There are many types of drones which consumers can choose from today. We give a rundown of each below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we get started we just want to make the obvious clarification here that these are all drones that regular people like you and I can buy. There are many other types of drone that specific businesses or Governments can buy, for example military drones<\/a>, but that doesn’t really fit into what we’re talking about here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 6 Types of Drones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mini Drones<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mini drones are super small, even for drones, and some would fit right into the palm of your hand. They are generally easy to fly and convenient for beginners who are still learning the ropes about how to fly a drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to that, they are often affordable and cost less than $100<\/a> in some cases. Despite that fact, some still come with cameras, so pilots need not miss out on the chance at stellar aerial shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drone newbies tend to get left hanging in terms of\ninformation and training material online. With mini drones however, you can\nquickly get up to speed on what to expect when flying your own drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini drones (Sometimes called Nano drones) are a \u00adsafe <\/em>entry level choice you can try first, before making your way upwards and onwards to more challenging drone models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is so for 2 main reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only are they reasonably priced (you don\u2019t want your inexperienced, newbie hands on a machine that costs thousands of dollars), they are also very durable and can usually withstand a fair few crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are therefore the perfect option for anyone who wishes to work on their flying technique before upgrading to a more serious choice of UAV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini drones are known for their small, light-weight finishes, as a result of being constructed entirely of plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you cringe at that fact, you need to understand that this is what makes them so sturdy in the first place. Mini drones are crash-proof because of this very fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage that comes with these drones is that they\ndon\u2019t cost an arm and a leg to repair in the unlikely event that they take\ncrash damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, even though these pint sized drones don\u2019t come with the all the gimmicks which their larger, more sophisticated counterparts have, they pack a lot of benefits that make them a worthy purchase nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of their essential features worth taking note of include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
