4. Lightning Over Kuala Lumpur
Possible Drone Used: Swellpro Splashdrone 3+
Where to Buy: Amazon
Cost: $2920*
Flying a drone in awful weather can be a complete disaster. After all, these are expensive pieces of technology that shouldn’t be messed with. Of course, there are companies that have thought of everything, including the makers of the Swellpro Splashdrone 3+.
At almost $3,000 on Amazon, these flying titans aren’t cheap, but you can’t put a price on incredibly timed shots like this. The lightning striking the busy city of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia is both stunning and eerie to look at. It was a case of right place, right time – right drone.
If you’re having sticker shock, you shouldn’t, as the features on this drone make it well-deserving of its high price. The SplashDrone 3+ has multiple layers of weather protection, which help keep it safe and return home. If you lose the controller signal (like in a lightning storm), the 3+ will simply return to its starting point.
5. Face in a Grain Field
Possible Drone Used: DJI Mavic Air 2
Where to Buy: Amazon
Cost: $1,000*
This shot of a grain field makes it look like there’s a face in it, looking up and smiling like a gentle bearded old man. However, while the photo is undeniably wonderful to look at, it wouldn’t take quite as advanced of a drone as some of the others we’ve seen.
The DJI Mavic Air 2 is largely hailed as a great all-rounder for anyone looking to get into the drone game. Its mid-range price is palatable and you could still get insane aerial shots like this with a bit of practice. We love a Sony camera, but can they do this?
The Air 2 has high-ending imaging features, as well as powerful flight performance. Thanks to its half-inch sensor, it’s able to capture amazing trick shots like this one. The Air 2 has 2,320 reviews on Google, and it has an amazing 5 out of 5 stars, indicating that people love this drone.
