I was looking at an Inspire 2 drone and they seem really incredible, nice camera and can take amazing footage, but its really expensive well for me anyways. I also was looking at a Phantom 4 those seem like the perfect package for price! Is there any other drone that is reliable and excellent on price ? I can fly drones but don't know much about the vast Majority of them.

They are user friendly by most measures. Bit of a learning curve because of the sophistication, and I hate to see people buy a DJI quad as their first multi-copter, because you don't learn much in the way of actual flying skills on a GS quad that is that stable. If the technology gets dodgy in flight, you need to be able to fly manually.

That said, I have a Phantom 4 and I'm very happy with it.

Haha, I love flying it in Atti mode. Pretty fun that’s how I learned. I’ve seen those racing drones and wonder how they fly and handle. They seem sweet!

I'm a rookie at that part, but it's a ton of fun as well. Getting ready to buy another one. All of my FPV experience has been with small quads (64mm to 105mm) but it's a blast.

Depends on what your goal is. The P4 pro is an awesome machine that has a great camera, but the I2 has camera options that the P4 cannot compete with. The Mavic Air should also be considered too. It has a good quality camera on it also.

Wonderful thank you so much, I flew a magic air yesterday actually and I liked it a lot. I also like how small it is!

Well, I would say the Phantom 4 pro is the best but if you have a tight budget and you are a complete newbie than I think the Syma x8c is the best to learn on. Then As you move up it in drone probably the MJX Bugs 3, then the Phantom 3, then the Phantom 4 pro.

I will probably move up to the bugs 3 when my X8C breaks.

"Best" is a fallacy. Every buyer has a set of things that are important to him/her, and some order of importance. They also have a limited budget to get those important things. There is no best. The smartest buyers figure out:

  1. What do I want to do with this?
  2. What are the trade-offs I will have to live with?
  3. How much money am I willing to spend to get what I want?
  4. Where are my best sources of information to sort out all the inputs for 1-3?
After reviewing this, I'm not sure #3 shouldn't be #1.
