Jaw-Dropping Aerial Shots Captured by Budget-Friendly Drones

9. Birds Nest

Potential Drone: DJI Spark How to Purchase: Amazon Price: $499* Is that the head of a massive animal stuck in a fence? Nope, it's a massive bird's nest tucked up in some electrical cable. It's strange to look at this mind-bending photo, yet it turns out that big bird nests actually exist. Drones like the DJI Spark allow us to see them from a whole new level, even though some people can only see them from below.

Rachael Ishaya's Birds Nest on Pinterest Although the DJI Spark isn't as sophisticated as some of the other drones we've seen, it still has value. Its battery life isn't quite as long as some of the more recent models, but it could handle photos like these without too much difficulty. The DJI Spark is also referred to by the business as the "Selfie Drone," although, as you can see, it can be used for a variety of purposes beyond taking self-portraits. There won't be a new version of the Spark anytime soon, but reconditioned drones are still available on the DJI website.
