Not large drones, mind you. I need them to lift five to ten pounds.
Check out the DJI Matrice 200 series or the Yuneec H520. Both can handle 5 to 10 pounds and are good value for their capabilities. The Freefly Alta 6 is another option but can be pricier.
Affordable heavy-lifting drones are designed to carry significant payloads without breaking the bank. Look for models that offer a balance between cost and payload capacity, and check for features such as durability and ease of use.
