Which drone should I buy?


#1

I was able to fly drone with simulator, now which drone should I buy to try out? Since its my first, I would like to keep a budget of $200. I don’t want to get into assembly, that is higher priority to me when compared to budget. So a little bit over is fine, but it should be plug and play.

I found Tello drones to be in range, but I can’t find good articles or description about coding with drone-kit and what we learned in Drone Programming primer course.

That will be difficult, but you can check https://sky-viper.com/journey/, which doesn’t have good reviews. Can also research if there are any RTF drones with Flywoo some of which have been reported to work with Ardupilot.

I looked up at different places, I can go up to $500 now. But I don’t want to get into assembly, soldering or fixing any wires, I want to stick to coding as that is my strength.

I ordered and paid 1100$ but seems like no update for a week now. What do I do?

Where did you order it from?

I ended up buying Pi zero drone from dronedojo for $600.
