TOP 3 DRONES FOR BEGINNERS UNDER $100

GETTING A DRONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IS A PRETTY AWESOME EXPERIENCE. I remember when I got my first toy RC drone for Christmas. It was a little RC helicopter with two functions. It went up, then it went down. The worst part was that you really didn't tell it where to go, the wind did! Even though the range was only 30 feet with a flight time of about 40 seconds, I still remember waiting for it to charge, going out to fly, crashing it, and at the end of the day I still wanted more. Fast-forward about six years later and here we are today, in a world where little palm sized quadcopters can maneuver in any direction they want, fly faster than you can run, and even record video. Before talking about each drone individually, you should know that there are other drones out there, all with similar prices, but these are the most popular, and my personal favorites. All three of these drones are very fast and agile (unlike most co-axle helicopters), so they can be a bit challenging to fly at first. But once you learn how to properly fly one of these with confidence, you should be able to fly almost any quadcopter (including bigger and more advanced models like the DJI Phantom 2).
