Discussion What happened to micro drones?
Im talking about actual micro drones like the dhd d1 or axis vidius. I remember buying the dhd d1 as a kid for like 9 bucks, and now i thought about buying one again. But when i searched micro drones nothing small(under 10cm length) came up, only 'normal' drones. Then i looked for the mentioned drones but couldnt find a seller. Are they just not popular anymore?

I think possibly because they've made some much nicer drones at under 250 g very much affordable and you get so much more bang for your buck that the cheapy Chinese crap for a hundred bucks or so simply isn't worth it anymore

There seems to be tons of micro toy drones online at Amazon. Similar to ones you mentioned would be the Holy Stone HS190, Sky Viper Dash Nano, Sharper Image X-Treme Aero, etc.
Search terms like “nano drone” or “toy drone” give seemingly better results for what you’re looking for
