DJI Has announced savings of up to $350 off select drones!! This is a huge savings on some of the best drones currently on the market. Below you will find my favorite drones of 2019 at various price points.

#1 Dji Mavic Pro 2

The BEST drone on the market - The DJI Mavic 2 Pro w/ 1” sensor - Providing awesome photos, great video paired with 360-degree obstacle avoidance, long flight times and easily customizable cinematic movements. I have traveled the world with this drone and I am impressed EVERY time I fly. It is a pro-level drone but is still easily one of the best drones to start with. Occusync connection between drone and controller provides a rock-stable connection with crystal clear video even when the drone is MILES away! I have over 200 flights with the Mavic 2 Pro and it continues to perform flawlessly.

The Mavic 2 Zoom is not currently discounted - at $1429 it is not a drone that I typically recommend over the Pro version. Having the zoom is nice but the larger sensor in the Pro model makes it much better for photos. If you plan to ONLY do video you may find the zoom capabilities more useful but not enough that I would recommend it over something like the Autel Evo.

#2 Autel Robotics EVO Quadcopter

I tested the Autel Evo earlier this year and was impressed! This drone is capable of 4k at 60fps. DJI’s Mavic series max out at 4k at 30fps. 60fps is nice to capture more crisp action or playback at 1/2 speed which can often make the footage look just that much more epic. It’s not a big deal but it does give you, as a content creator, additional flexibility. For photographers, the quality is on par with the original Mavic Pro or the current Mavic Zoom. But this drone does have a few advantages beyond the 4k at 60fps.

The remote includes a screen! You also get great build quality, and FREE VR hookup all makes this a compelling alternative to DJI’s dominance. The Drone is $999 but I recommend the Autel Robotics EVO Quadcopter with On-The-Go Bundle This kit brings you the EVO quadcopter with all its standard accessories plus a shoulder bag for easy travel, two additional batteries, and one additional pair of propellers.

#3 DJI Mavic Pro (Fly More Combo)

Yes, this older drone released in2016 is on my list in 2019! I still own this drone and it still provides excellent results. The Fly More package provides everything you need - including a total of THREE batteries for just $929! This is only slightly more than the Mavic Air and unlike the Mavic Air this drone uses Occusync technology which provides a crystal clear video feed to your smartphone/controller - letting you see exactly what you are filming with no issues - it also means you easily maintain control of the drone at ridiculously long distances - miles!! The Mavic Air Fly More Combo is about the same price and does provide it all in a smaller package - but its reliance on WIFI connection means shorter range and more interference depending on where you fly. I really like the Mavic Air but at this price, the original Mavic Pro is my pick.

#4 DJI Mavic Mini

The brand new, under 250g, drone from DJI is just $399! I have been flying mine for almost two weeks now and I am very impressed. Despite its tiny size and weight, this drone can perform. The interface is simple and the flight is easy. Image quality is similar to the original Mavic Pro and the Mavic Air and video quality is good but does not offer 4k. 2.7k is the highest resolution. The weight means you do not need to register with the FAA and because it is so lightweight I predict you will throw this in your bag on most trips - it weighs only slightly more than a large smartphone! Did I mention it is easy to fly - No other drone at this price point provides this easy to use interface with GPS for precision flight and one-touch landing.

Buy the Mavic Mini $399 - Fly More Combo $499

#5 - Just for Fun - the DJI Tello Iron Man

Currently on sale for $89. This colorful drone is more than a fun toy- it teaches the beginnings of drone flight and while it doesn’t have GPS it does provide a vision positioning system to ensure stable hovering. The small size and prop guards make this easy to fly inside - It does include a camera capable of 720p and 5mp photos. Paired with an app that provides missions, you ( I mean your kids ;) can feel like a superhero!
