Best Drones 2016: Consumers Eye Budget Drones DJI Phantom 3, Air Wars Battle Drones, & Bionic Bird As Best Gifts This Holiday Season

While it is easy to point out which Drones are the best in the market, it is actually very hard to look for reliable, budget-friendly ones. We've searched all over the web to see which drones gets the nod of consumers and their pockets.

DJI has been dubbed as the best brand to select when it comes to drones. However, its latest models can hit up to $1,000 or more. Little did some people know, especially those who did not have enough time to go on a research, that DJI actually has a budget-friendly drone.

Anyone can get a DJI Phantom 3 (Standard) drone at a cost of $499. Although the standard version does not have the 4K resolution yet, users say it already serves its purpose in a much professional way. Its flying modes are pretty basic, too, and it does not have the most innovative controls DJI has already offered lately. But if all a consumer want now is a budget-friendly drone to give to their loved ones, DJI Phantom 3 definitely hits the spot.

Critics also eye Air Wars Battle Drones as a good choice for a christmas gift. This is specifically for parents who are dying to get their kids some toy drones to play with the whole of next year. Air Wars is, by far, the best option among all the not-so-high-end toy drones in the market. The package comes with two toy drones, allowing kids to go on a battle. It only costs $87.99.

Included in our selection is the Bionic Bird. As its name suggests, the drone device actually looks like a black bird. Today, it is priced at $105, a pretty good deal for anyone who is looking for some budget-friendly drone. Creator Edwin Van Ruymbeke says that the Bionic Bird is "the only machine that doesn't scare the real birds." Check the video down below to see other Best Drones in the year 2016.
