Pros + Cons

Pro
 Great video and photo capturing capabilities

The Halo Drone comes equipped with a great 4K camera capable of capturing high-quality photos and videos. It comes with a lens that has a 115 degrees FOV and that can take smooth videos and pictures with little to no shakiness. It can record videos at different resolutions and framerates. However, the max. framerate depends on the resolution the video is being captured in: 4K up to 30FPS UHD up to 60FPS FHD up to 60FPS HD up to 120FPS
Comment

Pro
 Extremely portable

The Halo Drone is very portable and can easily be taken anywhere with you. It weighs around 1.3kg and has a diagonal length of 430mm. What's more, is that all four arms are foldable which greatly decreases the size and lets you put it in a normal backpack easily. The foldable design also protects the delicate parts of the drone and keeps them from getting damaged when carrying the drone around.
Comment

Pro
 Camera can be used without the drone

This drone's camera can be removed and used as a standalone camera.
Comment

Pro
 7 advanced follow modes

This drone comes with 7 different smart follow modes that you can use to shot video automatically, while the drone follows you, or another target, around.
Comment

Pro
 Good build quality

The Halo drone is made from high quality materials which do not break easily. It's very sturdy and feels great to the touch.
Comment

Pro
 Very stable

Overall, the Halo is a very strong and stable drone that does not lose control under strong winds.
Comment

Pro
 Relatively fast

The Halo Drone can reach speeds of up to 45mph.
Comment

Pro
 Excellent sensor

Built with a Sony IMX377 sensor.
Comment

Pro
 Decent flight times

The battery lasts an average of 22 minutes of flight time. This is a pretty decent battery life, when compared to other drones at this price range.
Comment

Pro
 Great design

The Halo Drone has a sleek, modern design with a grey body and orange highlights.
Comment

Con
 Camera settings can't be changed from the app or remote

The camera capture settings can only be set before flying since the app and remote do not have support for changing them.
Comment

Con
 Camera is weak compared to competitors

Comment

Pro
 Camera can be removed

You can take off the 4k camera and use it for other sports.
Comment

Pro
 High quality shots

Despite its small size, the Mavic Pro’s camera has practically the same specifications as more expensive and larger drone cameras. With it, you can take breathtaking shots without being worried about quality. It even has a 3-axis gimbal to keep the camera stable while the drone is flying, a feature not usually found on compact drones.
Comment

Pro
 Fast

The drone can reach speeds up to 65 km/h and it can also change altitude rather quickly.
Comment

Pro
 Easy to carry around

Travelers will be especially happy about the drone’s slim body and easily foldable arms. When folded, the drone is about the size of a brick and can be transported with ease, making it an extremely compact 4K-capable drone. Unlike some other larger drones, the Mavic Pro’s camera is situated up the front of the drone, further reducing its size. Its remote is also travel-friendly, given that it’s also very compact.
Comment

Pro
 Easily adjustable focus

You can adjust the focus of the camera by tapping on the object on the live view screen.
Comment

Pro
 Frequent software updates

DJI constantly updates its drone's firmware and companion apps, adding new functionalities and improving existing ones.
Comment

Pro
 Stays stable even under strong winds

Thanks to all its sensors, design and powerful motors, this is one of the most stable small drones in the market. It stays almost perfectly still even under strong breezes.
Comment

Pro
 Has advanced algorithms for autonomous flying

This drone’s software includes some clever autonomous flying algorithms that can be easily configured and activated via the smartphone companion app. You can predefine flying paths, set the drone to follow an object, or fly at a certain constant distance from the ground, following topographic changes. This means that you don’t have to worry about controlling the drone while you’re hands are occupied on something else, such as climbing a hill.
Comment

Con
 Video may be jerky due to fragile gimbal assembly

The gimbal is held together with three rubber bands that tend to snap, making the video jerky.
Comment

Con
 Performs poorly in low light scenarios

Because of the small sensor size and the relatively limited ISO range, this drone's camera struggles heavily in low light conditions.
Comment

Pro
 Flying consumes less battery than hovering

The Mavic Pro drone has been designed in a way that it will operate longer when it is moving around and not hovering in the same place. The difference is small, though: a full battery should last for around 24 minutes on hovering and for around 27 minutes on flying. These times are excellent for a small drone.
Comment

Pro
 Gestures can be used to take shots

This drone's camera can be activated via physical gestures, which can be especially useful for taking selfies: this way, you don't have to use the remote and worry about it showing up on the shots.
Comment

Pro
 Can be used indoors and in tight spaces

The Mavic Pro can be set to tripod mode and used to film indoors or in other tight settings, where precision is needed. Once the drone is set to tripod mode, its speed is limited to approximately 2 mph and control input sensitivity is reduced, increasing the accuracy of commands sent to the drone.
Comment

Pro
 Wide range of accessories of DJI accessories available

You can buy external batteries, bags, propeller guards, filters, even a battery-to-power-bank adapter. Many of its accessories are much cheaper than other drone's accessories.
Comment

Pro
 Convenient special bundle for travelers

You can buy this drone as a “Fly More Combo” that includes additional batteries, extra props, a backpack and other accessories that make traveling with the drone easier. This is much more economical than buying the items separately.
Comment

Pro
 Easy to fly

Just unfold the drone, set its mode (“fly only” or “camera”), and use the remote to operate it. No need to set up the drone blades, as they reposition themselves once the motors are activated and takeoff can be done automatically. It even senses objects that are close, in order to crashing into them. If its battery level gets critically low or its loses signal to the remote, it automatically sets course back to where it took off and land there.
Comment

 Batteries are cheap and easy to charge

Extra batteries for this drone are rather cheap and only take 40 minutes to charge. This is an important point, given that a Con of this is drone is it's short battery life (only 12 minutes).
Comment

Con
 Rather disappointing battery life

This drone’s flight time, due to the small battery size, is not great: it can only stay in the air for about 12 minutes (if there are no strong winds), before it force-lands. On the plus side, it ships with two batteries, so you can quickly swap them. It takes about 40 minutes to charge a battery.
Comment

Con
 Can’t automatically avoid obstacles

There are no additional sensors that monitor the surroundings around the drone, so you need to be careful while operating it not to crash it against anything. This is true even when the drone is set to any of the automated modes: it can crash while following or orbiting you.

 Flying and filming can be operated independently

This drone has a dedicated live feed camera stabilized with a two-axis gimbal and two remotes, allowing one user to fly the drone while the other user controls the filming camera. This allows you to safely fly and monitor the drone’s flight (using the front-facing camera), while another operator takes shots with the filming camera. The only flaw is that the controllers need to be within 100 meters of each other to work.

 Over-reliance on GPS may lead to random drifting

The Karma doesn’t have any obstacle avoidance or downward sensors, relying solely on its GPS signal. This means it may drift randomly in the air if the GPS signal isn’t strong enough.

 Has built-in obstacle avoidance

The Phantom 4 Pro has an advanced 5-direction obstacle avoidance system, unlike other drones with only forward/downward facing sensors. This greatly minimizes the risk of crashing when flying backwards or to a side with limited visibility. The sensors also allow greater control and stability when flying indoors. However, obstacle avoidance in all directions only works in two flight modes: beginner and tripod. In standard flying mode, only the front and rear sensors work. The obstacle sensing range is 30 meters in all directions, the obstacle avoidance system range goes from 0.2m to 7m, and the max speed for obstacle avoidance is 50 km/h (31 mph).
