[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 113897, member: 18605"] I have a Syma that I use to chase squirrels off the bird feeder, but I find it very hard to fly accurately. I also have a DJI Spark and it's lightyears better and easier to fly well, but far more expensive. It is very stable in all flight regimes and has the ability to return if the signal is lost or the battery is getting low. Frankly, while I used to peruse YouTube daily looking for drones with cameras, after I got the Spark I stopped shopping. That being said, I suggest whatever drone you're interested in should have GPS and RTH (return to home) at a minimum. Flying my Syma is like trying to balance a B.B. on a basketball and it's totally hands-on required whereas the Spark can be put into position and will stay there. This may seem overly simplified, but it's accurate. So many drone manufacturers have come and gone, without keeping up with it I don't know what to suggest. You might look at some of the drone reviewers on YouTube like Captain Drone and Quadcopter 101. They give good assessments of a wide variety of drones and usually stay abreast of the industry. Unless things have changed dramatically, under $50 isn't going to give you much more than you've already got. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
