About

A drone gives you a new perspective for photos and video, whether you are capturing a holiday, landscape or professional project. From compact travel models to advanced camera drones, there are options for beginners and experienced pilots. When you buy a drone, consider where you will fly, the camera quality you need and how portable you want your kit to be. You should also understand the Australian flying rules before taking off. Find the Right Type of Drone Drones vary in size, camera capability and flight features. Start with what you plan to capture and where you expect to fly. Compact Drones Under 250g Small, lightweight drones are easy to carry and suit travel and recreational flying. The sub-250g category also affects some Australian rules around controlled airports. Mid-Range Camera Drones These models balance portability with stronger camera and flight features. They suit travel, landscapes and photographers looking for an aerial companion to their cameras or action cameras . Professional and Cinema Drones Larger camera drones can offer bigger sensors, higher-quality recording and more advanced controls. They suit experienced pilots working on professional photo and video projects. FPV Drones FPV drones provide a first-person view for a more immersive flying experience.

Flight time: Real flight time can vary with wind, temperature, speed and battery condition. Obstacle sensing: Sensors can help detect obstacles, but
