I tried it in the house and it wouldn't hover/fly straight, I may need to tweak something


the main thing for that one is people say it's cheap enough for you to get used to the controls, recording, (and it has a camera) but not so expensive you're worried about breaking or losing it

i found that going extremely low end for certain purchases often wasnt worth the time/money spent


i think im looking in the ~$100 range til i decide if its boring, or i wanna upgrade to the $800, 1hr airtime, able to lift small objects and housecats version

I've seen $1,000 drones get taken away in a wind gust

That's just what I bought, if you want to spend more I think you can get more, but whatever it is you should be willing to lose it. The number of things that can happen -- sudden power loss, control failure, weather, inexperience at the controls, flying by a cell tower and instantly losing signal -- is so long that you should assume your first one is going to be trashed at some point.
