DJI Mavic Pro

DJI Mavic Pro

There are a ton of drones out there, but perhaps the year's most hyped (and rightfully so) is DJI's Mavic Pro ($749) -- a drone so small it rivals the size of a water bottle. Unlike others, it's light and foldable, so you can easily transport it in a bag.

It's nearly half the price and size of its flagship Phantom drone ($1,400), and it captures crisp photos and video via a 4K 12-megapixel camera and even has livestreaming integration.

But it's not cheap. More affordable drone options include the Parrot Mambo ($100) and the Syma X5C Explorers ($60).
