I lost my son’s drone, and I’m looking for ideas on what to get him as a replacement. Any suggestions on what would be a good drone for him?
“I’m sorry, son. Here’s what happened. Let’s go get you a new drone.”
If you borrowed from an adult and lost it, you’d owe him £69, doesn’t your son deserve the same?
Buy a second-hand DJI Mini.
Alright, I’ll be honest. That drone wasn’t great, which is probably why it flew away. It’s also why your son wasn’t using it much. Drones under a hundred bucks aren’t worth it. If you want to get into drones, you could pick up a used DJI Mavic Mini for around $100-200. But if you want your son to really have fun flying drones, check out FPV drones on YouTube. Joshua Bardwell’s Drone Build series is a great place to start. You can turn this into a hobby for your son that will teach him about electronics, programming, soldering, and resilience.
What’s your budget?
