We&#8217;ve put together a list of stellar, affordable drones for your next filmmaking endeavor.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long gone are the days when drones would set you back thousands of dollars. You can now buy a drone for just under $100 on Amazon, and be capturing aerial images before the week is out. Although, can we say that these budget drones offer stellar images that can be used in some professional capacity? Eh, not likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are drones on the market that offer great video options with prices that won&#8217;t bust your budget. In an age where memory cards can cost up to $1000, I think we can say having a drone that costs less than $1,000\u2014with great image technology\u2014is a steal.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the list below for our 2022 recommendations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"dji-air-2s-999\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">DJI Air 2S &#8211; $999 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png\" alt=\"DJI Air 2S drone\" class=\"wp-image-166448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/air2s.png?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>The DJI Air 2S.
