The Best Drones to Take on Holiday in 2024
Kicking off the Year With a Holiday in the Colder Climates?
While many lucky people flee to the sunshine to avoid the winter months, others seek out the cold. Ski seasons and colder holidays are rife throughout January, February, March, and April in Europe.
Although we all have our individual holiday preferences, I believe we can agree that capturing the thrill of your holiday in a beautifully shot video or images will take your trip to another level.
GoPro footage and smartphone selfies are great, but they can only go so far in creating the best digital document of your trip away. If you want to level up your ski or snowboard footage, you’ll need a drone.
So, What’s the Best Drone for Your Snow Holiday?
Generally speaking, the following features are all key when choosing a good snowsport drone:
Follow-me technology
Obstacle avoidance
Stability
Flight time
Image and video quality
Ease of use
Compact for travel
The flagship for all compact drones, and essentially the best ski drone you can get for your money, is the DJI Mavic 3 Pro.
With its fantastic camera quality, stand-out video stabilisation, and advanced follow-me mode, it’s the top voice for capturing the very best fast-action footage.
Key features include:
Unrivaled Tri-Camera Flagship Imaging
Up To 43 Minutes Of Flight Time
Industry-Leading Performance
Dual Tele Cameras
5.1K/50fps
As much as we recommend this drone and can testify that it is lots of fun, it's not just a toy, hence the higher price point. With that in mind, if you’re just wanting to grab a few quick snaps of your holiday to show the family, this probably isn't the drone for you.
However, if you’re looking for long-lasting quality, an investment, and want to properly get into drone photography, or ski/snowboard photography and videography, this is more than just a great snowsport drone. This is the best drone money can buy.
Looking For Something More Readily Available?
An alternative to the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, would be the more affordable, perfectly compact, lightweight, and user-friendly, DJI Mini 4 Pro.
This model is perfect for pilots just entering the world of drones as it’s simple to use, it's super compact, and travel-savvy. It’s also priced under £1000, so you’re essentially getting the best features such as collision avoidance, follow-me tracking, and top-quality images for less.
Key features include:
4K/60fps HDR Video
34 Minute Flight Time
20KM Video Transmission
360° ActiveTrack
OcuSync 4.0
The Best Drone for a Holiday of Fun in the Sun
Both the DJI Mavic 3 Pro and DJI Mini 4 Pro would be perfect for any holiday, whether you're in the sun or snow. However, there is another that often takes the favourite as the best drone to take away with you on your travels... The DJI Mini 2 SE.
This humble drone is priced at a very reasonable £309 and is so compact that it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand and weighs less than 249g, making it ideal for long trips, packing light, or moving from place to place.
The DJI Mini 2 SE is a non-complicated and reliable travel companion for any trip that 2024 has in store for you.
Key features include:
31 Minutes Flight Time
4 x Zoom
Powerful Camera

Crystal Clear Pictures
