As in 2017 the favorites under $100 were the selfie drones, I think in 2018 it will be the ones with GPS positioning system like this JJRC H55 Tracker.
In addition to the common features (like headless mode and alt-hold), the JJRC H55 has precise GPS assisted one key return to home aka RTH. From now on you don’t need to worry about the battery level. When the 610mAh Li-Po is near empty, besides the APP alert, the aircraft will return autonomously to the take-off point and safely land. Advertised flight time is about 9 minutes.
Like its price tag, the H55 Tracker’s remote controller is very toyish, without any status or live-view screen. On front panel, besides the two sticks, there are 6 control buttons and 4 trimming switches. While the left shoulder button allows to toggle between speed rates, the right one engages the RTH.
In front of the aircraft is located a 720P camera which allows to take photos as well as to record aerial videos. Thanks to the WiFi FPV you can display the camera’s live-video feed on your mobile phone.
