Hello. I am new to this forum and also new to quadcopters. I am looking for a good beginners quad that I can learn with, play with and get used to flying. I have narrowed it down to a few options, and I would love some feedback on wich of them are the best choise. First up is the Dromida Omnius. From what I understand it is a easy flyer that can take a hit. At 80$ it seems like a good buy. Second is the WLToys V959. Costing only 60$ this is the cheapest of my options. It also have cheap spare parts, but from what I have read and seen on videos it can be a bit tricky to manouver. Third is the WLToys V222. This is from what I understand a upgraded version of the V959 and is easier to fly. Costing 80$ it is about 20$ more expensive. Worth the extra cost? Last I have the WLToys 262. At about 90$ this is the most expensive of my options, but also the biggest. For all WLToys models I like the options to add the gatling gun, bubble maker and other fun stuff. But mostly that it can connect with a Mobius. I will buy one as soon as I have my skill level up to where I am comfortable flying with it.
Dromida Omnius, Syma X11 or Syma X5 - the X11 is the only one which can be used inside if that's a concern. The X5 can be gotten with a cam..... 959 and 222 are older models at this point. (Update - v959 has the same model number as the old one, but it's updated with 6-axis stabilization, etc. so it's a good machine for those who want to learn basic camera moves)
I would add the Hubsan X4 to that list. Right now, it looks like it's sitting at around $45, but sometimes it will go down to $37 or so. Definitely a good beginning quadcopter. Grab yourself a couple batteries and some spare propellers, and you'll be good to go.
