Change your perspective (literally) this holiday season with high-tech drones! These easy-to-navigate camera-equipped flyers are a great gift idea for the beginner or the more serious drone pilot.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the features on some popular drones that make them both fun and practical during the holidays – or any time of year!

High Quality Photos and Video

One of the most practical features of radio-controlled drones is their ability to capture high-quality images, including stills and video. This can be a great way for the hobbyist to get a unique angle for their landscape photography, as well as for professionals creating unique commercial videos for advertising or even music.

For example, the Shift Red Drone Hi-Lite is capable of full HD video recording at 1080p at 30 frames per second for a seamless finished product. This affordable drone also has the ability to offer real-time video transmission! It’s ideal for beginners as the one-handed controls are easy to learn, as well as boasting autonomous tracking modes and pre-programmed flight modes.

In the case of the DJI Air 2S Drone, the MasterShots feature will capture high-quality footage at 5.4k at 30 frames per second while the advanced AI pilots the drone around the subject you want to capture! It also features obstacle detection to avoid mishaps.

Reliable Battery Life

You don’t have to worry too much about your drone running out of power while in flight. Many feature intelligent sensors that will report battery life in real-time, so you know when it’s time to wrap up a session. However, some models such as the DJI Air 2S Drone Fly More Combo comes with three intelligent flight batteries to prolong the fun!

The charging times are also quick (in an hour or less) so you can get back to the action in a hurry, and depending on the model can fly for 30 minutes or more at a time!

Easy Sharing

Getting your images and video to your computer (or social media) has never been easier. In the case of the Shift Red Drone Hi-Lite, all you have to do is connect, and you can then share your creations with others online effortlessly.

The DJI Air 2S Drone Fly More Combo includes everything you’ll need to transfer your images at quick speeds: a USB-C connector, a lightning connector, as well as a standard micro-USB connector. Some models also come with an AC power cable.
