In the post below, I’ve highlighted a few places that you can go to buy a drone online or in-person. The first few listings are general sites that beginners can use to find a fully assembled drone for sale. The other listings are there for more advanced users who want to find a particular part or component for their drone. Let me know what you think via a comment below!

1. Amazon

If you’re just starting with a drone and want to get your hands on the real thing, one of the bigger outlets like Amazon is your best bet to find a little bit of everything related to Drone technology.

You can purchase one of the recreational drones, photo-enabled drones, or some of the accessories. As you progress, you can get into more of the technical aspects of owning a drone or making your own!

2. Google

For the first-time drone owner, Google’s patented “store” has a lot of choices in terms of purchasing assembled drones and parts. If you haven’t used google’s store before, each listing will link you to a variety of places where you can purchase the particular item.

It’s best to google each item you find that doesn’t have any ratings so that you can check out some online reviews before actually purchasing the drone.

3. Ebay

Depending in your location, Ebay is also another e-commerce store to find drones for sale in a variety of makes, models, and types. Although my first choice would be Amazon or google’s store, Ebay also offers a lot of items to choose from for drone-lovers.

You can filter the search results by camera type, integrations, brand, connectivity, and more.

4. Walmart

If you are purchasing your first drone, it’s difficult to go wrong with Walmart, particularly if you are purchasing the drone as a gift for a friend or family member. Not only does Walmart have a big selection of already-assembled drones, but it’s an easy location to go and check out the box and see what you’re getting yourself into.

Although Walmart does have a nice selection and reviews, I’d be sure to do your own research on each particular drone that you are thinking of buying to be sure to the widest possible seller feedback.

5. MyFirstDrone Deals

To check out some of the deals in the industry on drones and accessories, I’d recommend this site. The website also has an education component which can guide you through the steps required to setting up your first drone and includes reviews and buying guides for the newfound drone enthusiast.

6. Quadrocopter

Quadrocopter features some of the high-end drones that are available on the market, going upwards of $7k. The site also contains DIY kits and flight electronics that you can incorporate to expand the functionality of your drone use.

“Our goal is to provide professional solutions for multi-rotor aerial video and photography. We custom build remote control platforms to suit individual client needs and offer in-house support and repair for each product we sell.”

7. HobbyTron

Along with purchasing a remote-control helicopter or other remote-control vehicals, you can also purchase your first drone from HobbyTron. You can filter your results by brand, indoor/outdoor,  style, and more.

“RC Drones are now the top selling products here at HobbyTron. This is the hottest gift you could give, with all types to choose from. RC Drones Camera, RC Drones UAV, mini RC Drones and much more”

8. RobotShop

Robot Shop has few different drone accessories, parts, and full-form units like UAV drones. I think it’s a better source to find parts if you want to build your own drone, rather than buy one of the pre-assembled drones like those mentioned above.

“Founded in 2003, RobotShop Distributon Inc. is proud to put robotics at your service. We specialize in personal and professional robot technology and offer a wide range of robotic products and services in this sector.”

9. Parrot

Finally, Parrot is one of the makers of the high quality droneslike the AR.Drone 2.0. The company also offers non-drone-related products.

“Parrot designs, develops and markets consumer products for smartphones and tablets as well as high technology solutions in Automotive and UAV business.”

Conclusion

I am going to be purchasing my first drone soon and was doing some research on places to buy one. I hope this article has been helpful. If you’d like me to consider including another e-commerce store or website, feel free to leave a comment below!
