So, you’ve finally decided to take to the skies, and the moment you start searching for affordable options, which often fall in the categories of drones under 20,000 rupees, reality hits: specs everywhere, acronyms you’ve never heard of, price jumps that make your eyebrows disappear, and enough technical jargon to launch a spaceship.
Deep breath.
You’ve landed in the right place.
At NOT Drones, we believe that getting your first flyer shouldn’t feel like decoding a rocket manual. A good drone, especially a beginner-friendly one, should feel like a partner in adventure. It should make flying easy, shooting smoother, and the whole experience safe and fun.
If you’re looking for a remote control drone that fits your budget but still gives you dependable quality and strong features, this guide is for you. Today, we’re breaking down what really matters in a drone and spotlighting two excellent options from NOT Drones: the NABHYAN 2.0 Screen Pack and the NOT ORO, both of which pack serious value while keeping things beginner-friendly.
What Makes a Drone Truly Worth It?
Before you click the “Buy Now” button, let’s talk benchmarks. Whether your budget is ₹10,000 or ₹30,000, the fundamentals of a good drone never change.
Here's what you should pay attention to:
1. Stability in Flight
This is the deal-breaker. Stability means smoother shots, safer flying, and a drone that doesn’t panic at the first sign of a breeze. Features like wind resistance, hover accuracy, optical sensors, or GPS support make a difference, especially when you’re just learning.
2. Camera Quality
You don’t need 8K cinema, but you do need clarity. A decent camera determines whether your shots look clear or like they’ve been taken through a fog. High resolution, good angle coverage, and stabilisation features all add to the final outcome.
3. Ease of Control
A good remote control drone doesn’t fight you. Intuitive controllers, easy pairing, simple flight modes, and clear live feed transmission allow beginners to get the hang of flying without the stress.
4. Flight Time
Let’s be honest: nobody wants to spend 2 hours charging for a 5-minute flight. The sweet spot is anything that gives you steady 10–20 minutes of air time per battery.
5. Beginner-Friendly Features
Return-to-home, gesture control, and auto-hover are lifesavers. They prevent crashes and help you enjoy your flight rather than praying your drone doesn’t disappear behind a tree.
6. Warranty & Support
One crash shouldn’t mean “goodbye drone forever.” Reliable local support means you’re never flying alone.
When a drone ticks most of these boxes, it stops being just a gadget and becomes your little sky buddy.
NABHYAN 2.0 Screen Pack – The Ideal Beginner’s All-Rounder
If you’re stepping into drones for the first time and want something under ₹20,000 that is balanced, intuitive, and worry-free, the NABHYAN 2.0 Screen Pack is an excellent pick.
Here’s why it shines:
Crystal-Clear Everyday Footage
It comes with a 1080P HD front camera, good for landscapes, family clips, travel vlogs, or your first experiment. You can see what your drone sees live, through real-time transmission on your phone.
Stability That Helps You Learn
Thanks to its optical flow sensor, NABHYAN stays steady even in indoor or low-GPS areas. This makes it perfect for beginners who don’t want to rely solely on satellite signals.
Smooth, Quiet, Reliable
Its brushless motors ensure a smoother flight and longer motor life. Plus, they’re quieter than typical brushed motors, which is a relief for both you and your neighbours.
Portable, Lightweight, and Fun
At roughly 160g, it’s so lightweight you’ll actually carry it around instead of leaving it at home. Ideal for trips!
Beginner-Friendly Flight Time
With about 12–15 minutes of flight time per battery, you get enough airtime to practise, experiment, and enjoy without needing to recharge constantly.
NOT ORO – A Feature-Packed Step Up (Still Budget-Friendly)
If you want pro-level touches and extended features but still want to stay within the budget-friendly segment, the NOT ORO gives you that extra boost of performance.
Here’s what makes it a star:
Sharper Shots, Smoother Videos
With a 2K Ultra HD camera supported by a 2-axis gimbal, ORO gives you far clearer and more stable footage.
Smart Navigation = Stress-Free Flying
ORO is packed with safety features like:
-
GPS return-to-home
-
Low-battery auto-return
-
Lost-remote return
Perfect for first-timers who fear losing their drone to the horizon.
Travel-Friendly and Light
At 249 grams, it folds down into a compact shape ideal for travel.
Longer, Smoother Flights
A single battery gives you about 20–25 minutes of airtime. And if you ever upgrade to travel combos, you’ll multiply your flying sessions significantly.
Extended Range
-
Up to 1000m control range
-
Around 200m of live WiFi streaming
That’s plenty for creative shots and spacious outdoor flying.
Advanced Fun Features
GPS follow-me, gesture control, waypoint flights, these give you creative freedom even if you’re still new to drones.
Why These Two Stand Out in the Budget Segment
Most affordable drones compromise on camera, motor strength, or battery life. NABHYAN and ORO avoid those traps. They offer:
-
Real value where it matters
-
Strong enough build to survive the beginner learning curve
-
Support and warranty you can rely on
-
Advanced features (especially ORO) without a premium price tag
Even if your budget is ₹20,000, you’re still getting features that feel higher-end.
Final Take: Which Budget Drone Should You Pick?
If you’re new to flying and want something stable, easy, and friendly on the wallet, the NABHYAN 2.0 Screen Pack is your best pick.
If you want sharper video, more flight time, wider range, and advanced modes, while still staying in the affordable segment, the NOT ORO gives you that elevated experience.
Either way, both prove that a drone under ₹20,000 doesn’t have to feel underpowered. With the right controls, you can unlock creative freedom, explore your surroundings from above, and have a whole lot of fun without stretching your budget.
