Drones are very fun! If you're gong to get into the hobby, I recommend a mid grade drone from a company like DJI. Used models can be found for decent prices. If you buy a new one, get the insurance. Its one of the few things I buy that extra insurance for. DJI will replace your drone for what I think is cost. A little more, but much less then retail, if you loose it completely and can't send in the broken one. The insurance is for new drones, but worth it.
The mid grade models are often good all around models vs being specialized for racing, photography, or load bearing/delivery.
The insurance sounds like it's well worth it @oceanfit! My son has a drone that will return to where it was launched, very awesome I've seen some beautiful aerial photography!😀
Mine will return home like that as well. Its a great plus if your drone ever goes out of range it will return home and if the batteries get lower than I expected it will return home at 30% battery life, I think it's that %.
Very nice....the first time my sons returned everyone backed away, it returns FAST Lol!🤣
