Top 5 Best Drones Under $100 2018 - TheRcSaylors

[@ricomon64]

While most people take a break from work on the holidays, you guys spent a lot of your Thanksgiving doing these videos for us. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates the sacrifice of your time. Thank you!

[@Przyhodnik1]

Awesome stuff! I just watched what may have been one of your firsr videos. On the beach getting salt water into your RC car. It is crazy to see the transformation of both of you. What a neat couple and now that you are parents........this video shows me the reason I think we are all on earth and that is for children. I am 58 retired at 55 and had way too much time on my hands. Been heavy into photography for 10 years and do some professional work when I feel like it. I was bored living on the cliff over the lake here in Branson Missouri. Was surfing the net about 6 months ago and have watched I could not tell you have many RCSaylors videos. I wanted to get into a hobby and you two convinced me to get into the RC world. I started with A buggy you recommended the WLtoys 959B. That little thing is CRAZY fast and really is hobby level as I have replaced lot of parts and have had so much fun with it. Now looking and upgrading into the $200-300 range of buggy and will do so based on your recommendations. Also will be ordering your number #1 recommendation from today. Will probably get a Bugs 3HW to get the altitude hold as well. I take my dog ( Maddie ) and we go for about 2 hours a day doing both Buggy and Drone. I have had a couple under $100 drones and basically bought them to learn to fly and enjoy. My goal was to see which one of these hobbies I wanted to really get into. I will never buy an expensive toy as I will break them or lose them anyways. However, I have been interested in incorporating my photography with some drone shots of the beautiful area my wife and I live in. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH for all the hours of entertainment you have given me and I truly mean it when I say YOU TWO are such a fun loving couple and I look forward to watching you as parents as well. What a lucky child to have you two as parents. Would love to win any one of your giveaways just because it would mean something to me to have it from U2. My wife and I just finished a 3 year project of renovating an 1886 Victorian in Wichita and then sold it a few weeks ago. Now the goal is to get into a bus conversion by spring time and do our hobbies all over the USA while staying off the major highways because I want to take photos of small towns and non-touristy areas. Having multiple RC toys and Cameras will fit easily into our rig and I am as excited as a kid. THANK YOU For proving to me that the RC world is not just for kids anymore. I like looking at your vids and looking at RC stuff so much that I spend at least 2 hours a day now somehow related to RC by either being out there doing it or researching it. I look forward to many more of your videos! Could never make up my mind between cars and drones so I WILL continue to buy and play with both Drones and Cars. Thanks U2, Franco

[@robertredzich7292]

Hey Frank, made me laugh. I saw many parallels between us. 58 here too. Still working like a dog though. The RV with the RCs is a a likely future quest for me too. Couse, when I stop being a working dog and settle into more of a dog's life it might be an electric RV I'm cruising in.

[@VictorHernandez-vi9ii]

OMG! Ive been missing a whole lot guys. Congratulations on Amelia shes beautiful. Wow I see it now...Amelia grown flying the quads. Happy for you all. Congrats again. Will be here more often.

[@bryanbryant9962]

2:25 Bugs 3 quickly became a classic. The later variants are great, but my favorite is the basic original.

[@TheTootie52]

Fun to watch...lol...strike a match!!! Have the cross wing and the speeder bike!! Soooo fun!

[@nicksrgieseking7201]

this video was the first video of you guys from this point on i very rarely watch any one else well you are in the races with caption drone and Ken Heron. love you guys and the little one

[@chip5.0ax22]

Just got a Propel X Wing for $30 on Black Friday. Never would have picked it up if I hadn’t seen your video. The thing is stupid fun.

[@kenappleby8481]

I was just thinking the other day that I miss the top drone videos from you guys - and BAM here they are again :)

[@davidjones-gd7gq]

I just love your honesty and this is something I look for in a video. Your also very informative. I just got done buying several of the $25 drones for Christmas. And what a good baby you have you are really blessed keep up the good work.

[@iKumala]

The Shark is on flash sale at Gearbest for $55-- and it this is the 720p model with THREE extra batteries. Hard to beat.

[@glennmccormick8661]

My son turns 11 at the end of the month and I think he would enjoy a drone. I was planning to spend $150 or so on a good drone. However after watching your video I bought 3 drones for his birthday. I bought the X-wing and Tie fighter so we can battle and the Tianqu Visuo Shark with 3 batteries. Thanks for your most helpful video.

[@shaunlethbridge491]

Hey love watching your video and your # 1 pick the battle shark absolutely love it have had a couple weeks now ty for the recommendation

[@lleemon]

13:58 you ask what category you should do next? I would say airplanes but having only 15 airplanes out of the last 324 videos not a lot to pick from so guessing cars will give the users the next best TOP list since you show them around 25% of the time.

[@winworkssystem2968]

You guys are fun to watch very adorable your baby is the star of the show lol. Buying 2 of your drones reviewed.

[@mtlovesongs]

Thank you both for all the time and effort that you have put into advancing our hobbies. I have learned so much from your videos! I am a 67 year old who loves rc, and I am the worst drone pilot on the planet, but I keep trying and spending and looking up into my cottonwoods at the drones stuck up in them fondly, without regret, because I am having such a good time! Amelia is beautiful, but trust me, the mustache has to go Nate. Paul in Mt.

[@fmassey100]

Got two Visuo Shark Drones for my son and I based on this and the full review. The drones are awesome and the the flight time is amazing. Purchased with the extra battery for each one to extend the fun time flying these drones. First flight was in a pretty steady wind of about 6 - 8 mph and still handled great. Thank you for the video reviews! Now to get the Star Wars drones.

[@jdsreid]

Great video and I'm liking your channel... I bought that Xwing drone for my 7 year old son for Christmas. I might get myself the Tie fighter. He will be so excited! First drone in the house. Have a few ground R/Cs.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Great choice Doug!! You guys will have so much fun flying them together :-) Remember, they can do combat with each other as well. Happy Flying!

[@buddhaAl]

Great job giving great videos and making it more interesting by sharing family with us all!

[@gavovids]

I’m looking for my first drone, I’m a beginner what should I get?

[@Cerru5426]

Oh, you like the visou shark? Visou just released a new GPS, 720p drone called the Visou XS12. If you could, please review this drone

[@Nezuko28280]

I really enjoyed watching your video and the family . Please hug this beautifull baby. Thank’s!

[@Magic3DPrinting]

Hey guys! I know this is your 2018 review of drones under $100 but I'm looking for a inexpensive drone for my grandkids. I trust you guys where as I don't trust some of the other reviewers. My DJI drones (Phantom 4 and Mavic Mini) both have GPS but I'm not sure how that compares to Altitude stabilization. Maybe you can clue me in. They would probably love a couple of the Star Wars drones but my main concern is ease of flight. SO now that we're almost in 2020 could you please provide a recommendation? Also a link to make the purchase through you would be great. I absolutely love your drone videos!! BTW you have sure an awesome family and Abby is pretty easy on the eyes lol!

[@rabblerob2757]

I have been following your channel for some time now. Couldn't say how long. I drop in and out so I don't catch everything but I absolutely love your top "x" under "y" videos. I bought a 12428 ultimately because of y'all. Love it. I have bought others but can't remember the model numbers. Your videos have provided me with plans for boats,and other ground vehicles. I recently became interested in pocket drones and are again using the 2 of you to plan my budget friendly drone desires. Well, 3 now. Lol

[@merrillsteify]

Are you planning a review on the XS812S ? I think I have the number right?

[@toddsimmons4937]

Great video guys, congratulations on your new baby awesome!!!

[@shadowman9173]

Lol. Got to love those unpredictable "strong numbers twos" when they're wee little people. I own a few of the drones in this list already. I think I have to take my tie fighter for a spin now. : )

[@bradreed8677]

Getting pretty good with the dad jokes Nate. Keep up the good work.

[@jmsdishman1]

I have two of the Star wars drones. they are super cool . And you're right the detail is incredible . Thanks for the look .

[@davidratliff4305]

Thank you for giving me a shopping list for my friends and family. The jokes will get worse as time goes by. Lol I'm glad you kept it real and didn't edit Amelia's contributions. 🤣

[@bryanbryant9962]

"I'm glad you kept it real and didn't edit Amelia's contributions." Yes, keeping it real is one of my favorite aspects of TheRCSaylors!

[@chriscrawford1958]

On the XK X-520, I highly recommend the option with the better transmitter, and without the camera (the camera is worthless anyway). In case you hadn’t realized it by now, it is an option to “edit out” the baby pooping on camera! I think I could smell it through KZbin! What can I say,... when you gotta go, you gotta go!!! 😘

[@marklohnes8316]

You do every kind of drones - flyers, cameras, even boats. But can you recommend a waterproof drone? I want to use it for fishing. The Goolsky Q353 is good but I want more than 8 minutes and it should be under $300.

[@telephony]

Have you guys tried the Striker-X Pro HD Live Feed Camera GPS Drone? I snagged one today for a nice price (just under $53) -- I got it primarily because it has GPS and as a result I'm less likely to have it go down somewhere inaccessible to me in my electric wheelchair. However I'm completely uncertain as to how well (or how craptastically) it will fly.

[@therealgelly6696]

Hey Saylors! I love these videos. This is what got me absolutely hooked on your channel. Just got my Drocon DC-65 in and love it. You guys are great.

[@ilocosboy]

i don't have one yet but i am looking forward getting one for fishing that can fly out lead and bait ( 2 -3 lb), what do you recommend.

[@TheRcSaylors]

There is actually a drone made for that specifically that we plan to test when it warms back up :-)

[@chrismoore-keish7476]

Since following you three, now you four, my drone and rc plane collection has grown. After this most recent "Top 5" I quickly purchased the Propel X-Wing. It arrived today, OMG. What a fun little drone. Keep up the good reviews and the advice. Cheers, Chris

[@TheRcSaylors]

:-) So glad to hear that Chris! I LOVE that thing so much! The level of quality in it is just unmatched by anything under $100 (probably because it was initially worth $200) Happy Flying my friend!

[@acgayle2494]

Just ordered the Tianqu Visuo XS809S Shark, gonna try it .

[@RavenWindrunner]

I'd love to see a best drones oreinted more to racing, like FPV starter drones.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thanks for the recommendation Ravenclaw!

[@Thecaptnjp]

Good morning RC Saylors & everyone! WOW!!! What a fantastically entertaining & awesomely important, TOP 5 video review & commentary, my friends!!! LOL!!! I actually watched this one, twice!!! OMG, talk about timing, Amelia took care of "business" precisely, at the right time!!! LOL!!! "A strong number 2!" Oh man I just can't get that, out of my head!!! OK, OK, I've calmed down some....I.think your choices were perfect, because they were spread across so many formats or types - Theme/Battle drones, FPV & non FPV drones, the VTOL & a GPS camera drone - an awesome selection! It was very fun, to see Amelia awake, with her eyes open this time - you guys are so blessed to have Amelia & it's just great, fun to see her! Take exquisite care! JP

[@walk4718]

Thanks so much for the info. You guys are just terminally cute and your baby girl is precious.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much James :-)

[@ennoidyam]

That last one was almost perfect except it sux that the blades can be seen in the camera -- ruins every video shot you capture. Is the camera fixed or xan ot be rotated down so u dont get the blades in your shot?

[@mousa65]

Nice video I love drones and I like the bugs 3, popeye makes laugh when he tries to grab them.Little Amelia she is so cute God bless her.

[@jeff0566jsm]

Congratulations Nate & Abby! So, So Happy for you both! God is soooooo good! Respectfully, Jeff Mercer Mentor, Ohio

[@jonathankohl6264]

Always look forward to the top 5 lists you guys do. It was pretty spot on. Now that you're a dad you have a license to be corny.

[@Warwick3511]

I would like to see one or two ground ones (with a price split). was there enough to do a boat one?

[@sempaibrian610]

Thanks for reminding me about these drones. I just purchased all three of these for a total of $109 including tax.

[@TheRcSaylors]

That is awesome Sempai! Happy Flying my friend :-)

[@thedrive8484]

Great review, which do you recommend today that I get under $100 I need the best camera or one that can carry a GoPro without shaking it I'm using this for web commercials

[@jamesmarler3939]

I like the shark drone and the Star Wars drone too, great job guys 👍

[@BigAlFPV17]

I think the next video should be the top 5 RC trucks. Awesome picks Nate, Abby, Amelia, & Popeye!!

[@michaelm9061]

Great video and love the airplane style ones. I fly dji stuff normally but just ordered the visuo xs812 yesterday for under 100 bucks. Hopefully it would make that lost. I got this one because of the gps, follow me, etc modes. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@bijaywanders]

Hubsan H216A X4 Desire Pro vs Visuo xs809 which one has better camera??

[@JohnMartin-vc5dj]

Love it for under $100. Need all sent to me.cheers John what to find bait fish with a cheap drone

[@thef.a.c.e.foundation8316]

I'm new to the channel. Just suscribed because you seem to have exactly the content I was/am looking for! Looking forward to seeing more! And Congrats on your new baby. I am a recent father myself!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much Goodness :-) We are very glad to have you on board my friend. Congrats as well to being a new Dad!

[@thef.a.c.e.foundation8316]

Thank you!

[@thepetdeerchannelwithrober7806]

What A Wonderful Family!! It's Quite Obvious That You Guys Love Each Other Very Much Because You Both Radiate With The Love You Have For Each Other And Your Child So With That I Want To Thank You Very Much For Your Review.!!!!

[@MrThree1zero]

Just found your channel, definitely subbing. I've been super interested in drones for a few years now but I've been waiting for prices to drop. And now seems to be the right time 👍. Thanks guys for video

[@gvanausdle]

You guys are right the bugs 3 is great. I lost mine and I liked it so much I bought it again. Gotta have it in my collection. More care full now, hopefully. Bought the vtol too. Again your right it's slot of fun. Oh and very entertaining :)

[@papapsadventures6119]

What's the real deal with drones and FAA regs? Do I need some kind of license or permit to fly a drone?

[@deandaniels203]

Hi guys,are you going to do a top 5 rc off road trucks under $100.

[@dcd2060]

How long does it take to arrive? Just ordered a Shark xs809s

[@WaldenSpawn]

Thanks, first place I come when shopping for my boys! Going with #1!

[@dannydgeek]

Great list. And Nate, you're the king of the segue with that #2! Haha. Thanks for the great reviews.

[@koenster]

There was more give away then the vtol right? Where did that go?

[@dbcrum1]

Another great video. For me I would like to see top 5 GPS drones under $200 if there is such a category worth recommending..

[@yoelfebus1144]

hi guys I would like to know between the bugs 3 and the shark battle or battle shark wich is better??

[@yoelfebus1144]

Iam new in the hobby. I also I would like to know in your favorite rc cars or truck amd your favorite drones under $150

[@RobertSpreadborough]

I got a juan drone but it only streams to your phone - I get about a frame every 3 seconds - only get a drone if the camera streams to a local sd card so that you get smooth footage - it should also stream to your phone also of course

[@Duranafy]

Love your channel. Your channel was the first I subscribed to. FYI, I sent my sister in-law your link to enable her to make a good decision. She is looking to purchase a drone for her son. I must admit that I'm partial to Hubsan, because, the H501s was my first GPS drone. I also pre-order the Hubsan Zino, and I cant wait to test it and possibly post a review video. I also own a DJI Spark, and it is also my favorite travel drone.

[@cruithnig690]

Just checked out the Star War To Bomber drone...nearly $300.00....!!!!! But looks real nice.....👍

[@jasonsaez3668]

Wow, Amelia drops a bomb and the whole video stops!!! LOL, love you guys!!!!

[@ksoonsoon]

Looking for a beginner drone under $100 for my 8 year old. Love the Star Wars ones, but might be too advanced? Suggestions? Thanks!!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

This is the perfect video to get you going in the right direction, but I'll link an even better one for ya, and I think you'll REALLY like our number one pick - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ape4iKGGodmfh6s - That is our video link. Here is a link to the drone - goo.gl/dd4B1J Here is a link to our full video of that drone - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWW6c3ysatdsi7c

[@rnrBayless]

Rc sailers what do you think of the sharper image dx 4 or dx5 ??????

[@rodneylw10]

Greetings. I am looking for a drone to use with students that is easy to fly and has a dedicated controller without a phone needed. Ideas for a good one?

[@chriscrawford1958]

While you’re doing these kind of “end-of-year” recaps,... I’m still obsessed with the Carbon Cub. I haven’t got one yet, but.....Xmas is right around the corner! Is there anything out there similar to the Carbon Cub, or is it in a class by itself?

[@IanFlyinGremlinRCNZ]

Another great video..Amelia is for sure providing alot of entertainment..lol...Well finally after waiting for a little over a month, My very 1st BUGS arrived, I got the BUGS3 Mini.(Yes saw it on your channel) WHOOOHOO!!! charge up battery ready to fly, weather turned on me..but this morning its nice an fine out, so going for maiden flight today..Its not going to be my only Bugs either I am looking at Bugs3 under $100 NZD at the moment...

[@druscanam]

[@jazznik2]

Love the lists. How about a list of best inexpensive built-in camera drones?

[@SunshineCoastAnt]

Another great video!! I’m actually waiting for my shark drone to be delivered.

[@esgaming944]

Hey Sailors Hows the Tello? What would be good to buy now?

[@lasmyth9656]

Brushless wins, and Bugs3 w/action cam is great, without AH, as affects performance. Brushed motor, are nothing but toys. I have a bunch, but has to be a calm day to fly.

[@luapgn]

Again, because of this channel, I have 3 out of the 5 you featured. Plus, I also bought all three Star Wars dries when they were on sale! 😀

[@dexter2433]

can tell all ready they will be super mom and dad ....do not know why or how but you can tell awesome parents they will be ....two years from now she will be doing the reviews you watch :-)

[@nigelwiffen1453]

[@dylanwhite6539]

I really want to see a Traxxas Aton on this list. It is $300-$380 USD but is very good. Go for the Aton + model. It has a gimbal and a 5Ah battery. Battery in the standard is very meh

[@lowlidx50]

would like to see top 3 -5 drones for under $200 and $400 $ 600 or similar type , maybe all in one video

[@emasbury]

Great video,,, can't wait to see Amelia flying drones,,,, not as a passenger but as a pilot. :)

[@aaronjones8254]

Bugs 3 with an all in one camera and cheap fpv goggles I run 4 or more packs through it a day my favoriate good range quick and punchy and durable

[@bigbadgun1]

[@TheRcSaylors]

That's awesome Robert, we will check it out! Thanks for tuning in :-)

[@charleshenderson3447]

You guys are awesome! Bad dad, great pilot!!

[@richiebricker]

Just bought the Bugs 3 to help find my JJpro x5 epik that went down in some thick brush and boulders. This thing is a little hard to fly. Its basicly a large version of a race drone. Ive been flying drones well over 2 yrs and its still a handfull. good thing its tough cuz u will crash this thing

[@richiebricker]

After I find My X5 Epik i will probably use the brushess motors on a brushed helocopter or sell it on the ebay

[@edwarddietrich717]

#2 LOL. perfect timing! Thanks kids!

[@t39gamer]

what do think about the aton drone

[@thomaswaldorf9141]

[@bryanbryant9962]

"tell flying Ryan rc to come back" Wow, he's been gone so long I almost forgot about him. He had a great channel. I wonder why he quit??

[@FarrellMcGovern]

I miss his channel...I hope he comes back! but if not, I wish him well with whatever he is doing now.

[@gavovids]

You should make a more recent one now!
