drone noob
Hi all! I'm new to the forum and new to the quad hobby. I've had a few toy grade quads and I've had a lot of fun with them. Matter of fact, I've got 2 Swift 36C camera drones I practice with pretty regular. They have cameras but the video quality is garbage of course. What I like about them is they have the same controls as the bigger quads so they are good practice as far as controls and orientation. I now would like to purchase a bigger and better camera quad. I've watched tons of YouTube videos and stuff and I just can't decide. I thought I had it narrowed down to the Yuneec q500 or the Phantom 3 4K. What I don't like about the q500 is it is apparently really slow and range is lacking. Then I hear so many stories of DJI flyaways or I would be better off getting a DJI with lightbridge for range and reliability. The Traxxas Aton interests me because it is so fast but I would destroy it quickly because I'm a noob. Someone please send me suggestions on the best and most durable quads for beginners under $700. What are the best ones for the money, besides q500 and DJI? Give me your thoughts on those two as well though. I wish I had about a $1,500 budget, but I can't justify that since it will only be a hobby for me. I mostly like the flying part. The camera is just a bonus. Thanks
