Top 3 Best Drones in 2021

Day by day, the usage of drones is increasing regularly due to their necessities. I t was mainly used by the military at difficult times to know their enemies’ location or to find an exit way in dangerous situations. It is also helpful to take photos at weddings and other functions too. Most of the travelers would love to carry drones with them to record their adventurous time in a new place. Drones are very much necessary in making films.

The Top 3 Best drones according to my case study are,

• DJI Inspire 2
• DJI Mavic 2 Pro
• Parrot Anafi

DJI Inspire 2

The DJI Inspire 2 is a pretty big drone and the cost of the drone is pretty high, which was around 6200 $. This drone will block the view on both the left and right side of the camera due to their landing gears while in the rest position, but at the flying time, the camera will be able to cover 360 degrees without any disturbance. This drone weighs around 7.3 pounds without the camera. This drone is perfectly not for the beginner because it is too expensive to practice or play with it. This drone comes up with two remotes, one for the pilot and another one for the camera operator. This drone can able to reach up to 16,400 feet and able to work around -20 degrees celsius. It also has an Auto track option, which makes the drone follow the moving subject locked by the operator. The DJI Go 4 is the app that connects the operator android with the drone. This app helps you take pictures or videos and enables you to control the overall options in the camera. It comes up with two cameras. The first camera was a built-in camera that covers a 2-axis gimbal and the other camera that I suggest was Zenmuse X4S, which is 600$ add-on. The specification of this camera was a 20 MP image sensor, 24mm f/2.8–11 lens, and mechanical shutter.

Pros

• Interchangeable cameras
• 5.2k video quality
• Dual operator, one for pilot and other for the camera
• Obstacle avoidance
• Auto track option

Cons

• Due to the high-quality video, the editing must be carried out in high-performance computer
• It is very much expensive

Those who consider the size and quality of the drone will usually go with this DJI Mavic 2 Pro. The price of the DJI Mavic 2 Pro is around 1450 dollars. This drone was considered one of the best folding drones all over the world. It measures 3.3 by 3.6 by 8.4 inches (HWD) folded and 3.3 by 9.5 by 12.7 inches when the arms are extended. While unfolding the drones, we need to swing the front arms of the drone before the bottom ones. The drone weighs around 2 pounds, it is for anyone to carry such a weight. During the flight mode in DJI Mavic 2 Pro, the forward, rear, upward, and downward sensors are active all the time. When any obstacle is detected in its moving direction, it will simply stop the movement and fly in the same position until the operator changes its way. Active Track option is also available in this drone, this option is very useful for filmmakers, military to target a moving object continuously. They also come up with Tripod mode, this mode helps the drone operator to move them in very slow without any struggles of controlling it.
