Wondering if anyone has experience with streaming video quadcopters/drones?
I've been told more than once to start with a "beginner drone" and not get anything too advanced until I learn to fly it. But the bottom-end toys I find are impossible to get to hover - I'm thinking that might be a bit TOO simple? The more advanced ones all seem to have much better auto-hover capabilities and finer adjustment.
My ultimate intent is to get something like a DJI Mavic. I'm looking for something I can send out over my property and down my road with a live video feed, so I need something with a bit of range.
But given that the Mavic is $1200+, I'm not sure I want to jump right into that. What would be a good place to start, with something that can be reasonably well controlled but isn't too advanced?
