100 dollar range with good fly time and ez as Pie to use\fly thanks for any info and links :)
 
That is... tough. What is your goal with the drone? Just to fly something? Or are you trying to do some photography/videography?
 
... i'd be interested in a good beginners drone too. My interest lie in photography/videography preferably with a gopro attachment site. :)
 
I have no idea if you are still interested in info, but....

The $100 price range is tough. You're not going to find anything advanced for that price. Your best choice would probably be the Tellos.

It's a $100 drone with a camera and is easy fly, but it's not going to be nearly as good as a more expensive drone. The camera doesn't have any real image stabilization, no GPS, very limited range, more of an indoor use drone, the camera is only 720p and around a 10 minute flight time.

On the positive side, It's under 250 grams, so it doesn't need to registered with the FAA and it can be programmed using available software tools.

If you want to have a "real drone experience" that's more consistent with expensive drones you need to spend $400ish for something entry level. The DJI Spark, for example. It is a GPS drone with a 1080p camera, a 2 axis gimbal for image stabilization, and some collision avoidance features. Flying a spark has a nearly identical experience to flying a much more expensive drone. You even use the same app that their high end consumer drones use.

G00z13, take a look at the DJI Mavic Air. It is probably one of the best entry level 4K drones available. They start at $700. You can also take a look at the DJI Mavic Pro (The old one) you can probably get one for the $800-900 mark. It has better range and flight duration than the Air, but the air's camera is slightly better and it's a little more portable.
