Best low budget drone for sale (<$500):

Parrot Bebop drone

The Parrot Bebop drone (buy now) is a very underestimated drone. When it was released just in time for Christmas last year, there was a lot of excitement about. This was quickly followed by some disappointment from the customers because of signal issues droneflyingand drones falling out of the sky left and right after only a couple hundred meters. According to Parrot, these problems have now been fixed with a firmware update. As with the majority of first model releases, some glitches and software bugs may not make themselves visible until tested by the buyers on a grand scale. Parrot has put together a Bebop dance to illustrate how easy and accurately these drones are to fly.

The bebop drone has also slightly come down in price since it was first released. The drone is very light, easy to fly (using the smartphone/ tablet FreeFlight 3 app) and packs a 14 megapixel 1080p “fisheye” camera able to record videos and take pictures of the whole 180 degree angle. The drone also has other features that have now become standard, such as GPS and return home mode, as well as altitude control.

At a price point of <$500, we fully recommend this drone as our low budget option, simply because of all the technology and features that are packed in this little drone.

Best medium budget drone for sale (<$1500):

DJI Phantom 3 Professional Drone

The DJI Phantom 3 Professional (buy now) is a top range drone from DJI. Released in early May, it is still new to the market and we have recently given away a DJI Phantom 3 to one of our lucky readers. There are other medium budget drones for sale such as the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced, but we have decided to pick the Professional version because although higher in price, it comes equipped with a 4K Camera.

The technology that comes packed in this little drone makes it an excellent purchase. DJI has developed an even stronger WiFi link between the controller and the drone, which they called Lightbridge. Some videos on YouTube show how the drone can now leisurely fly up to 20,000 ft away without even any loss in the video quality. In other words, it is a completely new drone compared to the DJI Phantom 2 drones.

If you have a budget of about $1,200, then we recommend you go for this Phantom 3 drone. You will not regret it after seeing what it can do.

Tip: Make sure you have the iPad Mini with Retina display as your FPV tablet so you can make the most of this drone’s HD video streaming capabilities.
