I’m mostly talking about camera drones rather than FPV ones.

Every time I take mine out of the bag, people gather around with the same questions: how high does it go, how far does it go, was it expensive, have you ever crashed, etc. - as if they’ve never seen a drone before.

It seems like every single YouTuber and amateur photographer has one these days. They’re easy to fly and relatively cheap too. You’d think they’d be everywhere, but I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually seen someone flying one. Granted, I don’t leave the house much and when I do I usually head into the woods, so that probably plays a role. Still, I’m curious if this is just me or if other people have had the same experience.

    I don’t even know what a drone with a good camera would cost, or do they just mount a mirrorless. Either way, ans you say anirs ann extravagance out of my price range! My D7000 works fine thank you.

      All drone cameras are good in daylight. It’s mostly when you need a telephoto lens or better low-light performance that you need to be investings upwards of $1500 on it. Otherwise a $300 mini drone will do just fine.
