That sounds like a Youtube or clickbait article title

I got into drones pretty seriously after I retired, and had 7 of them at one time over the past year.
Down to just one now, and the reason for that is I learned the hard way that you do get what you pay for most of the time, but some are just not worth the asking price.

Started out cheap, went more and more expensive, and found only one that I totally enjoyed flying, so sold the rest.

Presently I only have a DJI Mavic Air (original).
It has obstacle avoidance, 4K video, and is smooth as silk to fly.
The only drawback to this one is it only has a maximum flight time of 15 minutes per battery, but to be honest, that is long enough for what I do.

If you are considering a drone, keep in mind that the FAA is requiring all drone owners to take a test just to fly.
Literally anyone.
I did take it and passed easily, but they are getting more and more restrictive on where you can fly.
Fortunately where I live it is pretty wide open as far as flying, but remember the rules and you are good to go.

Heheh, think I may take it up today and see what is going on in my little part of the world and post it on my youtube channel.

Speaking of drones..

What happens when a Florida alligator eats one?
