Which is the best Quadcopter?

With the development of the RC toys, there are more and more RC quadcopter in the market today, and which is the best quadcopter? Buying the second quadcopter is a a much easier decision, because you already have some basic knowledge and terms of comparison.

When you are decided to buy your first multi-rotor or you only want to offer someone such as gift, take into consideration that even the smallest Cheerson CX-10 model comes with an important precaution: a quadcopter is not a toy and it is recommended to be used only by people in age over 14th.

Best Quadcopter – Basic models

With onboard camera for aerial videos, they are the favorite ones for most of the people. For only $50-$70 you can get a decent sized quadcopter with a 2MP or 5MP camera. Two of the most popular models from this category are the upgraded Syma X5C1 and the JJRC H8C.

Best Quadcopter – Intermediate models

Suitable for those with some basic piloting experience, usually these aircrafts are big sized (350mm) and few of them come with complete first person view system. From this category I can recommend the Syma X8 family which is known to be a very stable flying platform for affordable aerial filming. The X8 series has 3 different models: X8C with HD camera, X8W with WIFI FPV camera and the latest X8G with high quality 8MP camera.

Best Quadcopter – Racing quadcopters

Recommended only for those that love to fly at insane speeds over 100km/s. I’m far away to have the necessary piloting skills for such a racer so I will skip over to make a recommendation for the best racing quadcopter.

Best Quadcopter – Cheap GPS models

This category of quadcopters have features like return to home and mission planner. One of the most popular and probably the best affordable gps quadcopter is the Cheerson CX-20 open source edition as it is a highly upgradable and very customizable model.

Best Quadcopter – Professional range

These types are for those that can afford to spend more than $1000 for such a “toy”. Mainly this range was covered for many years by the popular DJI Phantom but recently appeared many new players on the multi rotor production market wishing to manufacture the best professional quadcopter. Not so many time ago I sow some outstanding aerial videos recorded with the latest model from Yuneec – Electric Aviation. The Typhoon Q500 4K is a truly amazing and versatile aircraft. The only thing holding me to order one is the price which starts from $1500.Best semi professional quadcopter

During last year I tested many models and frankly is very hard to tell which one was the best Quad. Every model has its own advantage and disadvantage. I think the decision must be made according to your budget and the functionalities that you expect from your first drone. In my opinion everyone’s best quadcopter is highlighted among the hundreds of models that are currently on the market by these two essential factors: personal budget and required functionalities.
