth noting that the Mavic 3 Pro emerged, improving some of the complaints about the Mavic 3, after the Classic's launch and personally – having flown all three – I would do my level best to buy the version with all the cameras if I could; after all the price difference isn't that much when you're already spending this much and it's better to have options, isn't it? (OK, it is – the difference is more than the price of a DJI Mini 3, but you still have to be very confident that you only need the wide which, in fairness, is true of many videomakers and surveyors. It's your call.
GPS:
Toy drones generally don’t feature GPS, but if you’re composing photos it’s nigh-on essential. The positioning technology was developed with guided missiles in mind, so ideal for drones. Unlike a missile, though, the aim is to stay very much in the same place, rather than be pushed away by the breeze. Not only is piloting easier, but it enables an automatic return to the take-off point should the drone lose contact with the pilot, a useful backup.
Controller: Not all controllers are created equal. Most feature the twin sticks but at the lower end, they’ll use standard Wi-Fi with a range of around 100m control and video feedback with a clear line of sight. Higher-end drones (everything on this list) make use of proprietary radio systems (DJI alone have come up with names like Lightbridge, OM3, O3, O4). Their range is measured in miles, support for master & slave controllers (enabling separate pilot & camera operator), and first-person-view goggles.
Camera & gimbal: Like any camera, sensor size and megapixels matter, but so too do the means of vibration reduction. At the lower end, cushioning or some kind of digital image stabilization works, but the best systems used motorized gimbals to steady and level the camera on 2- or 3-axis.
Battery: Battery capacity is the key limit in flying drones. Higher capacities don’t always make for longer flight times since overall weight (not least the battery’s) and efficiency are a factor. The much more useful measure is simply minutes of flight time. Lithium batteries store a lot of power, but “Intelligent Batteries” are safer and include built-in monitors so you can easily check their charge. Drones are at their most efficient when flying forward at an average speed, so right out of the gate, you should assume the hover time for each drone is a little less than the given flight time. Maneuvers draw more power too
The App: The quality of the manufacturer’s free app is a big part of the experience, since many features, especially on higher-end drones, will require you to dig down through menus. Taking the camera beyond auto is certainly done this way. Cunning developers have also found ways to use the drone sensors and the app’s processing abilities to create easier flying modes and awesome visual effects like DJI’s Tiny Planet selfie clip, just one of the “Quickshot” options.
The Bundle: A lot of drones are sold on their own, with a controller, or with a kit that includes things like spare propellers, extra batteries, ND filters, and a bag. Spare propellers, well, sad to say but you’ll probably need these early on. Batteries are expensive, and it can be a long walk to charge them from where you use them, so these should be seriously considered a factor in the price of a bundle. A well-designed bag can protect all of these (even if you just stuff it inside your preferred bag). Don’t forget, too, that you can’t just get ND filters to fit most drones – the gimbals tend to have one-off lens mounts, all worth bearing in mind.
How we test drones
Our drone tests are carried our in the field, allowing us to assess the quadcopter for its flight performance, easy of use, and its image quality. All our drone reviews are overseen by Adam Juniper who is one of the UK's leading experts in drones, and who has written several books on flying drones, including The Drone Pilot's Handbook. He ensures that the tests – most of which he does himself – cover any notable features thoroughly in real-world scenarios.
That means, especially, take-off, landing, flying at speed, negotiating tight turns, flying toward obstacles to see if the AI avoids them (low-resolution sensors might not see tree leaves, for example), and following subjects at different speeds to test AI tracking.
With over 20 years of expertise as a tech journalist, Adam brings a wealth of knowledge across a vast number of product categories, including timelapse cameras, home security cameras, NVR cameras, photography books, webcams, 3D printers and 3D scanners, borescopes, radar detectors… and, above all, drones.
Adam is our resident expert on all aspects of camera drones and drone photography, from buying guides on the best choices for aerial photographers of all ability levels to the latest rules and regulations on piloting drones.
