The Hubsan H107L x4 Buy Now!
If you have done any kind of search for good “beginner” drones, then there is a great chance that this little bad boy has popped up. I know I said beginner drone and this is in the beginner section, but this is just a great little drone, whether new or seasoned, period! The eye catching thing about this and the couple other ones that I talk about in other posts, is the PRICE! At around a $50 price point, this little joker is fantastic and a good bang for your buck. It has a nice sized controller that has a good fit in your hands. Flying at night can be just as fun with 2 blue lights indicating the front and 2 red lights indicating the back making it look like synchronized lighting bugs. The x4 has nice weight to it which adds to the quality. I know if I ram it into a wall (which I have done multiple times) that it’s not going to shatter on me. Also, the weight for its size and the compactness of it does help with light winds. The fact that it is small allows you to easily fly inside and outside.
The Controller
The controller has beginner mode and expert mode. After you get comfortable the flying basics, which you can find here, you switch to expert for more precise handling and advanced maneuvers. Want to try your hand at some tricks? Well then the Hubsan x4 might be for you because you can pull off some pretty nice flips and whirly twirlys. Let’s talk about the speed of this blur of a drone. This thing can move. I feel like I could fly circles around a cheetah or something. Anyway, like all of the “beginner” drones, we will talk about just planning on buying extra batteries because 7-10 mins. of fly time isn’t enough to satisfy the thirst of flight!
