Toys Games & Hobbies

 As photographers and videographers we’re living in an incredible time; the combination of low-cost, high-quality camera equipment with aerial drones and gimbals, it’s now possibly to shoot amazing photos and videos in a way that was previously only accessible to well-funded professionals. Drones are easy to control and easy to shoot with, leaving only one challenging part: how to pick the right drone for you as a photographer or videographer. After reviewing countless models, I have two drones here that offer best-in-class experiences, read on to learn about both of them.

 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.

Today, however, everyone from amateur videographers to aerial hobbyists can own a decent drone. Just take a look at YouTube and you’ll find tons of amateur footage shot using drones. But, if you’re just getting started, how do you narrow the field from all the options out there? Well, if you’re looking to buy a drone to shot some cool action, I can give you a couple of options as to which drone is right for you: sport enthusiast.
