I had one of the early DJI's and I think I crashed it too

much because the camera completely died on me. It was fun but I have yet to replace it. It seems like all the brands are caught up to the original few now and everyone seems to have good battery life. But i would say spend more now for features like crash avoidance. KMS wishes she had.

Guy at a hotel next to a bar I was at was flying one over the bar's outdoor deck area, provoking folks with it (like getting really close and obviously recording video). I almost nailed it with a rock but missed by about 2 inches. Said rock then hit the windshield of a car in the parking lot. A $300.00 rock will never mean the same thing to me as it does to a crackhead.

I fly it quite a bit, I think I've got around 70 flights now. I'd recommend that for someone just getting into it since you don't have to register it with the FAA, etc. Anything over 250grams is subject to regulations.
My complaints are that it's too small to fly in heavier wind, and range, but other than that it's been fun. You won't start reaching it's limits until you really start flying a lot.

Been looking hard at the Mini 2

awesome looking for the price.
Still, am thinking about taking the unmanned pilot license exam, more to learn the rules as much as get licensed.

they are light years ahead of the other drones. , the Mavic mini as Lbum mentioned is probably the best bang for the buck for what you get. I also recommend using an Ipad, iPad mini for your display. I'm not a fan of Apple products myself, but for some reason, the DJI drone works the best with them. A used Ipad mini will go for about 100 on ebay. Cheap tablets or phones with slow processors are not a good option here.

I will try my iPhone 11 Max and see how it works (it is so #### big.).
The new Mini 2 looks amazing for entry unit, and they are coming out with a new FPV model in March.
