Intuitive controller: Most drone controllers look similar, with two joysticks for controlling flight and a smattering of buttons for specific tasks.

But in special cases, a drone’s ability to fly an especially long distance without losing contact with a controller can be a useful feature. Long flight range: Federal rules say you must always keep a drone within your line of sight.Small drones lighter than 250 grams are also exempt from the requirement to register with the FAA. Some drones accomplish this by having foldable arms that make them more compact.

Portability: The best drones are portable enough to be an everyday tool, which means they are small and light enough to pack into a camera bag or backpack.

Additionally, we prefer drones that come preprogrammed with cinematic autonomous-flight modes with the touch of a button, you can tell a drone to follow you while you snowboard down a mountain, say, or fly in a circle while filming for a dramatic selfie.

Autonomous modes: Any video drone worth buying should have a fail-safe return-home mode that automatically brings the aircraft back to the launch point when you press a button or the drone loses contact with the controller.

We prefer drone batteries that last at least 30 minutes, and we recommend that pilots pick up a few extras (the batteries are rechargeable) so that they can spend more time in the field flying. But a shorter flight time means fewer shots, shorter videos, and less flexibility.

Long battery life: Longer-lasting batteries tend to be larger and weigh more, so manufacturers try to balance drone size with battery life.

A three-axis gimbal is a general industry standard.

Three-axis gimbal: A good gimbal, which stabilizes a camera attached to a drone with accelerometers and gyroscopes even when you are flying in wind or a jerky pattern, is essential if you want usable footage.

We consider only those models that can shoot at least 12-megapixel photos and 4K video.

High-quality camera: Generally, the more you pay for a photography drone, the better-quality camera you get.

Some new drones even have the ability to track approaching airplanes and helicopters so you can avoid flying into their path. This technology removes so much stress from flying that we are willing to consider only those drones that, at the very least, can sense obstacles approaching from their front, back, and bottom. Crash-avoidance sensors: Sensors in drones have come a long way, and you can now find some models that can sense obstacles approaching in any direction and adjust their flight path to avoid a crash.A quadcopter shape (or alternatives, like hexacopters, that add more arms) makes for the most stable photo and video because such models can steadily hold their position in the air. Quadcopter design: Drones shaped like planes do exist, but they’re not as easy to fly as quadcopter models shaped like an X.And the Air 2S can go with you almost anywhere: At 7 by 3.8 by 3 inches folded and 1.3 pounds, it fits exceptionally well in our top pick for drone backpacks. Its 31-minute battery life is long enough for you to grab several shots before landing for a battery swap. This model also features DJI smart flight modes such as ActiveTrack, which directs the drone to autonomously follow and film a subject while also avoiding obstacles. It can also hold its position steadily, even in moderate winds (DJI says it’s safe to fly in winds up to 23.9 mph during our testing, the drone had no problem flying in 10 mph winds), so you can focus on your cinematography instead of having to worry about keeping the drone steady. The Air 2S can sense and avoid obstacles approaching from the front, back, top, and below, and it can alert you to approaching aircraft. The DJI Air 2S package combines ease of flight with long battery life and a camera that can shoot 5.4K video (we recommend the Fly More Combo option because, among other things, it includes three rechargeable drone batteries).
