SIMTOO XT175 Fairy selfie drone under $150

Featuring fail-safe return to home (RTH), when the flight battery is near empty or it is out of controller’s range, the Simtoo Fairy will return autonomously to the take-of point.

SIMTOO XT175’s camera features WiFi real-time image transmission. You can see on your phone’s screen what the drone sees from the sky. Unfortunately, the FPV range is quite short for such a RC gadget.

SIMTOO XT175: control modes
