Hey all, I bought a drone about a week ago, and I've been playing the heck out of it in quarantine. It's a toy-grade quadcopter that I bought off amazon for about 15 usd (propel atom). I wanted to go a little further, so I was wondering if anyone could give me recommendations for drones. I would prefer something that is not a toy because I would really like to swap out the battery for longer playtime, and I find the controls on the toy drone limiting- Even the fastest speed is kind of slow, and the drone can't 'rotate' fast enough.
I would like something that I can fly indoors, in a kind of cramped apartment. I would also be willing to build it, although I don't have any experience. I don't really need to mount a camera. I would prefer to have the drone cost less that 50 bucks, if at all possible.
List of features, in order of preference:
1) cheap
2) small as possible
2) responsive and nimble controls (racing drone controls?)
3) swappable battery
So I guess I wouldn't even need it to be hobby grade. If I could somehow mod the drone to fly with no assists, I would be happy. I would be willing to assemble, but I don't have a soldering kit at home.
Any direction in what to buy/ what to build would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
