1. DJI Phantom FC40
The DJI Phantom FC40 is our top drones for sale this month. Our drone fans loved the FC40 review we wrote a while back and it has convinced a lot of our readers to try the drone themselves. It is certainly the drone I would go for as well, if I wanted something affordable that can take high quality photos and videos. Don’t forget that it’s also ideal if you have a GoPro lieing around, You can simply take out the default camera and attach your GoPro to the bottom of the drone instead.
Flight time: 20-30 minutes
Price: $459
2. Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Quadcopter
For now, this is Parrot’s leading drone. You can read our AR Drone 2.0 review here to see the reasons why that is. In summary though, it is an easy to fly drone, requiring no prior experience, comes with a 720p camera and is safe to fly, even for young children.
Flight time: 20-30 minutes
Price: $329
3. DJI Phantom for GoPro
I was surprised when I saw this as our top #3 best selling drone, because it doesn’t come with a camera. However, it is the cheapest DJI Phantom around and is perfect if you have a GoPro that you can attach to it. I guess a lot of our readers are GoPro users already. So yeah, great drone with all the features the more expensive DJI Phantom drones come with, but without a camera. If you want to use your own GoPro with it, then this is the drone for you!
Flight time: 20-30 minutes
Price: $459
4. Parrot MiniDrone Rolling Spider
This drone also features in the video above and is a pretty cool little drone, the size of your palm. It is also great and safe for kids to play with. It is controlled by the same iOS app that the big AR Drone 2.0 uses and it’s extremely easy to use. Although not good for photography, it is a very competitively price recreational drone and will guarantee hours of fun.
Flight time: 10 minutes
Price: $99
5. Parrot MiniDrone Jumping Sumo
Although not technically a drone because it doesn’t fly, this latest invention from Parrot has made waves in the market. The product was sold out earlier this week, but more have now been received in stock. Check out the video below to get an idea of how it works! It also looks extremely cool and you can customize it with a variety of stickers.
Flight time: 20-30 minutes
Price: $159
6. Hubsan X4 Drone
This is quite a deal for a camera that has an integrated camera and can fly for about 10-12 minutes. The camera however is only SD and you cannot control it. In other words, you can only film in the direction the drone is moving in.
Flight time: 10-12 minutes
Price: $129
7. DJI Phantom 2 Vision
The slightly downgraded version of the drone above, it comes with an integrated camera of a slightly lesser quality but pretty much the same features. The drone gimbal is also not upgraded to the new three axis version that the Vision + uses.
Flight time: 20-30 minutes
Price: $759
8. DJI Phantom 2 Vision +
This is actually the most expensive and professional of our drones for sale. If we were ranking this drones list by features and performance, this would easily top #1. However, due to the relatively high price tag, it is less popular than some of the other DJI Phantom drone models. It is however the best drone to buy if you are after a 1080p camera, long flight time and 14MP HD photos.
Flight time: 20-30 minutes
Price: $1099
9. 200 QX drone with SAFE
A downgraded version of the 350QX drone above, still doesn’t come with a camera but you can buy one separately.
Flight time: <20 minutes
Price: $229
10. 350 QX Drone RTF
This #10 drones for sale has been reasonably popular with our readers – It doesn’t come with a camera, so you would need to attach your own GoPro camera to it. However, it does come with several flight modes and increased an increased stability for extra smooth video footage.
Flight time: <20 minutes
Price: $489
There’s our list of the top drones for sale this Christmas. Of course, these would make great presents for your dad, boyfriend or even your children (The Rolling Spider & Jumping Sumo only!).
