I have been using the drone for half a year already, during which time I have fallen more than once. Struck by the strength and reliability of the device. Already mastered all flight modes, the car deserves the most flattering words. |
A simple expert advice will help you choose the right mini quadrocopter.
- Novice pilots should not buy complex expensive models. The first piloting skills can be obtained by using budget models without cameras. They will not be sorry to lose in the event of a fall or loss.
- The smallest drones are designed for flying around the house or office. When buying, pay attention to the presence of a protective bumper.
- In outdoor conditions, it is better to give preference to larger and heavier drones. To ensure that the device does not accidentally fly away in an unknown direction, GPS or GLONASS sensors, a return home function, will be useful.
- Having a camera will be an important point for video filming fans. Depending on the purpose of the drone, the camera resolution is selected.
In the domestic market there is a rich selection of mini quadcopters. Make the right choice according to your requirements. Have a good shopping!
