10 Reviews: Best Drone Obstacle Avoidance (May 2023)

The DJI Spark is regarded as one of the most user-friendly drones for first-time fliers and amateurs. It has a flying length of 16 minutes, thus at least four to five additional batteries should be sufficient for an hour to two hours of flight time. Collision avoidance identifies things in its flight path and maps them out for future reference. When they return to the starting place, they will recognize the objects and will avoid them automatically.

[...] I love the sensor that can tell how far an obstacle is. If you are to close to a wall, it will not let you fly into that wall if you are in the normal flying mode. There is also a sport mode which let's you got really fast. I've gotten 34 mph from it! This mode, however, turns off the smart features and reduces the camera stability. [...]

The Intel RealSense technology in this Yuneec Typhoon H drone detects and navigates around obstacles. It builds a 3D representation of the environment using an Intel RealSense R200 camera and an Intel Atom-powered module to prevent Typhoon H from colliding with obstructions. It has the ability to recall its surroundings, which aids in the avoidance of potential accidents. If it avoids an obstacle once, it will remember where it was and will automatically know where to avoid it the following time.

First thing the start up was easy Flying in all modes are excellent but battery life not so good you need at least 2 to 3 back up battery to do the job you are focusing on overall the product is well made

The Mavic Air is capable of recalculating and flying around the impediment. It will only hover if it is unable to remap a path around the obstruction. The DJI Mavic Air boasts a forward, backward, and downward vision technology that continuously scans for obstructions in front, behind, and below it. The Mavic Air’s forward and backward vision systems let it avoid collisions by flying around the object or hovering in front of it.

I love this !! New fanatic of drones I love taking it out ! Nothing bad to say!

The Mavic Air 2 camera drone pushes power and mobility to new levels. For breathtaking results, it combines a strong camera with clever shooting modes. Experiment with your creativity because aerial photography has never been easier. OcuSync 2.0 has a video transmission range of up to 10 kilometers and can offer a live stream in 1080p FHD quality straight from the drone’s camera. Obstacle detecting in three directions is very useful for novices and increases the safety of your Mavic Air 2.

Obstacle avoidance makes it a great beginner drone.

The X-Star Premium also offers a 108-degree field of view. You may capture films at 720p 240fps, 1080p 120fps, or 2.7k 60fps with this drone. If you wish to shoot 12MP still photos, this drone can do that as well. A collision avoidance detecting mechanism is included in the Autel X-Star Premium. It has just forward and backward vision. It can also see up to a certain point on the sides. However, the sides are not completely shielded, therefore pilots must use caution while flying the drones sideways.

Great drone, easy to fly, great camera, great support. Every component is very High quality. The app is well designed and easy to use. Controller is comfortable and easy to use. Love this drone. Only thing missing is obstacle avoidance.

The Typhoon H Pro prioritizes stability and longevity. Six motor arms are maybe one of the most prominent innovations that set this drone apart from its contenders. What distinguishes a hexacopter from a quadcopter is its extraordinary stability and ability to fly at high altitudes without too much resistance from the wind. One of its significant advantages is that if one of the motor arms stops operating unexpectedly, the other five motor arms will continue to operate and the drone would remain in the air.

So easy to fly. This is my first drone purchase or flying one. Looks stealthy wicked. Only real negative is battery life. Wish it was longer. Ability to zoom in and out would be a nice feature. Flys fast with obstacle avoidance off. With it turned on it is pretty slow but if you are in a crowded space, when you dont want it to move fast, it will work great.

The Autel EVO comes with a good travel bag that holds all of the drone’s attachments as well as the drone itself. If you have a smartphone or tablet, don’t use it. You don’t need them since the transmitter has an LCD screen that displays a live video feed from the drone. This orange folding drone can capture 4K HD movies at 60 frames per second. The Autel EVO is outfitted with an obstacle detection system. It includes two sensors on the front and four more on the bottom.

[...] The drone handles the wind very well, and can fly as high as 2600 feet (where allowed). It also has an obstacle avoidance option, and takes 12 mp photos. All in a beautiful small drone, that it's more featured packed than a DJI priced at the same price. Highly recommended!

The Mavic 2 Zoom is almost identical to the Mavic 2 Pro, with the exception of a different camera. This model features the capacity to zoom, therefore the name “Mavic 2 Zoom.” With its zoom capabilities, you can get a close look at almost everything that would normally be difficult or unsafe to see with the drone. With the Mavic 2 Zoom drone, you can relax knowing you’re in charge of a sophisticated camera drone with 360-degree collision avoidance.

[...] The omni-directional obstacle avoidance exceeded my expectations. By default, the quad stops moving if it detects an obstacle in the way. In Advanced Pilot Assistance System mode, the quad tries to move around an obstacle. To illustrate how good the obstacle avoidance is, I haven’t replaced the original propellers. [...]

The Mavic 2 Pro is the most recent edition of ultraportable and intelligent camera drones with folding motor arms. It boasts a one-of-a-kind professional-grade camera known as the Hasselblad. That camera has a 20MP sensor and a 1-inch CMOS sensor, allowing you to record still images with a whopping 5.6K resolution. In addition, the OcuSync 2.0 enhances signal frequency, allowing for a maximum remote control distance of up to 5,000 meters. This folding quadcopter can also zoom in and out.

[...] We love the controls, obstacle avoidance systems, RTH, battery life, and most of all, the crisp images and videos from a rock-steady gimbal. [...]

The DJI Mavic Pro is another really popular quadcopter. This folding drone is designed with the concepts of compactness, portability, and lightweight in mind. It has a 12MP camera and can capture 4K movies at 30 frames per second. To take portrait and landscape images, the drone’s gimbal can tilt, turn, and pin from straight down to a little way up, as well as half a right angle to its sides and a complete 90-degree rotation.

[...] The mavic is by far the most stable, best flying drone I have ever used. I flew it today in 20 mph wind and it was no problem. The video and still pics are as good as the phantom and it is much more fun to fly. The obstacle avoidance is spot on. If you are thinking of a new drone, trust me, this is it. My new favorite.
