 Which drone is right for you: Tool to help your careerDrones make headlines for a number of reasons, and they’ve particularly evolved on the consumer side over the last few years to be more than just flying toys. Much of this has to do with the increased stability and camera performance they are being built with now, making it easier to fly smoother and shoot better for a number of different professions.

Parrot is known for drones, and has generally stuck to the quadcopter design—until now. The Disco is a fixed wing drone that not only looks completely different from what came before it, but will also fly differently, too. The new model was showcased to a select group of journalists prior to CES, and I got some face time with it.

Today we'd like to help you solve the problem of choosing the right drone for the right user by considering drones according to their basic classifications.

DJI Mavic 3 has a 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera and shoots 5.1K video up to 15 km away. Extended battery life of 46 minutes means you'll always get your shot.

 It’s hard not to like flying a drone, or even watching one being flown. The novelty of drones, in general, is still fresh, and as awareness grows, so do their capabilities. The Parrot Bebop 2 is one of the easiest to get acclimated with, maintaining the simple look and feel of its predecessor without changing a great deal about its performance.

Whether you're a beginner drone pilot or have a permit to fly larger ones, Contixo has a great selection to choose from, all of which have cameras on board!

Until you actually fly a drone, you have no idea how amazing it is to have one around. Although some people use them strictly for entertainment purposes, I decided I wanted a better look at my property from the only angle I hadn’t seen it yet: up above. The Yuneec Typhoon G drone for Gopro cameras is easy to set up, fun to fly, and I’m in love with the solid 1080p footage of our property.    

One of the things about flying a drone is that each flight seems to elicit something new. As drones become more sophisticated, they offer more each time in the air, adding to the payoff of learning and improving as a pilot. The DJI Phantom 3 is built to last, outfitted with some of the latest features any consumer drone can offer. I took it for a test drive for over a week, and shot a short video to go with it.
