Best Drones For Beginners with camera

Holy Stone HS140

Holy Stone HS140 Review

What would you say to a small beginner drone that comes with smart gesture control and voice control functions?

The Holy Stone HS140 RC drone can hear and obey your commands, like a loyal pet.

The flight performance itself is not bad at all, even with the brushed motors. However, do not fly it in the wind.

While Holy Stone makes good quadcopters, they cannot be completely free of downsides. For instance, you have to screw on the landing gear before flying it and again, unscrew them before you can store it. This makes one wonder why they did not make the landing gear a snap-on kind of design.

Another thing you need to be aware of is that there is no SD card slot. For many beginner drones, this is expected.
Away from the negatives, is this aircraft worth buying? Keep reading to see its features.

LOPOM X11

LOPOM X11 GPS Drone Review

If you are looking for an affordable adult beginner drone to get into the drone hobby, you might want to try the LOPOM X11 GPS drone.

You can option for the cheaper package or the more expensive one. You see, the LOPOM GPS drone comes in two versions. The cheap one that we are reviewing here comes without some of the features that the costlier one comes with. The latter comes with two batteries, propeller guards and a 4K resolution camera.

The cheaper one has lower specs. Considering that it costs half the price of the costlier version, we think it is worth it. But first, you can only know for sure when you have seen the features and technical details.

Before you can order a drone, you need to know its downsides. That way, you can know how to fly it safely. In this case, the LOPOM X11 drone has its fair share of cons. For instance, the user manual is poorly written. It is more confusing than educational.

Another thing you might need to be aware of is that the smartphone holder on the remote controller might not fit all devices. Also, the battery might not get to the promised 20 minutes.

If you think these are not deal breakers, keep reading to see its features in more detail.

4DRC F10

4DRC F10 Drone Review

For the low price that you will pay for the 4DRC F10, you will get some impressive features such as two batteries that can collectively give you up to 32 minutes of flight time.

The design of this drone is really good. It folds nicely, like the Mavic Pro. Droneeye, the company that manufactures this quadcopter, makes their products really nice. In another post, we reviewed the DRONEEYE 4DRC V9 Mini, which is for children.

In the upcoming sections, we shall look at the features and the flight functions that this foldable quadcopter comes with.

Like other small drones, the only downside to expect from this drone is the low weight. Thus, you do not want to fly it even in the lowest velocity winds.

Holy Stone HS175D Review

Coming with an adjustable camera with a wide field of view, the Holy Stone HS175D will capture just the perfect shots. Of course, one of the main reasons for buying drones today is to enjoy aerial shooting.

And the HS175D has much more going for it. Thus, in this review, we are going to look at its features in detail. We shall also look at its pros and cons.

While Holy Stone makes good drones, like other drones, the HS175D has its downsides. However, these are not deal breakers.

For instance, there have been some complaints about the app, with some users saying it is not as responsive as it should be. However, we realize that this could be caused by things such as your android or iOS version.

Another thing that you might want to know is that even in the lowest velocity wind, the drone might prove hard to trim.

As we said, these are not deal breakers. Keep reading to see the main features of this quadcopter.

Potensic P7

Potensic P7 Review

The Potensic P7 drone is for kids but even adult beginners can use it. It is small, cheap and packed with many fun features (battle mode and 3D stunts). For its safety, it has compact propeller guards. It also comes in exciting color combinations of black and red or black and white.

As mentioned, this drone has a sturdy body and the propellers are safe in their guards. It can also do some cool things such as sideways, front and back flips at the touch of a button. It is not only a nice drone for kids, but adult beginners can get it to start flying.

A drone is as good as its features. Thus, we shall see the main features that the P7 Mini drone comes with. We shall also see its main automatic flight functions. A kid’s drone should have certain flight modes to make it easier to fly.

Like other drones, even the P7 mini drone has one or two downsides. One of them is that at times, it flies so freely as if it has not been calibrated. This is not an across the board thing. Rather, it seems to be an isolated case.

Some users also say that this drone pulls a bit to the right when you are trimming it. But that is a small price to pay for such magnificence and flying prowess.
