Hi and welcome to my list of the best Eachine drones currently on the market.
Eachine have established themselves as one of the leading companies for budget-friendly drones. They have released some really popular drones over the past couple of years and most of them are suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced drone pilots.
All the drones on this list are foldable drones which makes them compact and great to travel with plus they all come with HD cameras. Cameras are the best features of a drone ( in my opinion ), they let you see the world from above and you can take some really cool aerial images and video footage with them.
I just want to mention something very important before I start this list and that is most of the drones on this list weigh over 250g. This is important because if you live in the UK, Canada or the USA, it means you will be required to register your drone before you can fly it. If you live in any other country, please check your local aviation rules to see if you need to register a drone or not.
Best Eachine Drones
Eachine E58
This may not be Eachines most powerful drone but it is their most popular and that is because it’s almost an identical copy of the even more popular DJI Mavic Pro. It’s a fairly small drone measuring 21*19.5*5 cm and weighing just over 360g. It comes with a 720p camera with a 2MP sensor and has a flight time of 9 minutes. It comes with some cool features like FPV, one-key return and a button that will make it do 360° turns. It’s a fun drone to fly and is perfect for beginners and is currently on sale for less than $50.

Eachine E511S
This is one of Eachines best looking drones, its small foldable drone that is lightweight and comes with a very good HD camera. The camera has a 120° FOV that will allow you to capture greater detail and it can be adjusted 45° to get better viewing angles. It comes with several smart flight modes including a follow me mode that is awesome when going for a long walk. It has a flight time of 16 minutes and has some cool LED lights on the front and on its belly that makes it useful for night-time flying.
Key Features
- 1080p Camera
- GPS Enabled
- Smart Flight Modes

- Automatic Return Home
- 16 Minute Flight Time
Eachine E520S
The Eachine E520s is one of their most advanced drones, it comes with a lot of advanced features and the best features is its 4K camera. However, just so that you are aware, the camera only takes images in 4K and records video footage in 1080p. The 4K images are really good and the video quality is amazing for a drone that costs around $100!! It has 3 intelligent flight modes and its FPV range is around 200 meters which is pretty good for a drone at its price range. The E520S comes with a flight time of 16 minutes and you have the option to purchase extra batteries with the drone so that you will not have to wait around just to fly when the battery runs low on charge. A fantastic drone that also comes with an automatic return home feature that will minimise the risks of losing your drone.
Key Features
- 1080p Camera
- 4K Images
- GPS
- Smart Flight Modes
- 300 meter range

Eachine EG16
The Eachine EG16 is another affordable 4K camera drone, this is one of Eachines best-selling drones and you can see why from its advanced features and HD camera. It’s another foldable drone and its super light weighing just 210g which means you can fly with it without having to register it ( that’s if you live in the UK, Canada or the USA). The 4K camera has a 120° FOV and it can take images in 4096*3072 resolution, however, its video recording capability is 2K, which is still pretty good quality. It also has a standard 480p camera on its belly that also serves as an optical flow sensor which will allow you to fly indoors and areas with low GPS signal. It comes with a couple of smart flight modes and a gesture control mode that allows you to take simple images and video footage through the mere gesture of your hands. Flight time is around 14 minutes which is a bit low but you do have the option to purchase it with extra batteries which I always recommend.
Key Features
- 2K Camera
- 4K Images
- Optical Flow Sensor
- Smart Flight Modes
- 200 meter range
- Automatic Return Home
- 14 Minute Flight Time
Eachine EX3
This is not one of my favourite Eachine drones although it has to be on this list because it is one of their most advanced and costs just less than $200. It’s a foldable drone but it is rather large and not suitable to travel around with plus it is one of their heaviest drones weighing just over 640g. It comes with a 2K camera and has powerful brushless motors that gives it a top speed of 40 km/h. One of the best parts of this drone is it’s remote controller, which well-designed ( unlike the drone) and has a cool OLED screen that displays relevant data about the drone. The drone has a flight time of 20 minutes which is really good for a drone at its price range and it comes with several smart flight modes that will make it easier to pilot, which is great for beginners
Key Features
- 2K Camera
- 8MP Sensor
- 1-Axis Mechanical Gimbal
- Smart Flight Modes
- 1.6KM range
- Automatic Return Home
- 20 Minute Flight Time
Eachine EX4
ThIis one of my favourite drones from Eachine and it’s a great and cheaper alternative to the DJI Mavic Air. It’s a fantastically well-designed drone that comes with a 4K camera ( for photos ) and a 3-axis gimbal that will make sure that all your images and videos are distortion-free. It has dual GPS for better flight stability and comes with two ultra-sonic sensors and an optical flow sensor that will make it easier to fly I areas with a weak GPS signal. It has an FPV range of around 1000 meters which is really good for an Eachine drone and has a flight time of 25 minutes which is on the upper end of flight times for a consumer drone. It’s a small drone and comes with a cool carry case which will make it easier to travel with.
Key Features
- 4K Camera
- 3-Axis Motorised Gimbal
- 50* Digital Zoom
- Smart Flight Modes
- 1.2KM range
- Automatic Return Home
- 25 Minute Flight Time
Eachine E56
I personally think this is one of the best drones for complete beginners, its small, has a foldable design and weighs less than 100g. It’s a very slim drone and can fit into a large pocket and is very easy to carry around. It comes with a decent camera and some cool features like altitude hold and a 6-axis gyroscope both of which will help stabilise the drone during flight. It’s a decent 720p camera with you can take some cool images and video footage and it comes with a one-handed controller that has a G-Sensor that will allow you to control the drone by moving your hand around. It has a flight time of around 7 minutes and costs less than $50!!
Key Features
- 720p Camera
- Foldable DEsign
- Super Lightweight
- Smart Flight Modes
- 100 meter range
- One-key Take-off & Landing
- 7 Minute Flight Time
Eachine E52
Final drone on this list is also the cheapest, the Eachine E52 is a toy grade drone and is perfect for beginners to test their flying skills. It’s a foldable drone that is well-designed, its slim and very compact in its folded form. If you are looking for a cheap travel drone, this is a great choice plus it weighs only 85g, so in places like the UK, Canada and the USA you will not need to register it to fly. It comes with a 2MP camera and is FPV capable, you can control it with either a remote controller or your smartphone. It comes with some cool little features like 360° flips, altitude hold and a one-key return button. As a toy drone, its flight time is very limited, you can get around 6-8 minutes on one battery charge, still for a toy drone, the Eachine E52 is totally worth it.

- 720p Camera
- Foldable Design
- 3D Flips and Rolls
- 6-Axis Gyroscope
- 100 meter range
- One-key Take-off & Landing
