Test Report

10 Drones 12/2017

Only ten years ago, spectacular aerial photographs were still associated with great expense: You needed rope bridges with camera carts, overhanging cranes or helicopters with professional pilots. Today, small remote-controlled aircraft provide breathtaking images from a bird's eye view: drones. We tested ten battery-powered quadrocopters at prices between 125 and 1 940 euros. The best video quality and flight characteristics cost at least 1,100 euros.
