Drones are more affordable and accessible than ever, giving the average consumer a chance to capture amazing aerial footage with just a little practice. But with so many new models on the market, how can you decide which aerial robot is right for you? Prices range from $30 to tens of thousands of dollars. And there is a spectrum of capabilities, from toy helicopters to technology that was, until recently, used only by the military. You could try and read all the reviews out there, but who has the time? You need to a simple, efficient way to find an answer. I've put together a handy flow chart that will walk you through this difficult and life-changing decision. Embrace the drone my friends (well, not literally).
