Guide to buying your first drone

Buying your first drone is exciting, but it's good to know what to look for so you don't regret it.

To start, prioritize stabilization (gimbal) and a camera of at least 2.7K, autonomy of 20+ minutes and GPS for automatic return. Weight matters: lightweight ones tend to have fewer legal restrictions.

DJI is the reference, but there are good value for money alternatives. Look at the Drones and Surveillance category and compare before deciding.
