Top 5 Best Drones Under $50 - TheRcSaylors

[@DFDuck55]

I fully agree people should learn to actually "fly" a quadcopter without altitude hold or GPS before ever considering buying something like a DJI. I flew cheap quads for a year, and called it "practicing my crashing", before I bought my first expensive one. I'm really glad I bought some FuriBee F36's, they're a blast. And there's all sorts of mods you can do to them, and add-ons like better motors, open source flight controllers, etc. I got four F36's so I can experiment modding them and still have one or two stock ones to compare the mod performance with. The easiest mod I've seen that makes it more agile and increases flight time to 6+ minutes is to cut two blades off each prop. Next I need to buy a bunch of batteries, I already had one let the magic smoke out when I went to charge it after only four flights. And another battery broke a wire off the plug even though I always pull on the plug and not the wires. But.. they're made in China so I don't really expect good craftsmanship or quality control.

As far as smiling goes, you smiled the most out of ALL YOUR VIDEOS playing with this drone. I know it's one of the CHEAPEST, yet even in all the other videos outdoors you didn't smile as much and as long as you did here. That tells me that this guy is FUN!❣️

[@ronaldhoage1824]

Best little Drone out there. Easy to setup , And I can fly it without any problems. The only short side is that it should have an off/on switch on the drone. Disconnecting the battery to drone is small and some what awkward. Flies great. Thanks for your interesting and informative videos.

[@planenerdpdx3113]

Can you please make a best cheap gimbal drone video?

[@tomabbott9653]

Sorry guys, I'm one of those people who posted a question on another video asking for a recommendation. I should have searched for this video before posting that question. Thanks for your recommendations. I have a couple of sons who are constantly asking for drones and your channel is a BIG help!! Thank you!!

[@perldog07]

New enthusiast here, flying for four months now. Would love to see best five under $50 for spring 2019. I've found some toy drones I love in that range. X5x-whatever series from Syma and bayang toys clones, the x4 107c ( and HD), ScharkSpark fq32. Since I'm pretty new at this I'm confident there are many more good fliers in the shallow end of the money pit. Love your videos.

[@saulgoodman7370]

Greetings! I would just like to thank you so much for your time as well as your videos. I was introduced to your channel when I was looking for an RC car to give to my son. Along side his car I bought myself a dromida verso and came across your review of it shortly after, I will keep tuning into your channel to guide me along my now life long hobby of RC driving flyin and no doubt sooner or later sailin. You two must have so much fun, thanks again!

[@DavidHoshor]

The Furibee F36 is a blast, but for a complete beginner, I like the BWhoop B03 altitude hold model. It's very similar to the Furibee F36 with the ducted fans, but the altitude hold lets a complete beginner concentrate on just learning how to guide the quad. The transition to the F36 will be easier for the experience with the the BWhoop B03. The Furibee F36 is now my favorite for indoor use.

[@cyberduck7377]

I love indoor and outdoor micro drones!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Awesome! Happy Flying DUCK!

[@Eagle44]

@@TheRcSaylors Quackery is real ok !!! 😁👍🦅🇺🇸

[@bryanbryant9962]

I have a stack of F36s thanks to your review. I like the F36 so much I can't resist ordering another whenever there is a flash sale!

[@06xl1200l]

F36 is a fantastic little quad. Bought one, liked it so much I bought a second one so friends can fly too. Thank you for your expert reviews on this quad.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Happy we could help 06! Happy Flying!

[@jayi.6448]

Nate & Abby, thank you for this video. I picked up 4 of the furbees for my nieces and nephews and the folding arm drone for my wife (who doesn't like RC's... but I'm going to get her into it with this one). Appreciate all the work and detail. Thank you again for the efforts you make on a pretty regular basis to get us these types of reviews and to show us where to get them. This is my first time ordering via GearBest so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything comes in okay lol :).

[@RaulMiner]

I love videos like these😩😩please make more it really helps me save money 💰 top 5 quads under 100

[@danielthebigo7615]

You both rock. The last Christmas video I bought a RC truck and now this video I finished my shopping and got 2 drones! Thank you again you saved me a lot this Christmas

[@BillKisel]

I really do enjoy these "Best" videos and not just on your channel and not just with the RC hobby. I also like them to be by category and not just price. What makes your videos stand out from most of the others is the lighthearted humor, whether scripted or impromptu, that accompanies the other content. Ps. Is Popeye on the payroll? ;)

[@DJAnthologic]

Agreeed 100% on #1... bought a Furybee F36 for my 8yr old daughter with 4 packs of replacement batteries,,, were both having so much fun with this angry little bee indoors and outdoors. Great little flyer!

[@Rabbitseason420]

im glad you guys came out with these video cant wait for the other ones i want to get a good gps drone so ill keep a look out for that one

[@blight7420]

Honestly , if the girl (Abby I believe) loved drones as much as you brother, I feel she has more "natural" skills and could be quite a good pilot, maybe better. Blessings guys. Thank you for all your input.

[@hotdon1]

I love watching your videos.Iam new at this so far I have destroyed one cheap model from Walmart and I have a syma s107g so far I just seem to crash all the time.Its been two weeks iam just the slowest learner ever after looking at this vid I think I will try the furibee with my fingers crossed.Everyone that people say are easy to fly seem almost impossible for me to learn to use.Again thanks for your vids.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Hey there donald! Since you are newer at flying, have you considered something a little bit larger? They can be easier to see, and maybe something with a Good Altitude hold to help you learn throttle management? Here is a great example of what I am talking about - goo.gl/gnfQ47 Here is our video on it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPVdKaDpN2Lr7c

[@chriscrawford1958]

Thanks for doing this type of video. Love seeing comparisons of several drones within a given price range.

[@chewiens]

Thanks for this video guys. I'm just getting into drone and waiting for my first (number 2 on the list) to arrive

[@froztyYT0721]

This video helped me alot on getting my first small drone thanks so much!

[@tomb1645]

Love ALL your videos and not just for how things work but also for affordability. Your straight forward open honesty is most awesome and appreciated. I've ordered this one based on your reaction to it's flight and review. Thanks again guys. ;)

[@johnaverick7468]

But I did find an JJRC H5P in the wee hours this morning and grab it for $33 to my door.It was just such cheap fun I couldn't resist. lol

[@huevitopipihead]

You did it again, Saylors!!! Excellent selection of R C!!!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much!

[@gamecompanion9416]

Great job on your channel guys!!! i was looking to buy a beginner drone and your video has helped a lot

I really miss the JJRC H31. It's very durable, a lot of fun and you can get it for under 30$! A MUST HAVE!

[@skycarl]

Great list,,, thanks guys.

[@CyberCheese392]

F-36 is the king of budget quadcopters for 2017!! I can't wait to see what 2018 will bring!

Great and very helpful video for this gift giving time of the year.

[@jamesmarler3939]

I have the Cyclone 708 and it’s a great drone good job guys 👍👍

Another great video guys! Keep up the great work. Glad to see the folding arm make #2. I just ordered another!! Thx!

[@kevinnesbitt6666]

Hi Nate & Abby I bought # 5 & #1 Came in today. Only took a month and a half to get here. Love your page have a Bugs 3 on the way also. I am only going to get drones that you guys say are worth getting. Keep up the good work!!!!

[@manster007]

This was my question! Great job RcSaylors.

[@leonardodahumanoid4344]

Hi Nate & Abby, l'm 69 and only recently got into flying 3ch planes. My stepson got me an Echine that looks exactly like the Furbee except it's red and black. When l finally understood all of the instructions l really began to enjoy it . . . until my cat broke it yesterday. So l'm ready for another one. I don't need video right now. I'm looking for power, speed, durability, stunt ability and flight time. That's what brought me to this video. I can't find a review that you have done on the Sky Viper s1750. It appears to check all of the boxes. Have you reviewed it? If not, off the top l sure would appreciate an opinion from each of you on a drone that meets those parameters. I'm going to try to find your live stream tonight at 8:00. I found your site and l read the "about" section. I also watched the video in which you shared personal information. Thank you for that. Don't allow yourselves to get burned out. Balance is critical all all stages of your life. Thanks for all you do! Gary

[@sdcoil]

Thank you! FYI you link for the FPV version of the Furibee F36 is missing

[@jamesgeorge2852]

Another great informative video for the new buyers out there and I'm not sure if I ever congratulated you guys on 100k subs but congratulations! keep up the good work and you'll be at 200k in no time.

[@fpvclub7256]

lol, I love the idea of F36 Bows on all gifts. :) . Just out of curiosity.. What do you like about the F36 over the Eachine E010 or JJRC H36 ?

[@JayBesangreCimafranca]

im glad i subbed to ur channel, shopping for budget drones to practice piloting these little wonders.

[@technicallypossible3058]

Can you guys please please review the visuo XS808HW from gearbest

[@triggamant411]

Technicallypossible already done

[@thatfamousone2067]

Great for people on a budget. Like me

[@bryanbryant9962]

I love the H5, which I discovered from your original review. I picked up 2 more of them recently when GearBest had a flash sale! Does your transmitter beep while you fly? I've flown 2 H5s so far, and in both cases, the transmitter emits a slow beep while flying. At first I thought it was a low battery warning, because it seemed to stop when using freshly charged batteries, but later I decided the battery level makes no difference. Even with the beeping transmitter, I love the unusual red color, the very bright LED lights on the quad, and the very stable flight characteristics. It's stable enough to fly indoors, which I do occasionally!

[@Ken-hs5yu]

Thanks for the tips. Just ordered the F36 Furibee to crash around the house before moving onto a larger drone. Thank you

[@MikeCrabillAvTech]

Another great video! I really enjoy your videos. I live vicariously thru you guys. I’m a USAF vet that worked in general aviation as an avionics tech for 20 years. So I’ve always been into tech and RC. Now I’ve been disabled for 20 years and can only fulfill my RC fix thru your reviews & entertaining videos. Thanks guys! If you ever get tired of a drone, I would give it a good home! If I can ever be of technical help for you, just reach out. I can provide electronics tech support, web dev and just about anything technical. Keep up the great videos!

[@edwardlottigjr.6969]

Y'all had me wanting the furibee on the original video. Seeing it picked as number 1 really makes me want it as my first drone! Might even get my nephew 1 for Christmas. I really enjoy your videos even though, I must admit, I don't hit the LIKE button often. I usually watch in full screen and don't think about it. I go on to the next great video. Say Hi to Popeye for me!

[@1970chevy]

Can you guys do a full review of the remo smaxx it looks cool for the price thinking about getting it. Thanks guys. Love you reviews keep it up.

[@GLHS592]

I know it is not under $50, but I'd like to see you review the Kingkong ET100/115/125 drones.

[@RoseAlchemist22]

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my 8807HD. I ordered it a couple days ago and am glad to see it still sits high on the best cheap drones list for you guys. One day sometime in 2018 however I will be upgrading to the XK X300!

[@sbron99]

Totally unrelated to this video, but have you ever flown the Traxxas Aton ? I had one and it was a beast! Would be cool to see you guys do a review of it. Very versatile machine for beginners and experts.

[@percyj72]

I love this video

[@YungRichOfficial]

What drone has the best 4K camera $50 or below. But I might be able to spend $100 or below if I need to. I need it for music videos but I’m on the budget. If possible would you be able to post a link on a comment for the best 4K camera drone for music video under $100 but preferably under $50?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Sorry Yung. We don't know of any drones with good 4K cameras for $50, or even $100. You can get a decent 720p camera in the $100 range.

[@benjaminoaks3293]

Thanks guys for the info I have a Blade 350 QX that I'm still flying been looking for drones for me nephew's and you guys gave me some grate ideals again Thanks.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Absolutely Benjamin! Thanks for tuning in and Happy Flying!

[@gilsanders8448]

Ordering that f36. Looks like fun. ☺ Thanks guys.

[@didactylos4diddy474]

Good choices. I'd have swapped 1 and 2 simply because the 8807 is such a rarity at the price but I can see why you went that way.

[@pazz2518]

Unfortunately the H5 Quadcopter is no longer available. On your opinion is there any other 20 usd dollar one worth it? Or any other platform where is possible buying it?

[@everyonelovesfriday2045]

Perfect video, just ordered my kids the furibee thanks to you.!!

[@thebaliunicorn5010]

I own the sky viper scout it cost $75 and it's awesome I'm a starter too I also just ordered the 8807-hd because it's so nice

[@benec5816]

Wow now I am getting confused but will try and figure it out thanks heaps

[@Shnickers123]

Hey guys, I’m really new to the whole drone hobby. I am really interested in getting a inexpensive drone that has the camera option and I saw the video on the 8807 HD, when I went to find it online to purchase one I noticed that there are three different types all made by different manufacturers. I was just curiousWhich brand of that 8807 HD you guys had in the video. Thank you, Sean from Birmingham Alabama

[@khalbanks]

I purchased the CSJ-X3 from LighTake. My drone arrived without a charger. Can you tell me what the name of the connector is for battery on the CSJ-X3? I have been able to find additional 3.7v 300mAh batteries and chargers online, but I do not want to purchase batteries with the wrong connector.

[@jay-tbl]

11:38 How the hell does -King Crimson- 8807HD Folding Arm Camera Drone work?

[@k6lsn]

Yep, was just watching F36 mod vids. You should do one and suggest some motors, batts, goggles, etc. Stockings with these and S9s this year, gonna be mayhem..lol. :)

[@gigabangdragon1186]

Hi good video is the visuo xs809hw a good drone for begginig cause I heard its awesome drone and it is easy to use and has like 10 features and has like descent fly time

[@Andy_Holmes]

Here's a bit of an odd question. I'm trying to order from the Gearbest site, but it's asking for passport numbers and a tax ID. I don't have these. How can I place an order?

[@jodyoliverson5030]

Andy Holmes I’m struggling with the same problem. I’m sure I could make something up but it seemed suspicious.

[@Andy_Holmes]

Jody Oliverson I just entered some random numbers. My order is on it's way. Or so they say. My tracking number hasn't shown a result in several days, since they gave it to me. I've read other comments about how they are slow to ship. Just curious. Are you ordering any of the drones in this video? I'm waiting on the top two.

[@jodyoliverson5030]

Andy Holmes thanks for letting me know. I’m very tempted to try it.

[@gregs4247]

Thanks Nate and Abby for a very enjoyable channel. I bought 2 sets of the F36 and I'm really happy with it :). This is my first drone having flown only RC planes years ago. The F36 is a great recommendation for learning to fly indoors, anytime day or night, any weather. Now that I have the basics of flying drones and can react instinctively without having to concentrate so much, what would you recommend for a good outdoor drone that can fly in light breeze ? Preferably without having to spend too much. Any new drones since you put up this video or just pick from this list ?

[@NatanRufino]

I think you forgot the link for the FPV version for the first quadcopter on your list.

[@andipitts9185]

I’ve noticed you only have one Parrot drone on your channel. Is there a reason why you haven’t reviewed more?

[@Thestudiedtheist]

Love the last one, only $10? I cant believe that. Great video. Thanks

[@Lyndon1117]

Great video guys! I was wondering if you could recommend a drone under 50 with the best wind resistance and battery life. I'm new to drones and thought I would ask. Thanks!

[@ralphm923]

Nate, can you do a top 5 list for ground vehicles? Thx

[@TheRcSaylors]

We definitely plan to :)

[@anthonymcgee8933]

RcSaylors, I'm new to the drone/quad game. I would like to buy one to use to record me and my friends fishing. It needs to be easy to use and can hold in place while flying (altitude hold??), while I pull in some BIG BASS. I am on a budget but can spend up to possibly $150, but I would prefer to stay under the $100 range. Could you recommend some good choices for me to check out. I would greatly appreciate it. The 8807 HD-G foldable looks really nice and like it could do the job. Thank You!

[@stanbrewer6079]

Good choices. 👍👍😊

[@John-zt3lv]

Yes, that is a good question. How does one comment/ question about something where you guys will see it , when you have over a thousand videos? Comment on the most recent one or I assume you get a flag as soon as someone makes a comment on any of them? Do this one, or tell me where it is if you already have, the MJX X916H , bugs littlest bro?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Yeah you can comment on any video really and we will see it ;)

[@TheRcSaylors]

Unless they are rolling in too fast, like when we do a give away.

[@ProlificInvention]

Do you guys know of any 18650 battery conversions for different drones? or is that a DIY KZbin thing only?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Not sure of any, sorry!

[@IanFlyinGremlinRCNZ]

Another good video guys. I still love my F36 and I am going to get another one and spare batteries because one is just not enough. also going to look at getting a H5 and Mjx X708 just for bashing around and having fun..All going well I will have a BAYANGTOYS X21 before xmas. and hoping that the RC saylor stickers have arrived by then so I can stick those on

[@ryanp8925]

I just ordered #1 and #2. Thanks, I'm here in Thailand so it should be a quick delivery from China. Also, if I get 2 F36's, is it possible to switch out the batteries?

[@RODEO-sn6du]

Hi. Im Gary ive been battling with these cheap $50 and $100 drones that just cant do it in any wind or just simply break. 8807 , emotion drone etc etc. Im fairly new but can fly. I really want a spark but am looking at trying to get a RYZE TELLO or JD 20 but my money is a lil funny these days. Any chance on getting a lil help from you guys on aquiring one? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanx and keep it up

[@anthroponacious]

You should get a Typhoon H

[@karolinalindqvist4351]

I understand what you say - get something small, cheap to learn on. But my problem is that I only have one working hand, so I can not use a two hand drone. I was thinking gps and altitude hold, but then we immediately get bigger and more expensive and risk flying it away or crashing into something. What can you do with a first drone, to learn to manouver, but that can be controlled with one hand. Can I run both joysticks with two fingers? Are there single joystick controllers? Any ideas?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Maybe check this one out Karolina - goo.gl/QBrp4D Here is our video on it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH7RYaCbhLaajrM

[@clintdavid9331]

Thanks guys because now I know what drone I am going to buy.

[@BBooka]

Beside those 5 I will add Eachine E708 which is right now at 17$ and is the same drone as MJX X708 Cyclone, just different name of company is label. And ofcourse JJRC H31 which I think is the best beginner drone. Yea it's more then 1 year after was put on market. But I can't remember more durable drone for beginners. It can survive so many crashes and still flies. And it's right now just at 22$. The best starter drone. (Y)
