XLURC L106 Pro: Mavic Air 2 alternative under $150

While the Air 2 has a range of 10Km, the XLURC L106 Pro less than 1Km. Flight time is also 5 minutes shorter. But,...

SMRC M21: DJI MINI 2 like drone for less than $100
For less than $100, the SMRC M21 drone follows almost in all aspects the design of the popular MINI 2 drone. Of course for its price tag, we can't expect DJI-grade top-notch features. Also, the M21 comes with cheap low-lifespan brushless motors, instead of reliable brushed ones.
It measures 15x10x7cm with folded arms, and 35x32x7cm unfolded read to fly. With...
