The year 2020 has witnessed the release of some of the best mainstream drones, which can be bought from local stores as well as e-commerce websites. Let us take a look at the best drones under $300.
- JJPRO FPV Quadcopter Drone
JJR/C has come up with one of the most versatile drone concepts till date. From its sleek design to its features, the company has taken care of everything. You can connect the drone to 5G wifi, which ensures high speed remote control and signal transfer.
Furthermore, the 1080p high definition camera is another cherry on top. This camera can rotate upto 90 degrees, which is a commendable feat when it comes to a drone’s area of vision.
Unlike most of its competitors, JJPRO Quadcopter Drone has a flight time of whooping 36 minutes! This is made possible with the 1800mAh battery which runs on 7.4V current. You can also avail a ‘Follow Me’ feature in which the drone keeps hovering right behind you. This feature is very handy when it comes to monitoring your jogging path or taking care of your children while they’re playing outside.
Moreover, JJPRO has also embedded an auto return feature in the drone, which helps it to return to the source point in case of an emergency or a weak signal, using just a single button.
Despite being a relatively new brand, JJPRO FPV Quadcopter Drone is bound to give a tough competition to its established counterparts.
- Amcrest A6-B Skyview Pro
The Amcrest A6-B Skyview Pro is one of the best drones for beginners. It satisfies every condition to be titled a beginner friendly drone.
If you’re a rookie, there are high chances of mishandling the drone and crashing it to the ground or simply hitting a wall. However, its plastic body makes it a lightweight and durable gadget.
Since it is suitable for beginners, many of you might think of it as a simple drone with propellers. This is a misconception. Amcrest gives an HD First Person View camera which is mounted just under the drone’s hood. Furthermore, it has a flight time of 20 minutes, which can be renewed with removable batteries.
The drone can be operated within a range of 300 metres. Apart from this, gyroscopic axis control stabilizes its altitude.

According to many critics and enthusiasts, the Snaptain SP650 is the magnum opus of mainstream drones in this price range. The camera offers video shooting at 25 FPS along with a 120 degree and 90 degree to offer a wide bird eye perspective. You can easily perform circle fly, 360 degree flip, and high speed rotations by switching to different flight modes.
Furthermore, this behemoth can be equipped with 2 batteries, which can extend the flight time to 24 minutes. Besides shooting videos with an HD camera, you can set the flight path of the drone on your mobile screen so that you don’t have to use the remote control.
Lastly, Snaptain SP650 proves its mettle with the feature of voice control and gesture recognition. This adds extra flexibility to the drone. This feature is unique to Snaptain and this is one of the main reasons why SP650 makes its place in almost every list of the best drones for beginners.
