Cheaper Drones

[Bub]

I know a few guys on here have them, but I'm looking for entry level under $100 so I wont cry when its stuck in a tree. Anyone have one they like or a good suggestion?? Would like to prime if possible. Thanks

youll end up with a tiny one for that price. I recommend the Hubsan brand line though for starting out. Cheap, easy to fix but controls like a professional drone and parts are cheap/easy to find. It has a quality controller but since it is small....tends to be hard to get it to hover in place. The nice thing is its small enough to play with inside too...but it is FAST so be prepared! I got one for Xmas and love the thing. The camera quality is eh but thats expected since its a pinhole camera.

I went Hubsan for my first multi-rotor and wish I started with a more entry-level unit. The Hubsan is no joke and without prop guards I sliced my finger open one time when I flew it into myself while learning how to fly these things - a lot different than the little helicopters.

I'd probably start with one of these: Blade® Inductrix

Yeah the Hubsans are legit mini drones. I personally wouldnt buy it as a "toy" after playing with it. There is a decent learning curve just to get it to fly around without hitting everything .

Ive hit it with my hand a couple times and the little fucker hurts!

Got a Hubsan 107c... Total blast to mess around with and not too expensive that I'm worried about crashing it.

I never even considered one of those because they don't have guards for the blades. you guys have to replace em every time you hit shit?

It comes with a guard, it's just not pictured there....

Plus replacement parts are dirt cheap.

A big hit will tear them up but it's usually just one blade at a time and the the thing comes with a full spare set.

Ive hit things about 6 times and im still on the original blades so they are somewhat resilient. fuck the guard!

and it also comes with a full spare set.
