YUNEEC HD RACER

US$179.99 ($236.83), yuneec.com There are big bucks in drone racing now, with prize purses totalling $1 million in the biggest events. FPV drone racing isn’t for everyone, though, as motion sickness often ensnares newbie pilots. So, how can you give this exciting new sport a go without spending a truck load of cash? Try the new Yuneec HD Racer, an affordable FPV racing drone built for beginners and experts, offering a range of flight modes to suit. It only has a sixminute battery life, but that’s enough to blast around a course a few times. The drone can also shoot 1080p video at 60fps, with a low-latency FPV feed putting you in the heart of the action (watch a live feed from the built-in camera on your smartphone or via a compatible FPV headset).

T3 SAYS: Yuneec’s budget flyer is perfect for trying your hand at FPV drone racing without angering your bank manager. TECH-O-METER COOLNESS INNOVATION FEATURES
