But as drone usage and interest grows, there's bound to be upstarts trying to take a piece of the pie. I tested the company's foldable, highly portable selfie drone last year, and now it's back with an even more portable drone named the Fairy. The Fairy looks similar to DJI's popular Spark, but unlike the latter's roughly $300 price tag, Simtoo's Fairy Drone is currently selling on Kickstarter for $99, with a later retail bump up to around $150. The entire drone weighs just 140g (0.3 lbs), and when folded has dimensions of 5' X 2.5' X 1.2'. But the Fairy is smaller and much cheaper -- so for those newbie drone beginners who don't want to spend too much, Chinese start-ups have you covered.
