10 best quadcopters under 250 grams

Quadcopters with a price tag of less than 2 thousand rubles, as a rule, are ordinary toys from which you do not expect much. But there are also models such as the MJX X919H, which are already difficult to attribute to children's fun. This is a full-fledged quadcopter capable of shooting in 480p quality. Yes, not 4K, and the matrix resolution is only 0.3 megapixels, but as an amateur device it is quite suitable. The machine works wirelessly with a range of up to 50 meters. At the same distance, it is possible to stream the frames being shot.

The car can stay in the air for 5 minutes. A low result, but the battery capacity is only 380 mAh. But the weight of the device is much less than 250 grams - only 36 g with a size of 77x77 millimeters. This is the smallest quadcopter, but equipped with all the necessary functionality inherent in larger and more expensive models. On board there is not only a gyroscope and a barometer, but also a tracking sensor.

If you're a beginner quadcopter pilot, hard landings are inevitable, and most models don't have any protection at all. Manufacturers sacrifice it for the sake of weight, since without registration and license you can only drive a dressing weighing less than 250 grams.But in this case, the engineers managed the impossible. Weighing only 17 grams, excluding battery, the machine is equipped with maximum protection against accidental bumps and drops. All screws are placed in the body, and the "body" of the copter is made of durable plastic.

However, you are unlikely to drop the device on the ground, as it is equipped with a return system, thanks to which, when the battery level is low, the copter automatically returns to the take-off site and lands. Also, for stabilization, there is a gyroscope and a barometer on board, but there is no camera, which makes the quadcopter less attractive to users. It is rather a training apparatus, since its control is average.

Since a license is needed only for devices weighing more than 250 grams, this quadcopter can be used without registration. It weighs only 99 grams, and its size is 19x27 centimeters. Despite its compact dimensions, a relatively powerful battery with a capacity of 500 mAh is installed on board the car. It allows you to stay in the air for up to 9 minutes without mains power, and the fast charging system fully restores the battery in just an hour.

There is also a camera, unfortunately, not in 4K, but 720p is quite enough for high-quality shooting. The resolution of the matrix is ​​2 megapixels - and this is a relatively high result, since in most cases the parameter does not exceed one unit. The main advantage of the model is in the control range. Communication with the remote control remains stable up to 100 meters away, and the transmission of streaming data from the camera is carried out at 30 meters. An excellent result, and even with the most attractive price tag.

Before us is the best quadcopter weighing less than 250 grams, which does not need a license and registration. Its size is only 22x22 centimeters, while the manufacturer was able to put a 550 mAh battery into the case, which allows the device to stay in the air for up to 9 minutes and take off to a height of up to 20 meters.

The quadcopter is equipped with a 720p camera. Not 4K, of course, but quite an acceptable module for high-quality shooting from a height. The viewing angle of the camera is 85 degrees, which is very important, since it does not have a rotary axis. The device has all the necessary sensors, including a gyroscope and a barometer, but the main advantage lies in the ability to interact with all navigation systems. In addition to standard GPS, the quadcopter works with GLONASS and even Galileo. If you look for shortcomings here, then they include the lack of a radio channel for control and the need to charge the battery for at least 200 minutes.

If the Chinese brand still evokes in you associations with something of low quality, then you are seriously mistaken, and Syma is a direct proof of this. He has the best quadcopters that do not require a license or registration to operate. In this case, we see a device that weighs only 20 grams, although this is without a battery, but even with it, the weight does not exceed 100 grams, and the restrictions start at 250 grams.

The device is controlled by a radio channel up to 20 meters long. On board there is a gyroscope for holding altitude and a barometer.Management is simplified, but there is a function of automatic flips for complex somersaults and maneuvers. However, there is no great need for them, since the quadcopter is not equipped with a camera, hence such a low price. If you want to take aerial photography, you will have to install an additional module for which mounts are provided. The main thing is that with it the total weight does not exceed 250 grams.
