Best Drones for Adults – (Drones aren’t just for kids!)

Last Updated on January 19, 2025

Captivating vidos in this drone for adults


We are a family of drone hobbyists and multi-rotor enthusiasts. I can tell you that being an adult doesn’t provide much of (if any) advantage over your teenage children. Drones for beginners, are not always suitable drones for kids who may need adult supervision to safely fly drones.

You’ll find all of the drones we list come with an HD 1080 or 4k camera. Most adults or young adults will want a camera for photos and videos to share with their friends and family.

Below is a short list of features to consider when buying your drone for the true beginner. Or you can use the quick links to jump strait to the reviews.

Drones for Adults – What should I look for in a drone?

We often get the question, What should I look for in a drone? The answer depends on why you are buying a drone, the features you want and your budget:

    • What is your purpose? Just for fun to zip-around your house? Or, you are a photography enthusiasts looking for a camera drone? Speed and a racing drone on your mind? DIY drones?
    • Price. Set a budget for yourself and include in the budget the cost of replacing the quadcopter after you crash it a few times.
    • Size. Drones are typically available in certain sizes. Indoor drones – look for a 250 drone (250mm, 9.8 inches) for indoor use. Outdoor drones – a 350 (350mm, 13.8 inches) drone for outdoor use. A 450 (450mm, 17.7 inches) would probably be used when you are buying for commercial projects. If you are planning to join a racing league, find out what their rules say. Most leagues limit the entrants to 250 and some leagues are even more specific.
    • Flight time. Typically a 10 minutes per charge for a 250 drone. A 350 quadcopter will get a few more minutes of flight time. Think about removable battery and bring extra battery for an additional set of flight time.
    • Standard and special features to consider

-GPS and ‘return to home’, if you want an outdoor drone with long flying range.
-Controls / monitor. Some people prefer the VR (Virtual Reality) goggles, others prefer to have the monitor built into the controller. Also, if you pick the right controller it can be used for more than one rig (quadcopter).
– Are you looking to race drones? If so, First Person View (FPV) is a key feature.
-A camera that can look sideways to record the scenery or a particular view in HD.
-Removable battery. This will allow you to swap battery packs and fly another mission.
-Obstacle avoidance capability

DJI’s Mavic Mini 2 drone sets the standard for mini drones. This DJI Drone is a refined piece of technology where form and function merge. It’s light weight, folds into a small package and is feature rich. The 31 minute flight time is an industry best for a mini drone.

The photos and video are stunning from this small drone. It can capture 12MP images and can stream 2.7k HD videos that are amazingly smooth, this is thanks to a 3-axis motorized gimbal that provides stability for the camera. The Mini 2 also has a 4x zoom feature that makes it easy to get clearer pictures that are focused on smaller objects.

Because the Mavic Mini weighs under 250 grams you won’t have to register this drone with the FAA.

The mini comes with 3 flight modes that you can switch between. Position mode works when GPS is available and works to stabilize the craft. The flight speed in this mode is 8 m/s. In Sport Mode the drone still uses GPS but is optimized for agility and is more responsive to stick movement. Maximum speed in this mode is 13 m/s. In CineSmooth mode flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting. Maximum flight speed is 4 m/s.

When running in Position Mode, there is a fourth mode that the drone will switch to automatically called attitude mode or ATTI when the vision system is unavailable/disabled and when the GPS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference.

If you are a beginner that would like to get serious about areal photography and video the DJI Mavic Mini is the drone for you.



DJI Mini 2 includes the following:

  • 1 x DJI Mavic Mini 2 Drone
  • 1 x DJI Mavic Mini Remote Controller

DJI Spark is a smart drone for a beginner. Why? The Spark requires no assembly. It is easy to setup after you charge up its battery and download its DJI GO 4 app. You can control this quadcopter using via DJI GO 4 app, or you can control the Spark using hand gesture (a tool we have since we were born). In the Gesture Control mode, Spark will move up, down, left or right, and take a picture of you – all controlled by your hand movement! Hand gesture controls make it easier for the pilot to control the quadcopter. When you are learning how to pilot a quadcopter, features which make it easier to pilot, are important when selecting beginner drones.

A quick glance at the spec of DJI Spark:

  • Flight time = 16 minutes
  • Control range = 1.2 mile
  • Top speed = 31 mph in Sport Mode
  • 2-Axis Stabilized Gimbal
  • Camera is mounted on a gimbal
  • 12MP Still Photos / 1080p/30 Video
  • Gesture and TapFly Control
  • Flight Autonomy with Obstacle Detection
  • Subject Tracking from Various Angles
  • GPS- & Vision Position-Based Navigation
  • Control, Edit, Share with DJI GO App

DJI Spark is created by one of the leaders in the drone industry, DJI. This smart drone has many of the high-performance drone features such as flight autonomy with obstacle detection, subject tracking, GPS and vision based navigation – features to aid a beginner to learn how to pilot a quadcopter sooner.

My neighbors just loved watching me control it with hand movements. A great beginner drone and a great way to make friends.


Movements by Hand Gestures

  • Rocket (shoot straight up, with camera pointing down.)
  • Dronie (fly out with the camera aimed back at you.)
  • Circle (fly in a circle around a target)
  • Helix (Fly upward, spiraling around a subject)
  • And up, down, left or right, and take a picture of you – all controlled by your hand gestures!



We do like this drone its colorful fun and made with quality components. However, we’d remise if we didn’t mention DJI is focused on the Mavic line now. If you want to be sure parts for your drone are available down the line, the DJI Mavic Mini mentioned earlier is a safer choice.

Where can I fly my drone?

An open area without obstructions and not near body of waters is a good practice area to fly your quadcopters. Flying in the wind is not advised. Check out our blog on tips to fly your first drone, including things not to do when flying a drone and drone etiquette. You may want to learn about flying responsibly, and no-fly zones by visiting the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) website.

Based on our personal experience, some of the uncommon places to practice your piloting skills including (of course, we obtained permission first before flying):

  • High-school gym. It is big enough to practice a lot of move and since there is no wind you can control the flight very well.
  • Meeting rooms or the ballroom of the hotel for the business traveler.
  • Auditorium of a local church (not the sanctuary, of course)

A quick tip: check the range of the controller. Do not exceed about 80% of specified the range. Most quadcopters that get lost are “flyways”. This happens when the quadcopter is in RC (Radio Control) mode and exceeds the range of the controller. If your controller is good for about 100 feet, make sure that you keep the quadcopter within about 80 feet. Either put new batteries in the controller every time you go out, or get a controller that will alert you when you have a low battery.

FAQ – Best Drone for Adult Beginner

There are a few families that meet together in this area to fly our quadcopters and small RC craft. It seems that there is almost always a beginner or two there when we meet. We have received several requests to put together a FAQ section for “Drones for Beginners”, here are the questions and answers:

How can I tell if a drone will be easy to use?

If you just want “easy” a couple of the lower priced drones are going to be a good product for you, but if you think that you want use the drone as a learning tool, you should not be looking for “easy”, look for one that you can use and can learn on. You want to buy a quadcopter that you will want to continue using for a while. It should have more capabilities than you are ready to use right now.

There are a few factors that go into making a quadcopter easy or difficult to use. The biggest factors deal with controlling the flight of the quadcopter and controlling the camera on the quadcopter. Let’s deal with flight control.

Almost all quadcopters are controlled by two sticks (joy sticks). The few quadcopters that do not require joy sticks are so automated that they are in a different category. The two joy stick controller type quadcopters are all controlled in a standard way. The big difference in these quadcopters is in the degree of responsiveness in each product. Racing quadcopters are very responsive, but a responsive quadcopter being used to shoot videos can result in jerky video. If you are shooting a video you want the quadcopter to move smoothly and gradually. The bigger quadcopters have more mass and tend respond a little slower and with some lag. My suggestion is that a beginner will make mistakes and will want to correct them immediately. The beginner wants something that is light weight and will respond quickly. Any lag will be frustrating. Later you will be looking for smooth flight and lag may be advantageous. Part of the smoothness of the flight will certainly come from the pilot’s ability to control the quadcopter and that takes skill, practice and time.

The second big factor is controlling the camera. Some quadcopters are complex enough that some people actually use two pilots for video shoots, one to control the flight path and one to control the camera. Look for a quadcopter which has “headless” mode. These quadcopters require the least skill in the “camera control” department. After you develop flight control skills, the camera control will be fairly easy.

Indoor drone or outdoors drone?

If you are planning to fly indoors, look for a small, lightweight quadcopter. You want something that will not break things (like a flat-screen TV) when the quadcopter hits them. In general you want to start with an indoor drone because it will cost less. If you select an outdoor type quadcopter to use as your beginner drone, you will need to be mindful of certain restrictions.

If you don’t have a room that is big enough to fly a small quadcopter, you will need to fly outside. An outside quadcopter will be bigger and more expensive. It needs to be able to fly when there is a light breeze. If the quadcopter can’t fly against a 20 MPH head wind you probably shouldn’t fly it outside.

Does a beginner need to consider camera quality?

You may not even need a camera on your first quadcopter. Learning how to control the quadcopter is a big enough task without considering the camera. If you do get a camera, the quality of the images will not be important.

Does a beginner need to consider flight time?

Obviously longer flight time will be more fun, but it will increase the cost. Small indoor quadcopters can usually fly 5 to 7 minutes. If you get two batteries, you can fly for a few minutes, swap batteries and get 10 to 15 minutes of flight time before having to put it away for recharge. Smaller, less expensive outdoor quadcopters may fly a bit longer, but not enough to make spectacular difference.

Does a beginner need to consider flight range?

The short answer is no. A beginner needs to keep their quadcopter in sight at all times. In most cases the law requires this.

Does a beginner need to know about their plans for their future use of their first drone after they have some flying experience?

Quadcopters are fairly fragile. You will probably break a few quadcopters before you will consider yourself “intermediate” level.

Does a beginner need to know how to operate the transmitter first?

Yes. Read through the instructions. You may have a few things to do before you fly it the first time – some as simple as charging the battery, some steps may be more complex.

Does a beginner need to know about the drone orientation?

Drone orientation refers to the direction that the drone flies. For example, I can fly my drone sideways or backward or forward. If you have “headless” mode, it doesn’t matter which direction is “front”. This may be a little confusing, but it really does make it easier to control. When you start using a camera, you will need to be concerned about which direction is “front”.

Does a beginner need to know where to fly, not to fly, and flying rules?

Maybe. If you are flying outside, a big YES. If you are flying inside, not so much.

Indoors flights – make sure that you have permission to fly in the room or indoor space.

Do not fly near (see FAA regulation for definition of “near”) airports, emergency scenes such as traffic accidents, wild fires or police response. Quadcopters can endanger people’s lives and emergency response air craft.
– Do not fly above 400 feet. Above 400 feet you may endanger people’s lives or emergency response air craft.
– Outdoors flights – FAA regulations apply. In particular that you should understand:
