DJI Mini 2

£419 / stuff.tv/djimini2

Just light enough to avoid having to be registered with the CAA, DJI’S latest pocket drone is a little beast that grabs stellar aerial video. It’s also categorically the most intuitive drone Stuff has ever used, with a controller that’s a multi-function marvel: the basic stick controls are all you really need to get started, with everything the camera sees displayed in real time on your phone using the DJI Fly app. Best of all, unlike the old Mavic Mini, it’s capable of shooting in 4K.

Fly, shoot, repeat: DJI’S latest dinky drone soars above the competition

DJI Mavic Air 2 £769 / stuff.tv/mavicair2

DJI has built on the platform of a simple entry-level drone and thrown in a heap of pro features, so those dipping a toe into aerial photography or videography no longer have to put up with mediocre content.

This is DJI’S finest sub-£1k flyer yet

Gopro Hero9 Black £330 / stuff.tv/h9b

It’s bulkier than the Hero8 Black and needs an add-on to match its ultra-wide video… but better image detail, battery life and features make this one of the most versatile bits of filming and photography kit we’ve used.

The pinnacle of action-cam excellence

Gopro Hero8 Black ★★★★★ £280 / stuff.tv/h8b

Overtaken by the Hero9 Black… but this is still arguably a better option if you don’t need 5K.

Nextbase 622GW ★★★★★ £249 / stuff.tv/622gw

Much more than just a dash cam – and bordering on a bargain.
