What types of drones are there?

The short answer is that it depends on how you look at it.

One way to categorize the types of drones on the market is to divide them into those used primarily by commercial drone pilots, who fly for work, and those used mainly by recreational drone pilots, who fly for fun. A second way to look at drone types is to divide them up based on their design.

In general, drones fall into two distinct groups when looked at this way. In one group, you have multi propeller drones, which are drones that fly using two or more propellers. In the other group, you have fixed-wing drones, which are drones that—you guessed it—have two fixed propellers.

Mainly drones are classified according to construction and way of flying, size, the scope of the flight, equipment, application and cost (price). There are so many varieties of drones that you can easily find in the world, and they all have different applications, so we cannot define specific criteria for their classification. In this article, we will present to you only a few types of drones that are available both on the market and in our online store.

There are four main types of drones that we will look at. They all have different functions and are suitable for various purposes:

  • Drones for beginners
  • Hobby drones
  • Professional drones
  • Racing drones

Beginner's drones are accessible because of the small cost and can fly at short distances and short times. They are straightforward to operate and with a solid body to withstand lighter shocks. The spare parts for them are cheap and easy to find. They are suitable for people who want to fly them for pleasure and do not want to spend thousands of BGN. Anyone who has not worked with a drone so far should start with this type of drone and after gaining some experience, they can switch to a larger one.

Hobby drones are also suitable for beginner photographers and more experienced users who have some experience flying drones. Of course, there are huge benefits from taking beautiful shots from the sky - different angles and positions that only a drone can offer. Models you can find in our online store include DJI Mavic Mini, Zerotech Dobby, Tello and if you have a slightly larger budget DJI Mavic Air.

Professional drones are for photographers and artists who want to take their work to the highest level, as well as people, who work in industry. They are suitable for people who want to make money from drones. Let’s not forget that these aircraft have a long-range and flight distance and are very fast. They can handle almost any task. Keep in mind that their price is not low at all, but if you are a professional or want to become one - the investment is justified. Models that we at Copter.bg can offer you are Phantom 4 Pro V2.0, DJI Inspire 2, DJI Matrice 200 V2, DJI Agras MG-1S and many others that you can view on our site.

Racing drones are for people who enjoy high speeds and agility and are ready to raise their adrenaline levels. They are aimed mainly at the more experienced pilots and because of their speed they are challenging to control and can crash in no time. If you want to know what a drone really can do, then you must drive a race drone. But keep in mind that once you start flying at such high speeds, you will probably have to make relatively frequent repairs.
