Introduction
In this article, the future user will learn about what his first copter should be like, which features / functions are relevant, and which should not be paid attention at all. In order to subsequently make the most correct choice and get an extremely positive experience from the first possession for further growth in a hobby. And so, we flew!
Brand
Before choosing a drone, familiarize yourself with the most famous developers of budget UAVs on the market. Today popular are Blade NanoEachineWltoysHubsanSymaMJXJJRC
Size
Since the first experience is always associated with a lot of crashes (falls, impacts), it will be best if at the initial stage the copter is small (type nanomini
Controls
Since the main task of the first copter is to teach a beginner to fly confidently, it is important that at all stages of hobby promotion, control is carried out exclusively by an analog control panel. Accordingly, when choosing a drone, it is necessary to exclude models that are controlled by default via a smartphone or any other control method. This approach is due to the fact that in the future the user will have to deal with just this type of control.
Motors
For all drones existing on the market, two types of motors are relevant - brushed and brushless. The best in today's unmanned hobby is built on brushless motors. But for beginners, based on lack of experience and safety considerations, there are enough brushed-type motors with a head. It is also equally important that the motors are not soldered, but have connectors. This will allow you to easily carry out their quick replacement in case of failure, which will occur with relative regularity. Models built on a collector power plant are much cheaper, which is just important for a novice user.
To summarize
As you can see, all the above recommendations will inevitably lead a beginner to a simple and cheap quadrocopter, which, despite its simplicity, will allow a novice user to get a precious experience affecting the device of the simplest unmanned systems, their purpose, the features of safe piloting without auxiliary functions, to get acquainted with possible failures in work and how to prevent them, thereby forming a general awareness and culture of UAV ownership. Of course, you can skip the training stage on cheap copters and immediately purchase an expensive model that will immediately get the expected result in control and shooting, since the manufacturability of such copters allows even a child to do this (in operation it is no more difficult than a smartphone). The difference in approaches is due to the mistakes that everyone who is just starting to learn an unmanned hobby makes. But those who follow the long path of training will work out these mistakes without much regret even in the event of a complete loss of the copter, and those who follow the short path run the risk of being left, at best, with a broken expensive drone at the very first launch. That's all. We hope our recommendations will allow you to make the right choice. Let's add from ourselves - be prudent and remember that those who start small - come to their goal with minimal losses and progressive experience.
