What model drone and camera do you have? I bought a SYMA X5C just like this with the controllers about two years ago for $69 online for everything you see. I started with a couple of small helicopters, but they were really hard to master, just indoor flying. Then I got the SYMA and it was much easier but was really nothing but a fancy toy. It had a camera and would fly about 10 minutes on a charge. There was no gyro to help stabilize the aircraft, so you had to be hands on the whole time but not near as difficult as the helicopter. I haven't touched in it in a quite awhile.
The scary part to me about buying a expensive unit is if you lose it over a swamp area or lake, or stuck in the trees. I was at the archery range on the historic side shooting arrows not long ago and someone had a expensive drone overhead. I always wanted to video the high school baseball and football fields, I thought showing them in relation to the faster car traffic on 466 would be neat.
