Best drone under £100 (new)

[Danith]

Looking to buy as a Christmas pressie.
Just want something with half decent flight time and able to take decent enough aerial shots.

Under £100 - which is the best one out of this small, basic range?

@Addicted is the drone man iirc.

I must admit I have absolutely no clue for that price range sorry! 😧

If people post links I can vet them, but it's not quite in my territory :smiley:

Speaking to a friend he had said the Sigma X5SW seemed ok, but only half the price range so I'm sure there's better out there.

I've had the Syma X5C, but the camera quality is low, so if you are wanting it for that purpose then avoid it. You'll struggle to get anything with what you want for under £100 IMO.

Take a look at red 5 http://www.red5.co.uk/remote-control/drones.aspx they've got a decent range, also www.hobbyking.co.uk is worth looking at.

There is a thread on here with drones, cant remember the name but its in general chat.

One people seemed to recommended was about £40 for a beginner and then batteries for £10 on top!

maybe wasn't £40 with camera but don't think was much more!

You can get the Syma X5C for £40, which has a camera, but the quality is bad. I might have a video somewhere to show the quality I'll take a look now.

Edit - video below.

I've added a video now mate, I suppose for £35-40 it's great but not really much use due to the low quality.
