How to choose your first drone
- Just learning? Pick a model with altitude hold and headless mode — the EC100 has both, so the drone stays level and always flies the way you're facing.
- Buying for a kid? The 5-in-1 DIY kit doubles as a building toy, and look for propeller protection if they'll fly indoors.
- Want better footage? Look for a 1080P or higher camera with FPV streaming to your phone — that's what turns a toy into a camera drone.
