THE BEST DRONE BRANDS OF 2016

The Best Drone Brands of 2016by Michael Smith

Years from now, we might remember 2016 as the year drones officially took over. Thanks to continued leaps in technology, dramatic decreases in pricing, and an undeniable appeal, the world of commercial drone piloting has exploded into a bona fide phenomenon. Never before have there been so many aircraft in the sky—everything from indoor mini-drones to high-speed racers capable of 70 mph. If you’re one of the many people looking to join this high-flying craze, or if you’re already a pilot but thinking about switching disciplines—say, from drone videographer to FPV racer—we’ve compiled a list of the best brands to help get you off the tarmac and into the air.

Best brands for beginners

Whatever your goal is, all pilots start out at the same place: as beginners. And as a be-ginner, your main objective is learning how not to crash. With that in mind, novice drone pilots will want to learn with something that is both tough and relatively inexpensive. Tough, so that it can survive a head-on col-lision with a piece of furniture or tree; inex-pensive, so your bank account can survive even if your drone doesn’t.

UDI RC is a brand that offers some of the most capable and cost-friendly drones on the market—many of them in the $50-or-less range. One such example is the U818A model, which is a great beginner drone. It’s easy to fly and features a four-loop frame de-sign that protects the rotors from damage. If you do manage to hurt it, props and other ac-cessories are cheap and easily replaceable. As an added bonus, the U818A comes with an integrated camera, so you can get the feel of aerial recording while you’re learning the ropes of flight.

Now, while the U818A is a great choice for beginners, it’s also emblematic of the UDI

brand. Almost all UDI drones feature simi-lar functionality and protection, making any of their quadcopters a strong candidate for entry into the world of drone piloting.

Toy and mini-dronesDrones—or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)—typically have certain characteristics that qualify them as such: flight stabilization, GPS functionality, etc. Technically speaking, these traits are what make a drone more than just a radio-controlled flyer. However, thanks to the popularity of the market, there are quite a few R/Cs out there being billed as drones that don’t quite have the specs to live up to the name. However, just because a plane doesn’t have all the features of a tra-ditional drone, doesn’t mean it can’t be fun or useful. There is a whole market of innova-tive flyers out there—call them toy or mini-drones—that are as every bit as cool and capable as their older siblings.

Parrot, for instance, offers some of the best toy and mini-drones on the market. The company catalogue is deep, offering every-thing from acrobatic flyers with program-mable stunts and tricks to multi-terrain vehicles that can travel on land, air, and sea.

In addition to these toy R/Cs, Parrot also of-fers more sophisticated vehicles. The BeBop 2 quadcopter, for example, is a great inter-mediate drone for pilots who want to record high-quality video without shelling out high-er costs. If there were a category for best in-termediate drone, the Parrot BeBop 2 would definitely make the list.

FPV racing

First-Person-View (FPV) racing is one of the hottest trends currently sweeping through the aerial R/C community. Using specialized goggles and transmission equipment, FPV racing puts you inside the cockpit, where you’ll have to rely on quick reflexes and split-second decision-making to navigate courses and best your competition—all at speeds of up to 70 mph!

Like traditional drone piloting, when begin-ning with FPV racing, it’s best to start with an introductory package, something that’s tough, reliable, and won’t break the bank. Blade is a great company for pilots who are just starting out with FPV racing. The Nano QX package, for example, comes with all the equipment you’ll need to get started and is a

great drone for acclimating users to the FPV flight experience. Plus, unlike some of the other FPV packages, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg—just time and a little bit of patience.

When you’re ready to move out of the begin-ner’s ranks, ImmersionRC is another racing brand that offers a lot of quality options. The company’s ready-to-fly (RTF) drones are fast, well-built, and often feature modular de-signs that allow you to customize your drone if you choose to do so. Because many of their drones are competition-level ready, they tend to be more expensive than your standard in-termediate flyer, but you definitely get your money’s worth.

Action sport drones

If you’re a fan of action sports or an extreme athlete who wants to capture high-definition footage of your latest run, ride, or wave, AirDog is the brand for you. Designed with action-sports enthusiasts in mind, AirDog’s auto-follow drone will shadow you on your next adventure—no piloting skills required.

Two of the reasons AirDog stands out as a top brand are its durable build and long bat-tery life. The benefits of these features are obvious: longer flight times and the where-withal to stand up to harsh environmental conditions. However, what really sets AirDog apart are its programmable flight modes. Thanks to sophisticated built-in technol-ogy, the AirDog can determine what path to take and the best distance to shoot from

based on the activity you’re performing. This means it knows exactly where to be to shoot the best footage. Whether it’s skiing, biking, boarding, boating, or surfing, if you want precise footage of all the action—without having to hold or shoot a camera—AirDog is the drone for you.

The best of the bestEven if you don’t know anything about drones, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about DJI. Ever since the introduction of the Phan-tom quadcopter, in 2013 (which just happens to be the first-ever RTF drone to utilize GPS), DJI has been one of the undisputed leaders in the field of commercial drones and UAVs.

Three years after the groundbreaking re-lease of the Phantom 1, DJI’s catalogue of vehicles now boasts some of the most so-phisticated drones out there. The Phantom series alone is already up to its fourth itera-tion, with the latest model being, arguably, the best video drone on the market. Not just for professionals either, DJI offers a large se-lection of drones that are great for serious hobbyists or consumers who simply want to fly some of the best drones on the market.

Right behind DJI, if not directly beside, is 3D Robotics—called 3DR for short. A relative newcomer to the UAV market, 3DR made a huge splash with the release of the Solo Drone in 2015. Billed as “the world’s smart-est drone,” the Solo featured a twin-comput-er flight-control system that supports some

of the most sophisticated flight modes and controller on the market. Like the Phantom 4, the Solo is a drone prized by professionals and serious hobbyists alike.

Thanks to its exploding market and popu-larity, there has never been a better time to become a drone pilot. And never before have you had so many options to do so. The drones and drone brands mentioned here are in no way meant to be a comprehensive list of these options, rather, they are a snapshot of some of the brands doing great work in the field. If you’re ready to start earning your pilot wings, check out any of these brands for a great selection of drones and UAVs. ■
