Where to Buy: Best Buy
Cost: $89.99*
For anyone who looks at too many memes, this drone photo is incontrovertible proof that birds are in fact real. While it’s undisclosed exactly which model the photographer used to snap this awe-inspiring image, one thing is certain, that there are few sights quite as striking as a flock of flamingos.
If you too are an aspiring birdwatcher looking to capture some incredible photographs, you’re in luck. A simple drone model that won’t break the bank, but will still take some mind-boggling photos, is for sale online at Best Buy for under $100.
If you’re a beginner, the Ryze Tech Tello Quadcopter is a pretty good drone to start with because it is easy to fly. It is a mini drone with an HD camera, two antennas, and long flight times. Ryze Technologies says that even a “beginner” can control the drone “effortlessly.”
9. Birds Nest
Possible Drone Used: DJI Spark
Where to Buy: Amazon
Cost: $499*
Is it a giant animal head caught in a fence? Nope, it’s a gargantuan bird’s nest nestled in electric wire. This photo is so mind-bending that it’s strange to look at, but apparently, bird’s nests that large really do exist. While some see them from below, drones like the DJI Spark allow us to see them from a whole new level.
The DJI Spark is a fairly basic model compared to some of the other drones we’ve seen, but it shouldn’t be underestimated. It could take shots like this without too much fumbling, although its battery life isn’t quite as high as some newer versions.
The DJI Spark is also called the “Selfie Drone” by the company, but, as you can see, you can use it to take a range of photos, not just pictures of yourself. The Spark is currently not going to get a new iteration, though refurbished drones are still listed on the DJI website.
