Best Upcoming Drones of 2020

5. DJI Mavic Mini (2020)

DJI has been producing some truly incredible flying machines for years. Many hobbyists tend to buy drones from other brands only because DJI does not offer ultralight machines. Yes, there is Spark and Mavic Air. But they are still heavy when compared to some of the other drones in the market.

Now, there is a piece of exciting news that DJI is coming up with a drone that only weighs 250 grams. The cool thing is it will feature a ADS-B receiver. ADS-B receiver helps the drone to catch the signals of helicopters and airplanes in the range.

DJI Mavic Mini is already grabbing lots of attention from the drone enthusiasts. There are lots of rumors and leaked photos on drone blogs. If at least 50% of them are true, DJI Mavic Mini is undoubtedly one of the best drones of 2020.

6. Mavic 3 Pro (One of the best drones 2020)

It’s already been a while, the Mavic Pro 2 was launched. There are no big releases in 2019 from DJI. The leading drone manufacturer is all geared up to launch Mavic Pro 3 in January 2020. Mavic Pro 2 is still the best professional drone and it has put nails in the coffins for other drone manufacturers.

The expectations are sky-rocketed among drone enthusiasts! Many of them are worried about the price as it Pro series usually breaks the bank.

According to some predictions, DJI is working on reducing the weight and still manage to deliver the rock-solid flight. So, if you are saving up money for purchasing a new drone in 6 or 8 months, better wait till the launch of Mavic Pro 3.

AirSense technology on 2020 drones

This is an important notice from DJI that they will be adding AirSense technology into their upcoming drones which are released after 1st Jan 2020 and weighs more than 250g out of the box. This feature will help to detect airplanes and helicopters through DAS-B receiver when even they are not visible from naked eyes.

However, this feature has been already introduced in some of the high-end drones from DJI like Matrice series and the Mavic 2 Enterprise. This type of features are going to be game-changer in the future, drone technology is evolving very fast and this makes us think more about safety.

We also believe that other well-known drone manufacturers will also introduce similar technology into their best drones of 2020. But still, there is no official announcement from any of them.
