I am looking to buy my first drone
I am interested in good quality video and decent quality photos..I am happy with an 1080 full HD video it doesn't have to be 4k...
as this would be my first drone and am not sure if I would like it I prefer not to spend a lot of money
I've seen a lot of footage of the popular husband h501/ x4 drone,,BUT on all video footage the video is shaking..it only stops shaking when the drone is hovering..so I guess the camera is not very stable
I came across to a bayang toys x22 drone,,it has good reviews and also the video is very smooth and not shaking,,it also has dual gps / return home / way point route features and also comes with a 3 axis gimball and the camera is good for 8mp photos..
Is this drone worth buying as a first drone? are there any other options on similar price to look at?

Feature rich for sure, but the independant reviews I looked at, even with the 3 axis gimbal, the video wasn't very smooth and jello was evident. And compared to earlier models the flight times were quite short.
 
The aosenma cg037 is similar price..is itbetter? It has better battery flight time..also are there any other drones worth looking at with 1080 camera and being able to take photos?
 
Have you thought of balancing your props? Just one slightly off balance prop can play havoc with camera stability. A friend of a friend came to me last weekend and asked me to check out his video and it wasn't slightly wobbly it was almost unwatchable. The first thing I did was check his props and after balancing each one, his first comment was "WOW! it's so much quieter" When we tested the video the camera was behaving itself, no sign of any vibrations.

A good prop balancer is inexpensive and I recommend the magnetic variety. Don't bother going for the most expensive model, a cheap magnetic will do the job. It shouldn't cost much more than $25. I've heard flyers say all props are pre balanced, I can assure you, they're not, in fact I've thrown some props away owing to them being so badly balanced. Warning, don't file, cut or sand props. Use a good quality tape instead. I Personally use one from any local hospital. It's called "Opsite" and used on skin when it's going to be cut with a scalpel during an operation. If you know anyone working in a hospital ask them nicely if they can get you a meter of it. It'll stick like the proverbial and won't fly off during flight. A meter will last ages as you shouldn't need more than a few inches of it on the underside of the prop.

By the way, I've designed a prop balancer for quickmount "blind" props such as the DJI types. More and more quads are using them these days. The only method currently available consists of a metal rod with a left hand thread one end and a right hand thread the other. Not exactly a good way to balance. Anyway, give it a try, it only takes a few minutes per prop and if just one is off, the difference is well worth the small effort.
