5 best quadcopters for price and quality

A simple drone that is almost entirely made of plastic. There is no camera here, so you should not count on video shooting. It is not required by a device that is not capable of climbing any high. This model is designed exclusively for indoor flights. That is why it received built-in propeller protection - this will also protect your household appliances and furniture.

The quadcopter comes with a relatively small remote control. Roughly the same have inexpensive radio-controlled cars. The accessory allows you to choose one of two speed modes. And there is also a button on it, pressing which will make the drone do somersaults. The remote control is powered by three AAA batteries. The drone itself requires a 300 mAh lithium polymer battery. It is only enough for 5-6 minutes of flight. Fortunately, you can buy additional batteries for very little money.

This model is purchased for children. It is they who will get the maximum pleasure from managing it. For many of them, the quadcopter will seem like the best toy. Even despite the fact that the signal is lost after overcoming several tens of meters. Fortunately, even when falling, nothing happens to the drone, which is explained by its negligible weight and high-quality plastic. The flip side of the low mass coin is the impossibility of launching in the wind - you need to do this either indoors or in complete calm.

The main distinguishing feature of Syma X15W is the function of connecting a smartphone to it. After that, control becomes available directly from the screen! Also, the launch of a special application will help to observe the picture coming from the camera. But do not rely on high video quality - it is fully consistent with the price of the drone. And this, we recall, is a very inexpensive model.

The simplest outwardly drone that cannot even be folded. Its body and many other structural elements are made of lightweight plastic. In this regard, the quadcopter itself weighs only 185 g. And this is taking into account the presence of a camera here! She sends a picture to a smartphone, which must be placed on the remote control using the appropriate bracket. The image is sent via Wi-Fi, albeit an enhanced version of this standard, so you can’t count on a long range of comfortable control.

The drone has a very good price-quality ratio. At least because of the presence of a GPS chip here. With it, he is ready to independently return to the take-off point. This allows you not to be afraid of signal loss. And here there are automatic shooting modes. For example, a quadcopter tries to follow the person who has the remote control. It turns out he did it - with varying degrees of success. Also, there is no stabilizer. This makes the drone more of a toy than a serious video recording tool. However, at such a cost, it is foolish to expect amazing features from the SJRC S20W.

For some time now, Hubsan has been surprising. She began to produce quadrocopters that not only entertain, but also do an excellent job with video shooting. In particular, the compact and lightweight Zino Mini Se received a good 12-megapixel camera, housed on a well-implemented stabilizer. As a result, you can shoot 4K video using various automatic modes for this.

A distinctive feature of this model is high energy efficiency. It allows the drone to stay in the air for at least half an hour. The manufacturer claims 45 minutes, but this result is only achieved in laboratory conditions. Still it is impossible not to note the support of the FCC standard. With it, you can send a quadrocopter on a long journey - the signal will be lost only a few kilometers from the operator. Of course, a high-quality navigation module is not forgotten here, so the drone will return to the take-off point anyway.

This kid is absolutely amazing. The lightweight drone is equipped with a seemingly small camera.However, the picture it saves is amazing! Especially if you're watching it on a big 4K TV. And the manufacturer managed to place this structural element on a full-fledged three-axis suspension, in connection with which the possibility of an image jitter effect is excluded.

By default, the quadcopter communicates with the remote control at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. However, through simple manipulations (a hacked application is bought), access to the FCC is opened, which will increase the control range from 600-700 meters to several kilometers. I am glad that the battery used by the drone is really enough to overcome such a distance. By the way, we recommend taking the Fly More Combo kit. It includes three batteries at once, as well as a special charger designed specifically for such a number of them.
