Used compact and travel drones

Small folding drones you can carry in a jacket pocket or a day bag, from DJI's Mini 4 Pro and Autel's EVO Nano+ to Parrot's ANAFI, Yuneec's Mantis Q and small GPS drones from Holy Stone. Several are built to come in under 250 g with their standard battery, which matters in the US because a drone under that line flown purely for fun doesn't need FAA registration or Remote ID. A heavier battery or add-ons can push it over. Used, these take more knocks than big drones, so look for cracked arms, bent props and a gimbal that isn't level, and count what comes in the box.
