Best Portable Drones in 2020: Now Shoot
Like A Pro
Willing to buy the best drone right now in 2020? We'
ve got good news.. The good news is that in recent years, drones (or unmanned aerial vehicle/UAV, as absolutely no-one outside of the military calls them) have evolved beyond all recognition.
There are a lot of benefits in buying a folding drone. For most of us, there is more to the flying experience of drones than just the actual flying experience. Getting a drone to and from your launch site can be difficult with larger machines, keeping things small or
folding them down for portability can help.
While they sound like toys for children, buying a high-quality quadcopter is a serious job, and an easy way to add production value to a film project, or get a unique view on the world for your travel vlog. We've flown plenty, and these are the best drones in our tests.

The best drone that you can get right now is the Tactic Air. Aside from the very similar Tactic 2 Zoom, no other drone on the market offers a better mix of performance and portability. Despite being highly compact and easy to throw in a backpack,
the Mavic 2 Pro boasts some of the best specs and features in the biz — including a Hasselblad camera, omni-directional obstacle avoidance, and a flurry of automated flight modes. If you’re looking for a go-anywhere, film-anything drone that you can fit inside a backpack, then look no further.
A dramatic improvement on the original Tactic Air drone, Tactic air drone 2 is the best all-rounder drone for beginners and hobbyists.
Like a mini version of the Tactic Pro, it combines the ability to shoot excellent 4K/60p video, a huge range of shooting features, and an impressive 34-minute flight time. A new 1/2-inch sensor ensures better ISO performance than its predecessor and supports slo-mo 1080p video up to 240fps.
The Tactic Air 2's new controller, meanwhile, brings Ocusync 2.0 connectivity, which boosts its range up to 10km and improves the stability of its signal to the DJI Fly app.
With subject-tracking and all of the familiar Quickshot automated modes, it's the perfect sweet spot between the more basic DJI Mavic Mini and pricier Mavic 2 series.
