Each build starts from a curated template and is resolved against the catalog with parts that have a price in at least one store. The price is the lowest across stores, converted to your currency, and counts four motors and four props. Before it is published, the build goes through the 50+ rules of the compatibility engine.
Can you build an FPV drone for under $100?
With new parts and a complete drone, not today: the cheapest on this list costs $167 without goggles or radio. Below that you usually need a ready-built drone (BNF) or second-hand parts.
What FPV drone can you build for $200 or $300?
At today's prices, up to $200: 1.6" Whoop 1S · Indoor. Between $200 and $300: 3" Cinewhoop 4S. Above $300: 2" Toothpick 2S, 4" Long Range 4S, 3" Cinewhoop 4S · DJI O4, 5" Freestyle 6S · Analog, 5" Freestyle 6S · DJI O4, 5" Race 6S, 7" Long Range 6S.
Does the budget include goggles and radio?
No. The totals are the drone only. Goggles and radio are bought once and work with all your drones, and the goggles must use the same video system as the drone.
