If you haven’t already used a drone
for fun or for taking excellent aerial photographs, it’s about time that you
did. Drones are everywhere today; go to a shopping mall and you will see a
salesperson flying a drone over your heads to get your or your kids’ attention,
surf the internet and you will find so many models of the latest drones, open
YouTube and find so many impressive videos taking you to places where a normal
human being or even a manned aircraft wouldn’t dare go, or visit the beach and
see kids and adults there having a great time flying drones all over the place.
Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? The
thing is, if you haven’t yet had a chance to fly a quadcopter (aka a drone),
you have no idea just how much fun it really is once you learn the basic
controls and start flying like an expert.
Types of Ready-to-Fly Quadcopters
There are cheap and simple
quadcopters out there and then there are highly sophisticated machines equipped
with high-resolution cameras and GPS along with landing feet for ease of use. Some
of these are extremely small in size; whereas others are fairly large with a
powerful engine and a great design housing all the necessary parts. These
machines come in a good number of shapes and sizes, so before you could
experience all that fun, the important thing is to decide which drone to buy.
Drones or quadcopters are designed
for both kids and adults. However, kids need supervision because after all a
flying copter with spinning propellers is supposed to be a dangerous machine. These
devices are also classified according to their price. You wouldn’t want a very
expensive model for your kid or even a grown up child who is flying a
quadcopter for the first time. This is because it takes a while to master the
art of piloting an unmanned aerial vehicle, whether it is loaded with gadgets
or is extremely small having only the basic parts.
Which Drone to Buy?
The best way to learn about the
features of various drones available on the market is to conduct an online
search. Quadcopters are available for as low as $50, which offer good
functionality to beginners especially kids. From here you can slowly go up the
price ladder learning about more sophisticated features, excellent design, and
extremely good quality of photos and video streaming. Here we discuss some
models by popular drone manufacturers to help you decide which drone is best
suited to your requirements and budget.
SYMA X5C Explorer
If you are looking for an
inexpensive quadcopter that comes with a camera and offers easy controls this
one is for you. It comes equipped with a micro SD card and a high-resolution
camera with many other great features excellent for novice pilots and kids. If
you plan on buying a quadcopter to gift it to someone, again this would be the
perfect choice. You will be able to find a cheaper model but that will not be
equipped with camera and other exciting features. So, even for a beginner a
model like this quadcopter is recommended.
Ionic Stratus Drone
If you want to become a seasoned
drone pilot and need something that would help you polish your skills at this
art, try your hands on this beautifully designed quadcopter. It comes with two
very attractive features: a 6-axis gyro system and headless mode, which makes
it possible to adjust the orientation of the quadcopter automatically while it
is flying. Both these powerful features make this machine a preferred choice of
a lot of drone lovers out there.
Eachine Racer 250 FPV Quadcopter
This ready-to-fly drone is something
that is going to provide you with hours of entertainment and quality time with
its real-time image transmission and remote control with long distance
sensitivity. It also comes with a monitor with a TFT LCD screen to view the
images in real time. The drone is relatively small in size but comes with
powerful functionality.
DJI Phantom 3 Standard Quadcopter
A drone that has consistently
received good reviews by people who have bought it, this one is meant for
seasoned drone hobbyists who want to do a little more with their machine than
simply flying it. It comes with a mobile app to let you view live streamed
images while flying the quadcopter half a mile away. Its powerful battery gives
you a continuous flight time of up to 25 minutes, which is totally impressive.
It also supports a GPS assisted flight to give you more control and
functionality.
DBPOWER WINGSLAND 2.4G 10CH POI FPV Quadcopter
A quadcopter popular among
experienced drone pilots and loaded with powerful features, this one comes with
a range of exciting features to make your experience more enjoyable and
worthwhile. Some of the attractive features of this highly sophisticated
machine include integrated camera, one key auto-return home, intelligent flight
battery, and lightweight design.
Hubsan X4 Brushless FPV Quadcopter
Available in white and black, this
beautiful quadcopter is a bit expensive for first-time drone users and kids but
perfect for seasoned pilots who want a little more functionality and improved
battery life. GPS hold, headless flight mode for automatic orientation, return
to home, and follow me, are some of its exciting controls. It offers 5.8G
real-time video transmission and 1080 HD camera for capturing high-resolution
images.
So, you see there are quite a number
of companies manufacturing drones for hobbyists these days. All you need to do
is shortlist the ones that catch your eye and then read their specifications
and user reviews on the internet to compare the feature set as well as price. Also
keep in mind your own requirements and prioritize them in case you want a model
that comes with lesser controls but is slightly more expensive than other
models and vice versa. Have a look at all the drones offered by the
above-mentioned manufacturers and see what the distinguishing feature between
their models is so that you can find just the right drone for yourself!
