When you buy a cheap drone, you don’t have to be stuck with something that’s hard to fly and has a battery that dies after a few minutes of flapping around. Budget drones of today are easy to use and come with features you might think are only available on more professionally expensive models, like smart flight control, camera stabilization, GPS locking, and even 4K live video.
The most sought after, low-cost drones on the market right now are entry-level drones, that are a great way for people who have never flown a drone before to learn the basics, like how to take photos and videos. Compare these high-quality, very affordable drones before spending a lot of money on a more advanced model that may cost you thousands of dollars to replace.

The DJI Mavic Air 2 package combines ease of flight with long battery life and a camera that can shoot 4K video. The Mavic Air 2 can sense and avoid obstacles approaching from the front, back, and below, as well as steadily hold its position, even in moderate winds up to 23.6 mph. This allows you to focus on your cinematography instead of having to worry about keeping the drone steady.
This model also features DJI smart-flight modes such as ActiveTrack, which directs the drone to autonomously follow and film a subject while also avoiding obstacles. Its 34-minute battery life means you don’t have to land for a battery swap as often as you would with the competition. The Mavic Air 2 can go with you almost anywhere: At 7 by 3.8 by 3.3 inches folded and 1.3 pounds, it fits exceptionally well in any drone backpack. This might be at the top end of your budget, though it is worth every dollar.
Product features:
• 34-minute battery
• 7×3.8×3.3 inches
• 1.3 pounds weight
• ActiveTrack
Price: $1,168
The DJI Mini 2 is a less expensive model that still comes with a 4K camera for people who want to take photos with a drone for personal use and share them on social media. Its 31-minute battery life is close to that of more expensive models, but the Mini 2’s camera and sensor aren’t as good as those of professional drones, so it can’t quite match the quality of their photos and videos.
This model folds up to about the size of a person’s hand and weighs only 249 grams, which is just over half a pound and light enough that it doesn’t need to be registered for personal use. The Mini 2 still has the important features you need in a video drone, like image and flight stabilization, a controller that comes with the drone, and smart-flight modes.
Product features:
• 31-minute battery
• 140 × 82 × 57 mm
• 249 g in weight
• Level 5 wind resistance
Price: $499
This high-quality, low-cost drone has a feature called Electronic Image Stabilization, which keeps videos from being blurry and makes video transmission more stable. It uses the pixels outside the visible frame’s edge as a buffer for direction changes. You can take epic, fast-paced shots with the 5GHz FPV transmission. A camera that can be turned 90° and has a 130°FOV lens can get a wide view of every important moment.
Since it has these two navigation modules, the drone can hover more steadily, which makes it less likely to get lost. The drone will use the “return to home” feature when it loses power or signal. There is no need to do hard work to get ready for each flight. The HS700E is very easy for new pilots to use because it has modules for Altitude Hold, Headless Mode, Air Pressure Sensor, and Optical Flow.
Product features:
• 46-minute battery
• 31.4×28.3×16.9 cm
• 1.84 Kilograms
• Return home mode
• Custom flight path
Price: $359
The HD 1080P lens and FPV real-time transmission built into the mini drone let it take high-quality videos and clear photos from the air. With FPV, you can use your phone to see what your drone sees, watch a live video feed from up to 100m away, and share the amazing view on social media with just one click.
With smart features like One-key start/landing, Altitude Hold, and Headless Mode, the A26 mini drone is a must-have for beginners. With one powerful battery, you can fly for up to 10 minutes. However, the drone comes with a storage box and 2 batteries, so you can fly for up to 20 minutes.
Product features:
• 20-minute battery
• 31×31×9.7 Cm
• 139g in weight
• 100m range
Price: $359
