10 Easiest FPV Drones To Fly

If you are wondering which are easiest FPV drones to fly, then you are in the right place.

Drones are undoubtedly much fun. If you don’t own one, you should get it as soon as possible. When drones first started becoming a thing, I thought there is no chance they could become available for the reasonable price anytime soon. As you can see now, I was wrong. For around $30, you can now get a drone to play with. Yes, it won’t be something special, but you can’t have it all. Of course, if the price isn’t something that bothers you, then the capabilities of your drone can be huge.

Anyone who owns a drone will tell you that the best to fly are FPV drones (first person view). If you have an FPV drone, this means you can see everything your drone “sees”. The camera mounted on the drone transmits video in real time to the monitor or smartphone of the user. While some remote controllers have a built-in monitor that transmits the video, others have smartphone support which enables you to basically use your smartphone as a monitor. Surprisingly, that is not all. Nowadays you can buy FPV glasses that will enable you to have a whole different experience. This way, you will have a proper VR experience which unfortunately doesn’t come cheap. If you don’t need FPV experience, but you do want a drone equipped with a camera that can be easily controlled, check out our list of 7 Easiest Drones to Fly with a Camera.

To create our list of easiest FPV drones to fly, we first looked at recommendations for drones that are labeled as easy to fly and control by sites like Emissary Drones, Drone Zon, Quora while also taking in consideration drones from our own previously mentioned list. Then we checked if the recommended drones have FPV ability. Those that did were then checked for their rating on drone review sites like Cnet and Digital Trends. The best-reviewed ones entered our list. Let’s take a look.

10. Yuneec Typhon H

If you don’t mind spending big money on a drone and you want to make high-quality videos and pictures, then Yuneec Typhon H is a drone to be considered. Besides being fun and easy to fly, it comes with a 4K camera and 25 minutes of fly time.

9. The Parrot Bebop 2

Parrot is known to manufacture drones that are easy to fly, although that can often mean they have flaws in other departments, but Parrot Bebop 2 seems to be an exception. One of the best features this drone offers is its battery life that lasts 25 minutes. For $699, you will get a drone with a 1080P camera, great battery, 1.24 flight range with Skycontroller. And the entire package includes Skycontroller, and of course FPV goggles. What more could you possibly want?

8. Dromida Vista

Dromida Vista will be a pleasurable experience for both advanced user and beginners. If you activate its easy mode, you will have no trouble flying it even if you have never had experienced flying a drone before. Once you get more comfortable, there is a flight mode that will give you more control over the drone and enable you to do some awesome stunts for 14 minute, which is its usual battery life.

7. Yuneec Breeze

This drone number 7 in our list of easiest FPV drones to fly is recommended for those users who want to enjoy in making aerial photography and videos but are not looking to make a living out of it. It offers lots of different flight modes that will make the drone easier to master, but the battery life isn’t ideal and will give you around 12 minutes of flight time.

6. Parrot AR 2.0

Unlike most of other drones, you will not get a controller of any kind with Parrot AR 2.0, since it relies on your smartphone or tablet. Luckily, you can get a NVIDIA Shield console, which makes the process of controlling and flying the drone in FPV much easier. The flight time is 12 to 18 minutes, which is great for a drone in its price range.

5. UDI U818A

Although it won’t give you a tremendous amount of flying time with battery life being around 7 minutes, you will still have fun with this budget drone. It is highly acclaimed as one of the best beginner drones and you will get an FPV experience for a moderate price.

4. 3DR Solo

Again, we will have to go into pricier drones on our list of easiest FPV drones to fly. Still, for around $800, which is a common retail price for the drone, you will get a reliable drone that is easy to fly and can be used for some serious video and photography making. You will get 15 to 20 minutes of flying time, but with the downside of an hour and half of recharge time.

3. DJI Phantom 3

According to the multiple reviews, we had a chance to read about this drone, you can’t go wrong with DJI Phantom 3 that ranks 3rd in our list of easiest FPV drones to fly.

The drone will enable you up to 23 minutes of flight time with a reasonable quality camera that unfortunately can’t be removed or changed.

2. Hubsan X4 H107D

Ok, you may not have the most amazing FPV experience with this drone, but taking into consideration that it costs less than a $100 and it’s ridiculously easy to fly with altitude hold system and other features, you won’t make a mistake if you decide to buy it. The downside is that you will be able to have fun with it only for about 6 to 7 minutes.

1. DJI Phantom 4

It is only natural that we finish our list of easiest FPV drones to fly with another DJI drone. The company isn’t just one of the best in the business but also makes drones that are good for both beginners and more advanced users. The most reviews of the Phantom 4 model agree that this drone offers the best overall experience which puts him above the competition. It is a bit expensive, coming close to $1000 but at least you’ll get almost half of an hour flying time with the addition of a quality camera.  What else would you need?
