Great Starter Drone For Under $50 Shipped

Ever wanted to buy a drone/quadcopter for a curious first-time pilot but don’t know where to begin? There are tons of options from cheap quads that barely fly all the way up to higher end units with GPS and 4K cameras. No need to worry, there is a pretty solid option to let beginning pilots test the waters air.

The UDI U818A ($49, originally $99) is as close to crash-resistant as you are going to get. Don’t get me wrong, you can crash and break just about anything. But the U818A is strong and lightweight. The U818A is ready to go right out of the box and even includes batteries. It has a built-in camera that can snap photos, take videos, and even do flips. Videos of this great beginner quadcopter/drone after the break.
