Best Available Foldable Drones

Drones and quadcopters have come a long way since they were created. They now come equipped with some pretty advanced features and aren’t just simple flying toys. When it comes to aerial filming and photography, they are the best devices to use, and have amazing autonomous as well as flying features.

But when it comes to carrying the drones around or travelling with them, there always seems to be one big problem – without a proper case for the drone, the delicate parts like propellers always break and damage the body.

This is why the newer batch of drones has consciously started making the change and now come equipped with features that allow a safer travelling experience. They can be folded in such a way that all their delicate parts are tucked inside and the body of the drone becomes compact and in turn better for portability.

Here are some of the best foldable drones available in the market right now.
