Drones are getting more and more popular these days with the Mavic Pro from DJI and the Karma from GoPro taking a lot of attention lately. However, these are enthusiast level drones and are on the expensive end of the toy category. For those who want to start small and affordable, the Propel Atom 1.0 micro-drone can be a good start. The Propel Atom 1.0 has been around in other regions for quite some time and only recently brought into the Philippines at a much more affordable price. Because of its size, the Atom 1.0 is easy to carry around, can be flown indoors or outdoor and can be charged via a powerbank for just 30 minutes.
