Buying a cheap drone can be a turbulent ride – here's how to get a smooth flight
. But I’ve also flown and reviewed more drones than I can count, including some extremely inexpensive models, so it’s fair to say that I’ve experienced the best and the worst of what’s available.
In my experience with cheap drones, which has involved countless lost connections and the odd unplanned river landing, buying smart is nearly always better than opting for the cheapest option you can find.Camera drones are complex devices, and this is easily overlooked when you see how easy the best ones are to set up and fly. I was put off using drones for years because they seemed so complicated, but as soon as I got my thumbs on the sticks I never looked back.
Then there’s the quality of the connection between the controller, app and drone. Cheaper drones often rely on Wi-Fi, which is unstable and suffers from interference, even when flying 150-200m away from built-up areas.Safety features aside, there are other factors that you have to consider: namely the camera and gimbal. Ideally, you need a camera drone with a three-axis gimbal.
I’ve used many drones over the years ranging from models that can be picked up for just $150 / £150 / AU$250 ranging up to $2,500 / £2,500 / AU$4,500 or more. And at the lower end of the scale, I’ve experienced a loss of app and controller connection so that return to home had to be initiated.
