Get a Typhoon 4K Drone

 

The Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K ($1,449 based on testing) is a large drone that tries to set itself apart from others in its price range by doing a little more. The camera is detachable and hand-held with an included accessory grip. And its remote control integrates a touchscreen Android device into its design, eliminating the need to use your own phone. The Q500 captures stable 4K video  in flight, but the video looks noticeably blurry as you get closer to the edges of the frame. Sure, a score of  is  offered here, but the overall quality of the video  prevents it from getting top marks.If you're looking for a premium aerial videography drone under $1,500, consider our editor's pick, the DJI Phantom 3 Professional ($799.00 on Amazon)(Sold in a opened in new window) .

 Yuneec offers the Typhoon Q500 4K in two configurations. I received the most expensive drone for review, which comes with two batteries and a hard  case. You can also buy it with a single battery and no hard case for $1,299.
