Let’s not overcomplicate things: 

A mini drone is exactly what it sounds like – a drone that’s miniature, almost like a toy aircraft. 

And as I’ve pointed out, they’re considered to be an excellent entry-level option. On that note, they’re highly recommended for those exploring the world of drones for the first time. 

They’re not only reasonably priced but a bit more crash-proof, as well, making them a perfect choice for those who’d like to work on their piloting skills before they move onto something bigger – and more expensive, too. 

You see, tiny drones are known for their compact, lightweight frames, often constructed entirely out of molded plastic. And while that might not sound as impressive at first, it’s what gives them their resistance to crash-related damage. 

And when you do crash one, it won’t cost an arm and a leg to repair it! 

Granted, they might not have all the latest bells and whistles of their bigger relatives, but as I hope to show you today, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. As long as you keep your expectations in check, you can be amazed by what these little aircraft are capable of doing. 

There are several essential features you can typically expect to find on the best mini drones – and these include: 

  • Pocket drones usually come fully assembled and ready-to-fly out of the box 
  • The average battery life of the best mini drones offers around six to eight minutes of flight time per full charge, and take about an hour to recharge  
  • They come with remote controllers which allow you to control their direction and perform mid-air stunts 
  • They’re mostly designed for indoor use, but some can fly outdoors, too, as long as there’s no wind 
  • There are mini drones that come equipped with cameras capable of capturing both videos and still photography, as well as providing an FPV experience.

Buying Guide for the Best Mini Drone

You can find a wide range of mini drones out there, including some of the best options present in this article. That being said, if you are still confused, you might run into issues while purchasing one. Hence, we are here with a detailed buying guide related to mini drones that has all of the major aspects and factors related to these mini drones. As a result, you can follow this guide until the end and choose the perfect one for you by going through this buying until the end:

Video Resolution

If you wish to record videos or take photos using the inbuilt camera of your drone, then you should ensure that you are getting a good video quality. While there are various factors that can affect the video resolution of your drone, you can simply check the video resolution offered by your drone to get an idea of its quality.

Usually, these mini drones come with a 720p HD camera for basic video recording. But some advanced or more expensive mini-drones even come with a 1080p FHD camera. Such cameras offer much better video quality and photo output to the user.

Flight Time

The flight time or the battery life of a drone is also quite essential to check. Any mini drone that has a long flight time can be easily used for a long time without needing to change the battery again and again. This flight time of mini-drones is given in minutes as 15 minutes or even 25 minutes in some cases. When compared with each other, the latter option of 25 minutes is the better flight time. Thankfully, you can keep multiple batteries with you to easily extend this flight time as you can simply replace a battery once it runs out.

Size and Weight

Just per the name, all of the drones mentioned in this article are mini-drones. This means that these drones are meant to be compact and ideal for portable usage. Therefore, their size and weight are highly important factors to check while buying such a drone. Any drone that is small and compact does not take space in your backpack for carrying it around. Similarly, a lightweight drone is easy to travel with without increasing the weight in your pockets or backpack.

Accessories

A lot of the mini-drone options out there come with various kinds of accessories included out of the box. This can include things like carrying cases, extra propellers, propeller guards, extra batteries, and much more. While these things might not change the performance numbers of a drone, they can certainly make the overall experience much better by making the drone easy to fly. Therefore, any drone that comes with a wide range of accessories included in the box is considered to be a value for money option.

Range

If you are familiar with drones, then you must know that these are controlled using radio controllers. Since these radio signals have a certain range or limit, the drone also itself has a maximum range. This tells you the maximum distance that you can cover using a drone without losing its control.

While some options offer a range of 50 meters, better options might come with a range of 100 meters. Usually, smaller drones have a lower range than much bigger ones. Any drone that offers a long-range to the user can be used for taking all kinds of aerial footage with ease.

What to Know Before Traveling With a Drone


So you’ve joined the ranks of drone owners, and want to take one along on your next trip. It feels like it should be as simple as unpacking it, letting it loose, and capturing amazing footage, right?

Not so fast. Drones are being increasingly regulated, with limits on where they can be used, whether you need a permit to fly them, or if they’re allowed at all. Ignoring the rules often means fines and/or confiscation if you’re caught.

Both the United States and United Kingdom have introduced licensing requirements for drones and/or the people that fly them, while Australia is planning something similar.

In Colombia, only drones under 55lb (25 kg) are permitted. Portugal, on the other hand, only allows drone flights during the day, and never over groups of more than 12 people. In Singapore, drones can’t fly within 3.1 miles (5 km) of any airport.

Countries like Argentina allow drones to fly freely if they have been registered, and a fee paid, before entering the country. Others, including India, Madagascar, and Paraguay, demand you obtain permission from the relevant authority. Certain countries or regions don’t allow drones at all, like Antarctica and Vatican City.

These restrictions are for recreational use only. For commercial use, drones almost always need to be registered before entering the country.

All of the above is just a sample, and rules change all the time. For a more complete, regularly-updated list of drone regulations, check out this excellent guide by Anil Polat. iOS and Android app versions of the guide are also available.

What are Mini Drones?

Before presenting the best mini drones, the definition of a mini drone needs to be established. This is done by the frame size measurement. This is the distance from opposite corner motors. Nano drones can fit on your hand, while mini drones are the size of your hand.

These are basically the smallest after the nano drones size of the drone family. They are probably the first flying experience for most drone pilots and the fact that they are great both outdoors and indoors make them a favorite. They are not only affordable but also resistant to crashes making them the ideal starting point for the beginner class.

The one drawback of this type of drone is that it is lacking in features as compared to the other quadcopters but for a hobbyist, this is the best option for fun.

There are several things you need to consider before you buy yourself a mini drone.

Best Mini Drone Features

The best mini drones may be small, but offer lots of fun both inside and outside. The compact size of the quadcopter and the controller allows you to take it anywhere with you. Also, the smaller size makes crashes less destructive due to its smaller mass.

Most of the mini drones presented here have some common features. The power to fly is provided by a rechargeable battery. A USB charging cable is included for this purpose. You can expect to have flying times from 6 to 9 minutes, so you may want to get a few extra batteries to get some extra flying time. The control range is about the same since they all use 2.4GHz, 4 channel controller.

These quadcopters all have internal gyroscopes for improved flight stability, and have a low and high flight modes. The low flight mode is perfect for beginner fliers. The propeller guards are a great idea, especially if you plan on flying indoors.

The best mini drones listed here are almost all under 50 dollars. This is affordable for just about anyone. It makes a great gift for someone, or a nice way to treat yourself. It is also a great way to get started with drone flying.

Since you can expect to crash a few times, and the flying time is limited, you should get some extra propellers and a few extra batteries. Most of these drones come with some spare parts, and you can also buy some crash packs for spare parts.

Drone Flying Skill Level

Before starting, it is important that you know where you lie in as far as skill level is concerned. This will not only make it easier to navigate but also less costly in case of collisions. Beginners are advised to go for cheaper drones for training while those with flying experience can go for a more advanced version.

Drone Flying Purpose

Now that you have an idea on your skill level, it is best you know the reason why you want to get a mini drone. Depending on what the purpose may be, there are different drones to serve each one of them. While some drones will allow you to take photos and videos, others can be used for racing both indoor and outdoor. But even with the purpose you go for, there are different models that offer different qualities provided you are willing to spend more cash.

Drone Flight time

This is basically the amount of time a drone is able to fly once it is launched. Flight time depends on a number of factors, for example, the weight, battery size, as well as flying style. A typical drone would last for at least 20 minutes after takeoff, but drones with this flight time are more pricey. A cheaper drone will last for about 7-10 minutes.

GPS Sensors

This allows you to set specific coordinates depending on where you intend to get your drone. Once set, this is an automatic process that will enable the drone to get to the location at a push of a button. Although they are mostly found on high-end quadcopters, GPS sensors are useful for flight navigation. With the miniaturization of technology GPS sensors will be soon available in mini drones.

Drone Camera

It is important you go for a drone that will offer the best picture quality. But if this is not within your reach, a cheaper version can also give decent results. Although for the cheaper versions the First Person Viewing (FPV) capability is not available and the resolution cannot be compared to advanced models.

Drone Transmitters

Also known as the controller, the transmitter is the gadget that allows you to pilot the micro quadcopter. Most controllers comprise two analog sticks and operate at a frequency of 2.4GHz. These controllers come with different capabilities depending on how much you wish to spend. There are those that display real-time diagnostics through built-in LCD monitors and others without any of these features. The LCD support makes the flight experience more interesting and the feedback helps to improve pilot coordination.

That said, the final verdict is that you should purchase according to your. Look for a mini drone that would offer you a sense of satisfaction and fun without having to dig deeper into your pocket.

WHY SHOULD I BUY A MINI DRONE?

Well, it’s a no-brainer! They have wonderful features are packed in a cute, tiny frame!

THE AFFORDABLE PRICE

The first reason why you should consider buying one of these devices is their reasonable price. Many of the professional drones on the market can cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars, but these little drones are pretty affordable to the average consumer. They may not offer the same camera quality or flight time, but they are pretty fun and easy to deal with.

GREAT DESIGN & NO REGISTRATION

These drones are also tinier and more portable than their pricier alternatives, and everybody knows that having portability is a big plus nowadays in our society. Their small size and weight also mean that they do not have to be registered with any government agencies.

The fact that the heavier drones have to be registered in most first world countries around the world has turned off a lot of people who would have otherwise been very interested in drone flying. The little drones featured here do not require registration and they offer people the chance to enjoy piloting an UAV without the hassle and cost that come with registration.

GOOD FLIGHT TIME AND BATTERY

The charging and flight times of these drones have also been one of the many reasons why people are attracted to them in the first place. Take for example the Hubsan FPV X4 H107D Plus quadcopter. It uses a high performance Li-Po battery with a capacity of 530 mAh and a voltage of 3.7V. This battery will give you a flight time of around 6 minutes and you can recharge it using its USB charging cable and have it full again in about an hour. The Parrot Mini Rolling Spider has a similar configuration but you will get about 8 minutes of flying time from it if you remove its wheels.

The battery of the SKEYE Nano drone has a capacity of 380 mAh but it is able to offer a flight time of about 7-8 minutes. It is able to charge up from 0% to 100% in half an hour. This is the longest flight time of all the drones that we reviewed and it just speaks to the sheer quality and efficiency of the machine.

The Syma X5C also boasts a 7 minute flying time and it has a battery capacity of 500 mAh. This is a lot compared to the Cheerson CX-10C which has a small capacity of only 120 mAh. As a result, it c an only manage 2.5-4 minutes of flying time but its fast charging time of only 25 minutes makes up for this and ensures that you won’t be out of the action for too long.

OTHER GREAT FEATURES

All these drones also have beautiful LED lights placed strategically all over their bodies to help their flyers identify them more easily when they are flying them at night time. These lights are also accompanied by beautiful designs which both work together to make the drones extremely attractive in the day time and at nighttime.

All these features make these mini quads quite desirable to curious buyers and drone enthusiasts alike. Grab yours now before they are all gone.

WHERE TO FLY THEM AND SAFETY MEASURES

These drones have a maximum flight distance of 30 meters away from their respective controllers and so you will want to keep them within your line of sight when you are flying them. Also, ensure that you consider their respective flight times so that you can fly them and bring them back to you safely before they run out of juice.

You should also adhere to the drone rules that exist within your area. Each area will have their own specific rules that you must adhere to and failure to do so could result in you being fined, imprisoned or both. Do not allow this to happen to you. Ensure that you follow all locals drone rules.

If you are unsure of what your local rules are, it may help you to know these general drone rules that are shared by most countries around the world. You should remember to keep your drones away from manned aircrafts, such as airplanes and helicopters. You should not fly your drone within 5 miles of a heliport or an airport and you should not use them to take pictures of other people or their property without their prior consent.

It also goes without saying that you should not use your drones to conduct illegal surveillance of people or their property and you should not use your drones for spying. Also do not modify your drones and use them to do illegal acts such as vandalism.

Remember to check your local laws as they may be stricter or more lenient than the general rules that I just shared with you.
