The only thing it lacks is manufacturer support. The Syma X1 UFO is an extremely stable device outdoors with light winds. We believe it’s because of the gyro initialization process that happens when you start up the quad, so make sure to do it on a flat, balanced surface. Once the quad is in the air, the fun really begins.

The results is that it’s possible to perform every 3D movement with this quadcopter. Many of the other quadcopters out there only come with 2-axis flight control, reducing the level of control and maneuverability you have with the quadcopters. Another great feature of the Syma X1 UFO is the indoor/outdoor flying mode. It gives finer control of the quadcopter, allowing you to stay at a desirable levels inside a building or a home.

When you move to flying outside, you can switch it to the outdoor mode, which allows you to travel higher and fly at faster speeds. The Syma X1 UFO provides you with up to 40 meters of control. You’ll be able to fly about 100 feet away before it no longer can connect to the controller at that frequency. All of this is important to keep in mind when flying the quadcopter because if you fly too far away, you’ll most likely lose sight of the quadcopter because of its size and you’ll probably lose it. While flying around indoors, I crashed this thing about 20 times trying to mimic a Redbull airplane race :). I’m not sure what type of plastic it is, but it’s extremely durable and I didn’t break one propeller or the shell. For a quadcopter at this price level, I was convinced that it would break and I’d be searching for new parts online. To my surprise, this quadcopter withstood all the crashes. What might be best about the Syma X1 UFO, outside of the easy to use features and the price tag, is the fact that the batteries on the hardware are all rechargeable, making it easy to hook up, charge the battery and be ready for another round of flight quickly.
Make sure to purchase extra batteries as the charge time does take around 40 minutes, which gives you only about 5 minutes of flight time. The only downside of owning this quadcopter is the lack of support. Outside of a couple of pdf downloads that you can get off of their website, their really isn’t much available in regards to support. But at this price point, do you really need that much support? If you buy it from Amazon, you can return it if anything is broken on arrival and get a full refund. All-in-all I had a great time flying the Syma X1. I’d definitely recommend this quadcopter for all level of flyers. For beginners, the stability and durability allows it to endure the crashes you’ll have when learning to fly. For enthusiasts, you have a great degree of control allowing you to do great aerial tricks both indoor and outdoor! And of course, the greatest feature is the price! The last time I checked, Amazon had this quadcopter for only $32, which is such a great deal for this fun quadcopter.

Sliding the device into the included VR goggles places the pilot right in the thick of the action, which should last for up to seven minutes per charge.

Parrot's efforts in the drone space tend to focus on the fun, rather than the practical, and this is best demonstrated by its long line of minidrones. Following models that can climb walls, leap onto surfaces and glide across water, the cannon-equipped Mambo seems designed purely for the purpose of pestering siblings. Mambo is a quadcopter that comes with a Nerf-like cannon that snaps on via a Lego-like panel on top. Fully loaded, it carries six balls that are said to be soft and safe to use, and it can empty the chamber in nine seconds. What's more, it could even handle the cleanup, with a claw that can be fixed to its underside and grab onto objects weighing up to 4 g (0.15 oz). Buy the Mambo now on Amazon ($119) Back in September, startup Flybrix launched DIY drone kits designed to teach kids about engineering and robotics, and hoped to capture imaginations by bringing a childhood favorite into the mix.
The kits come as loose sets of Lego bricks, and it is up to the budding engineer to assemble the pieces into some kind of magical flying machine, sounds just like any old Lego-building session, right? But with motors, propellors, battery and a flight board thrown in, users won't have to imagine their creation taking flight, they can actually fire it up to see how it fairs. The idea is that by seeing how their designs fly and crash, users can learn through trial and error how to build the ultimate aircraft. Available now, Flybrix come in a basic kit which relies on smartphone controls for $189, or a $249 kit that includes a dedicated controller. The PowerUp 3.0 has been around for a couple of years now, and is not a drone per se, but still makes our list because it's a clever idea and offers something different in an increasingly crowded market. Oh, and it's cheap too. For $50, the PowerUp 3.0 kit can be affixed to your finest paper airplanes and give them some serious hang time.
It uses a propellor, small tail rudder and throttle control to glide through the air at the user's behest, provided they've got a paired smartphone handy to control the thing.The kit can be purchased now through the company's website. We've tried out a few of Hubsan's diminutive quadcopters over the years and have found these responsive and solidly-built devices to be great learner drones. The FPV X4 Plus is the latest from the RC toy-maker and packs a capable camera into a pretty small package, with the ability to shoot 720/30fps HD video and stream vision to a 4.3-inch LCD screen built into the remote controller. We took the FPV X4 Plus for a test run earlier in the year and found that it stood up well to all of our crash landings. This, combined with what is a relatively high-resolution camera for a drone of this size might make it a good way for beginners to get a feel for aerial cinematography.
