At first look, the Attop XT-3 is a good starter drone. It is affordable, portable and has lots of the features that you’d like to see in a beginner quadcopter. It has an alt-hold which keeps autonomously the flight altitude at the desired level. With headless mode enabled, newbies should not have to worry about the aircraft’s orientation. While lowest speed rate is suitable for indoor practice, the highest speed rate will improve the wind resistance during outdoor flights. You can even do Take-offs and Landings with a single button.
Attop XT-3’s design somehow goes to the batmobile car from DC Comics. In front of the aircraft is located a 0.3MP with WiFi real-time image transmission (FPV). The camera allows you to take selfies, photos, and aerial videos.
Just like the JJRC H37, the Attop XT-3 also comes with a nice carry bag. This allows not just the convenient transport of the drone but also its safe storage. My suggestion for long-term storage is to remove the battery from the aircraft. LIPOs also like to be stored half-charged.
As you can see in the image below, the interface of the Attop XT-3 APP is straightforward. You can control the movements of the aircraft either through virtual sticks or through phone’s internal G-sensor (by tilting the phone.)

Who’s for and where to buy the Attop XT-3 selfie quadcopter?
If you are interested in buying your first selfie drone, I would rather suggest you to start with a cheap model like this Attop XT-3, than a much expensive DJI Spark or Mavic Air. I know that lots of cool features power them and also have superior image quality, but drones are fragile. From my experience, many first drones ends at the trashcan due to lack of pilot experience, so it depends on you how much you want to pay to learn the basics of flying a drone.
