The tech is now good enough and cheap enough for the public to buy and fly with. But before you do that, depending on your budget and intentions, you may want to ask yourself these 5 questions before you buy andfrom the answers, you will be better prepared about what type or kind of droneto buy thats right for you!

    Why Do You Want To Buy A UAV Drone For?Theres many reasons people would want to buy a drone and do so. From professional reasons to novelty/entertainment reasons. To most it is the thrill of being the user of a UAV. The power that it can bring to the operator. And thepossibilities and opportunities that it has. Maybe you are just curious about them and want to try one out for yourself as a hobby and want a small sized learner drone or a professional drone that isnt too expensive but still has somegood features to it like long flight time and good battery life or you want a camera drone to take aerial photos or videos with.

    But mostly to buy a drone you need to have a legitimate reason and fit into either one of two categories. Professionalists or Hobbyists. I guess some could even call themselves professional hobbyists! You may be a professional that

  • needs professional real estate or aerial wedding photos for your work, or you could be someone who races drones. The point is, ask yourself why you want to buy a drone for first before you do and then youll be better prepared to know what kind of drone user you are and what kind of drone you need to buy and whether you really do or not. Of course you do!

    What Kind of UAV Drone User Are You?There are three types of users, professionalists, hobbyists & professional hobbyists. So what kind of drone user category do you fit into? The rookie newbie whos yet to have his first crash or are you a bit of a drone pro already?Do you use a drone as part of your work or business or do you fly drone purelyfor entertainment and real life practical reasons? Or perhaps you are much more involved and are a member of a UAV flying or UAV racing club. If so then you should join the Droneflyers.club and find #droneraces in your area.

    But depending on what kind of drone user you are will depend on what type of drone you should buy thats best for you and your needs. Youre either someone that is going to have a quick fly every now and then when bored, or someone that is going to take it much more seriously and therefore want one of the best drones for sale. So now lets ask what type of drone you need to buy and were nearly finished.

    What Type of Drone Do You Need to Buy?So if youre a starter UAV drone user youll probably want to start with something relatively cheap. Even if money is not a problem to you, to most ofus it is and youre bound to have a prang or crash at some point maybe and find that you either need to buy new parts or a new drone altogether. Especially if you fly too high and far and out of sync with the RC controller and loose it! And if that happens to you more than twice. You

    should look into buying a homing device to locate it on your iPhone!

    You may want a drone for more reasons than just for fun such as for surveillance or aerial photography reasons. You may need a drone for recording video at special events or just to capture that moment forever from an angle and way view not before been possible. If you do then you will need to buy a drone that has a good camera on it and that can take still photos or record high definition video. If you want to race drones then youll need to buy a racing drone that is lightweight and fast! Usually these have realtime FPV video feedback and can perform very nimble acrobatic skills via its responsive controller. No matter what reason you need to buy a drone for. You can find one from budgets as low as under 100 up to 1000 and more. Even though its the higher end, higher priced drones that have more or better features & abilities, thats not to say one cant find a much more reasonable priced UAV

  • drone or quadcopter etc with some fairly decent features that will do what you need and will be less pricey to replace/fix come loss/damage as opposed to a high end drone.

  • What Are The Best Sites to Buy Drones OnlineEasily, Safely and Quickly From?

    Always follow recommendations from people you trust as having real experience buying a or plural drones. Always only shop online at reputable official well known stockists, resellers or outlets. Its good to shop around and do alittle research first. If you already have your heart set on something particular, take a look at it on the actual manufacturers site first and see if you canbuy directly or if they recommend or link you to a seller.

    Also have a look further as you may be able to find it for sale cheaper somewhere else also on another reputable site. Note down the prices including any shipping before you buy the first one you see. Its good to get a great price on an item but think securely when you do as making a purchase like this can be quite an expensive one and not something you might want to repeat too often. To be honest it has been Amazon that Ive used to buy drones from before because they are usually the first place to get hold of them from the manufacturer. But Ive found that otherpeople who shopped around found the same drone at a cheaper price elsewhere and saved money. Example; from RC specialist sites like HobbyKing.com and Xheli.com.

    What Types of Drones Or Quadcopters Can You Buy Legally For Fun?Legally, if youve got the money and its for sale somewhere, theres no laws that says you cannot buy it unless you are living in a country that has laws andrestrictions on what type of UAV drone you can buy. So far, even though the FAA and the CAA have been slow at allowing drone use by civilians in the air space, there are privacy laws being drawn up to cover you for some most basicthings. Every country has their own drone laws and airspace regulations. Somereally dont but U.S. and U.K. states do. Some are quite basic and fairly obvious like you can only fly so high and must always be within line of site of your drone. But these are airspace rules and regulations that are there to protect both you and anyone else around your UAV or UAS (Unmanned Aerial System).

    There is no real laws that say there is only a certain type of drone you can buy.But some do require you to have a license to buy it. For example, you cannot buy any military drones such as a predator drone as a civilian. But as a civilian,there is still a lot of choice of what type of UAV quadcopter drone to buy.
