Who doesn’t want to fly? As drones get easier to use, we can get really close to the feeling of taking to the skies. Along with getting better, they’re also becoming more affordable, so even people on a budget can join the ranks of hobby pilots. One of the best names in the business is DJI, and they’ve got a pair of options that offer a great way into the world of drones.

Ryze Tech Tello Quadcopter Powered by DJI – $99
The DJI Tello Quadcopter is great for beginner flyers and pilots on a budget. It sports electronic image stabilization, so you can automatically take off and land without risk of accidentally flipping over or smashing into the ground. Low-battery protection means it won’t suddenly drop dead from the sky. But with 13 minutes of life on a single charge, you can get a good run before that happens. And a slim form factor with Intel processor allows for easy aerial acrobatics. Maybe the best part, you can do this all straight from your smartphone. Or, if you’re fancy, you can fly with a VR headset thanks to the built-in 720p camera.
