It might have been the silver medallist in the drone race for the last few years, but the Breeze 4K might be exactly what Yuneec needs to rip the top spot away from DJI.

This compact ‘copter is half the cost of a flagship Phantom, but it’ll still shoot 4K video, and let you rack up flight time without having to lug a load of extra equipment around with you while you’re at it.

Instead, you just need your phone – Yuneec’s app takes care of the rest. The very reasonable price should open the skies up to less experienced pilots, too.

I was given some pretty serious no-fly orders at IFA, but I’ve seen one in action, and it looks like a ton of fun.
