Consumer Drones Reach New Heights in 2025: Top Models for Aerial Views
TechRadar France has unveiled its ranking of the best drones for aerial views, based on in-depth testing. This guide offers options for photographers, videographers, and enthusiasts.
DJI Mini 4 Pro: The Best All-Round Drone
Weighing 249 grams, the DJI Mini 4 Pro escapes legal restrictions. Equipped with a 48 Mpx sensor and an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system, it is designed for creators seeking lightweight and professional quality. Experts praise its low-light performance.
DJI Mini 4K: An Affordable Option for Beginners
Priced under €300, the DJI Mini 4K offers 4K video and 31 minutes of autonomy. It is suitable for beginners but lacks obstacle avoidance sensors.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro: Excellence in Video
The DJI Mavic 3 Pro stands out with its triple camera (24 mm, 70 mm, 166 mm), a Hasselblad 4/3 sensor, and 43 minutes of autonomy. Designed for professionals, its high price is justified by its versatility.
Other Notable Models
- The DJI Air 3S is renowned for its versatility with two cameras and good wind resistance.
- The Autel Evo Lite+, a direct rival to DJI, stands out with its adjustable aperture and 40 minutes of flight time, ideal for landscapes.
- For beginners, the Ryze Tello offers 13 minutes of flight time and an intuitive app, all for under €100.
- The DJI Avata 2 is designed for immersive flight enthusiasts with an FPV headset and portable design.
Choosing the Right Drone
When selecting a drone, several criteria come into play: weight, autonomy, wind resistance, and regulation. Models under 250g, like the Mini 4 Pro, avoid registration. Autonomy varies from 13 minutes for the Tello to 46 minutes for the Mavic 3 Classic.
DJI Dominance and Autel's Rise
In 2025, DJI maintains its supremacy, but Autel is making its mark. Whether it's image quality, portability, or price, each model responds to specific needs. Emmanuelle Soubelet, Editor-in-Chief of TechRadar, notes, "No drone does everything, but the right model will transform your creative vision."
Tunisia's Drone Industry Hindered by Lack of Clear Legislation
However, in Tunisia, the growth of the drone industry is still hindered by the absence of a clear and adapted legislative framework. Any use currently requires multiple authorizations from the Ministries of the Interior, Defense, Transport, and Equipment, thus slowing down sector development.
