Entry Lever Drone - Video/still capabilities

Post by photohause »

Hi all. I am looking for an entry level drone for simple fly overs and a 360, maybe a few stills. I would like a drone with camera, easy to use and understand, good instructions in English is a plus. Auto Return Home feature. Low altitude, short fly time is okay - 10-15 minutes.

I see many use you cell phone to capture video. How do you edit this/software?

Any recommendations for $100-$150 first time beginner investment?

Thanks in advance.

I saw this:Holy Stone HS165 GPS FPV Drones with 2K HD Camera for Adults, Foldable Drone for Beginners with Auto Return Home, Follow Me, Circle Fly, Tap Fly, Includes 2 Batteries and Carrying Case

that's pretty cheap, most of the one i looked at for less than $200
got pretty poor reviews.

i plan on buying the new DJI Mini 2 as a first drone. i'm just waiting
to see if anyone has it on sale for Black Friday.

since the Mini 2 was released, lots of people are selling their Mini 1
cheap so they can upgrade.

good luck

Thanks all for your time to reply...I'm going to pull the plug on this idea, I'm not interested in investing $$$ into a new phone too.

while not cheap, a drone can be therapeutic fun too :)
