DRONES
DJI Mavic 2 Pro £1349 / stuff.tv/Mavic2Pro
The Mavic 2 Pro keeps all the good bits of the old Mavic Pro while making genuine improvements in almost every area. Aimed at the enthusiast willing to spend a little more to fly and film a little further, it’s undeniably pricey – but we think said enthusiasts will find it’s worth every penny. It’s a fantastic flier that feels superbly responsive in the air. It’s not as small or affordable as the Mavic Air, but the battery life, safety features and Hasselblad image quality more than make up for it.

A drone with no real weaknessess, this is the new gold standard in portable flyers
COMPACT CAMERAS
Sony DSC-RX100 V £746 / stuff.tv/RX100V
We wouldn’t recommend buying this camera if you already own the old IV model, but a few improvements have ensured Sony remains the top dog in our compacts list – and we’re keeping this model above the new RX100 VI simply because of the huge price difference. It remains one of the finest point-and-shoots we’ve ever seen, with a flexibility that few pocket cameras can muster. While it’s still not exactly cheap, we reckon this is the cam to buy if you want fantastic-looking snaps from your holidays

A small improvement over the RX100 IV, but this Sony is close to premium point-and-shoot perfection
