Drone photography has become a common part of the industry for professionals, but the practice has yet to trickle down to any but the most dedicated hobbyists; 'Fairy Drone' is a new tool that makes it easy for people of any experience level to get the sweeping vistas of drone photography and videography.
While the Fairy Drone can't compete with the most advanced drones in the industry, it also isn't designed to. Top tier drones cost far more than most consumers with a passing interest would be willing to spend, so at $99, the Fairy Drone's biggest value proposition is its accessibility.
That said, the Fairy still packs plenty of power and usability. It has easy flying controls, a 1080p FHD camera, automatic tracking, motion control, and a 16-minute fly time.
