The Drone Guyz have found some of the best beginner drones you can buy for under $30. These are great drones to start out on without breaking the bank. You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get a good beginner drone. Most of these drones are pretty small and very portable. One thing the Drone Guyz would recommend for beginners is to make sure you have extra propellers, propeller guards and extra batteries. Most of these starter drones have short flight times and an extra battery goes a long way when you are learning to fly.
These small lightweight drone do have some drawbacks. They may not be as feature packed as some of their more expensive counterparts. Some lack cameras and the ones that have cameras do not have the high quality HD that you would want for aerial photography. Small drones tend to be less stable and are more difficult to hover and maneuver.
Once you have mastered your beginner drone come on back to the Drone Guyz and we will help you find the best drone for you.
