Drone up to £100 - £250

At this price we get micro drones. These models are very small in size (they fit in the palm of your hand) and have no additional systems to facilitate flight. They fly for a short time, about 5-7 minutes, but charge quickly! Even in 20 minutes.

Hubsan Q4 H111 has a small controller, ideal for children's hands, although an adult will also have no problem with the controls.

• advantages-modernistic design, functional box, good lighting
• functions- barrels (acrobatics), 3 modes of flight speed.
• disadvantages-when hitting a wall, propellers often fall out, which you then have to look for

Drone Syma X12S - has a large controller resembling the one from the xbox 360 console.

• advantages - massive construction, durable

• cons - detaching propellers

The most popular and and most frequently purchased drones are precisely in this price range:

Hubsan X4 H107C and Syma X11C- palm-sized drones. Ideal for flying at home. Although it is not recommended to fly in small spaces, there is a risk of damaging the drone, well, but who wouldn't try, test your skills by flying under the table :) Shields on the propellers help negate damage.

Syma X9S flies and rides; 6-axis gyroscope; headless mode; drive, flight and aerobatic modes; range up to 100 m; no camera.

Syma X5C - 1 generation

Although it is the first generation, the model continues to sell well. Not much cheaper than the second generation. It is a proven model, so its price holds up. It is very durable, we personally own a model that is already two years old and m.in. fell into a tree, it rained on it (briefly, but still), it flew at many events and fairs as an attraction (it flew constantly, after removing the battery we immediately put a new one in and took to the air), it still works, and no motor was replaced. When something is proven then, why not buy it? This is probably what customers who buy this model are suggesting.

Syma X5SC - 2nd generation

It differs minimally in construction from its predecessor, it is slightly taller. It has a Headless mode-when the drone flies away from us and we do not know what direction it is turned, after activating this function, we do not need to know the orientation of the drone. The drone will respond to stick swings by orienting itself, thanks to a signal from the controller.

Syma X5HC - 3rd generation

Built the same as the X5SC however it differs in colors. In addition, it has a hover function. Drone rotating around its axis loses altitude. In this model, this problem does not occur, and flying is easier.

Drones with 0.3Mpix camera, range up to 50 meters (live view up to 30m). Video saves automatically to smartphone.

The following models, unlike the X5SC and X5HC versions, have FPV (live view) function. The lower resolution of the camera results in faster data transfer, which means that the transmitted image does not stutter. Included is a controller mount that allows you to mount a smartphone. The image is sent to a tablet or smartphone after installing an app that works on iOS and Android.

Syma X5SW - 2nd generation

Syma X5HW - 3rd generation

Syma X11C - smaller drone, 2mpx camera, range up to 30 meters. It is a small drone, however, it is controlled very pleasantly and stably. It has a 2 mpx camera! Which in such a small drone at such a price is quite an achievement

Of course, all of the above drones also come in a version without a camera: Syma X5S and Hubsan 107L or a renewed quieter version Hubsan 107P i JJRC H31

Drones up to £500

Syma X8C drone has a 2Mpix camera, with a range of up to 50 meters. Video is saved to the included SD card. Model also equipped with Headless(compass) mode.

Syma X8HC is a revamped version of the Symy X8C, in addition to the earlier model has an additional vertical hover function. Drone rotating on its axis gains or loses altitude. This drone will counteract that.

Syma X8W drone with 0.3 Mpix camera, range up to 50 meters (live view up to 30 meters). The video automatically saves to the smartphone (the smaller size of the camera results in faster data transfer, so that the transmitted video does not stutter).

Syma X8HW is the 2nd generation of the Symy X8W drone, heavily upgraded. It has a 1mpx camera, and an extended range of up to 70m (live view up to 50m) Large drone with a Phantom-like design. Powerful engines, performs better in the wind than other recreational drones. Also has Headless mode and vertical hovering function - Drone rotates around its axis to gain or lose height. This drone will counteract that.

WLToys V686K It has a very long range, up to 150 meters, but this model transmits the image via Wi-Fi, so the real range especially in the city where there is a lot of interference is probably 100 meters, which is still quite a result. The image is sent to a tablet or smartphone, after installing the appropriate application. 0.3 mpx camera. We can also control the drone exclusively with a smartphone! Features Headless mode

Hubsan X4 107CHD. 2 Mpix camera, range up to 50 meters. It has motors that translate directly to propellers. He is fast and massively built. A cheaper model with a 0.3 Mpix camera is also available Hubsan H107C.

Hubsan H107C+ Second series model having a completely new design. The range has been improved - 100 meters, and a vertical hover function has been added. When rotating around its axis, the drone does not lose altitude or climb. The disadvantage in the drone is the inability to mount a propeller guard, so we recommend this model to people who have already had experience with drones.

Drones up to £1000

Syma X8SW range up to 70m; autostart and auto-landing; hover function; LED lights; flight time approx. 9min; headless mode

Hubsan H502E is a novelty on the market, a toy drone with GPS! This makes the drone much more stable in flight, correcting its position even in windy conditions.

Yuneec Breeze - is a new so-called selfie drone. It is controlled via smartphone. It is one of the first drones of its kind. It has many options... It's small so you can easily pack it in your backpack. It can also serve as the best toy for playing outdoors or in the park. Smart recording allows us to record our shots of the sky whatever we are doing such as cycling or running.

We believe that here ends the limit of drones that can be operated by people minors. For those under the age of 14, we suggest drones up to £300

Phantom 3 Standard - It is actually the cheapest professional drone available on the market.

Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K + Handheld Gimbal - The drone from Yunnec, has the ability to remove the camera, and the manufacturer throws into the kit a hand-held ground gimbal, so the camera can also serve us for normal use. In addition, the gimbal makes the footage you shoot smooth and without unnecessary shaking. This is a very big advantage of this set.

As for the drone itself, it has a range of 500m. It has a built-in screen in the controller, so we do not need any tablet or smartphone to operate it. However, in our opinion, for those who have never flown a drone, it is a bit heavier to operate. The person who wants to fly it will have to spend more time with the instruction manual. By paying a few hundred zloty extra, we can get an attractive set (next on the list - "drones up to 4000 zloty"

Drones up to £4,000
