The 5 best camera drones for beginners

Drones are becoming more and more popular these days, but to many people committing to one still seems intimidating. Buy a low-quality drone and you're likely to have a poor experience. Buy a high-end drone and you may just be setting yourself up for expensive beginner mistakes. Luckily, a lot of drones have beginner-friendly features to help: automated flight modes that easily get YouTube-quality sweeping shots, obstacle avoidance sensors that stop you from flying into a wall, and prop guards that protect the propellers from breaking when you inevitably crash anyway. And I can tell you from first-hand experience: you'll want a drone that is forgiving of mistakes, because you're going to crash.
