9. DJI Spark & Mavic

For the dad who is still a child at heart, DJI recently released two affordable, compact AWESOME drones. The Spark is currently on pre-order starting at $499, it is a super compact quadcopter that is perfect for the beginner who is new to the drone world. The Mavic is a little larger, but still compact and has some advantages over the spark such as 4k video and longer flight time, but neither will disappoint.
