The best drones for private use come from DJI. The market leader has the right aircraft for every budget in its range. They are all easy to control, have many functions on board and bring home impressive photos and videos. For an extra charge, the Mini 4 offers 4K resolution and better collision protection, while the Air 3 comes with a second telephoto camera.

Revell and Rollei are aimed at hobby filmmakers in terms of price, but only offer unsteady and risky flights. Beginners need a lot of patience and talent to avoid crash landings. The same applies to both: videos and photos leave a lot to be desired. If you want crisp, sharp and wobble-free aerial shots, you'd better go for a DJI for just under 400 euros.
