Drones in the Philippines: prices by type and use

Updated 5 November 2026

In the Philippines, a basic mini drone costs from about ₱1,600, a folding 4K drone with GPS and obstacle sensors about ₱3,700 to ₱14,400, and a branded camera drone around ₱45,000. Prices depend on the camera, flight time and what is included. For offers that match your budget and use, post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Listings range from single drones to combos with extra batteries and cases, so compare what is included before you compare totals.

Registration and flying rules

Search results cite the rules of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP): drones over 250 grams must be registered, and registration is valid for three years and carries a fee. Other results say you must not fly within 30 metres of a person not involved in the flight, or higher than 400 feet (122 metres). One result adds that commercial flying needs more certificates. Check the current CAAP rules before you buy.

Rain and the wet season

The climate is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season. November is still part of the wet season, when rain can rule out flying on some days. Ask whether the drone is water-resistant, plan flights for dry spells, and let batteries cool between flights.

What to check in the specifications

Compare flight time in minutes (one DJI listing gives 38 minutes), camera resolution (4K or 1080p), whether a remote and spare batteries are included, and the weight. A drone above 250 grams needs registration, so the weight changes the paperwork as well as the price. Ask the seller to confirm these in writing.

How it is bought here

Prices are per drone or per combo. Delivery is possible to Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu City and Davao City, so name your city in the request and ask whether delivery is included.
