What’s the most important feature you need in a beginner drone? 🚀👇

[ChillEpps]

I stay a big fan of the DJI Mini 4 Pro, but there's some deep love I have for HoverAir. Don't sleep on them, it's got some great hardware like the X1 Pro!

Excellent review, thank you. I have the mini 1 but looking at the mini3 with RC controller in order to not have to deal with my phone.

Need a drone to survey buildings and establish height differences. Do any/all drones give altitude or height AGL data output as standard? Thanks

You’re not even going to mention all the different ways to fly the DJI Neo? The Neo is great because it offers so many options—including FPV—which is actually the main reason I bought it. For example, when you so called “grow out of the Neo, ” you can pick up the FPV controller and the more affordable goggles to get into FPV flying, even eventually trying out manual mode. For one of the cheapest beginner drones out there, the DJI Neo gives you tons of room to grow, making it one of the best values in the long run.

Okay, so ones not available, one is $1400, two are $500 and one is $200. This is not a comparison, its advertising and manipulative.
