    Hello i am begginer at drones and i want to buy a cheap drone to learn it. But cause my job need a camera i want a drone with a little good camera, a good range and is fpv. I see many drones, like Syma x8g with 5mp camera but isnt fpv, tarantula (something, not remember the full name :p) have also 5mp camera, but is only 5minutes the flight and is China (that means no good production). Also now i see the WLtoys V686G 4Ch 5.8 fpv with 2 mp camera but i see the fligh is about 5-8 minutes but have good camera for 2mp and the range is very very good for the money (i see the video on youtube). Syma x5c is good but the camera is very very bad and if it have a little little wind can't fly. Have anyone to suggest me a drone? Please i have confused so much and i need it. After this i will buy a better drone, i hope . Thanks a lot!

    If you want something NOT made in China, FORGET IT! I believe they are all made there. Unless you want to build one yourself out of China made parts.

    I still think a Hubsan Quads X4 is a great starter drone - you can fly it indoors or outdoors - and learn a lot.

    You are not going to get a good camera on a model for that price. You could buy a Syma X8C and remove the camera and install a Mobius or Yi camera for some decent still photos. Videos will not be good on any drone without a gimbal (in general).
    Our suggested models are here:

    Cause as i said i need the camera to make some videos. I know that the price i search all camera drones are sucks, the only one i see with a little good camera is Syma x8g but it isnt FPV. So i think to take Syma x8c or x8w cause is fpv and buy a little good camera as you said me. But i dont know if the new camera works at FPV and if it easy to make it alone cause i am new at drones. At future if i learn to fly it and make this 2-3 videos i want with my first drone (my job is to sell videos) i think to buy a Phantom drone, but is early to talk about this.
    Or if i can make FPV the Syma x8g will be more better! i dont want to spend more 200-220$ for first time. Also now i see MJX 101 that is fpv and have a little good camera as i see on the youtube. I think i look Syma series X8 and MJX 101 cause is a little big drones. Thanks

    You can do FPV with the Yi or the Mobius or the Runcam. But it takes a small amount of work. You will end up with MUCH better video. You can also use an 808 camera which also has much better quality than the stock cameras.

    This is the 808 - make sure you get the real one, there are a lot of fakes:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DVR-808-Car-Key-Chain-Micro-Camera-16-Real-HD-720P-H-264-Pocket-Camcorder-/180776698380

    So if you want to do FPV with a better camera you need to buy the following:

    1. A quadcopter with enough payload (Syma X8 may be best).
    2. The 808 camera - it comes with cables for composite video output
    3. A transmitter for FPV to be mounted on the quadcopter
    4. A receiver and monitor for you to see what the camera sees.

    If you feel more comfortable with something that is ready-to-fly, you can consider the X8 that works with an iphone (wireless FPV).
    Something like this:

    It's tough to get all you want in your price range, going to your first post the WLtoys V686G FPV may be an OK choice. Like all things to get something a little better usually entails a lot more money.

    The video is actually quite decent for it's class.

    Banggood BTW seems to be a better seller than GearBest.

    I think is hard to do it alone cause i havent idea. I havent touch a drone yet so i think is better to buy a new and when i will buy the second drone i will make some experiments.


    Wltoys seems to be that i need but i read many bad comments from buyers, for example, the engines stop working after 2-3 flights or not working the drone and many others comments.

    My drone of choice would be Syma x5sw, it's cheap, comes with solid FPV camera, and it's medium in size. Ideal for learning how to fly if you ask me!
