What to look for in professional drones

1. Camera Quality

For professional use, opt for a drone with a high-quality camera. Look for features like 4K video resolution, high megapixel count, and a large sensor size for low-light performance.

2. Flight Time

The longer a drone can stay in the air on a single charge, the more footage you can capture. Professional drones should have at least 20 minutes of flight time.

3. Range

A longer range allows you to fly the drone farther without losing control. Most professional drones should have a range of at least 1 kilometer.

4. Stability and GPS

Look for drones with advanced stabilization features and GPS for smooth footage and precise flying. Some drones even offer autonomous flying modes.
