I received a couple beginner drones for Christmas, now I'm thinking I might want to step up into something more stout. Considering the DJI Spark, as it has gotten some great reviews. It's not the newest on the market, but I'm not looking to break the bank either. Shoots 1080, I see no need to start with 4K. Hell, I'll probably end up crashing is anyway.

One flew over our pool this summer so I gave it the finger and such and it never came back.
Maybe because there were no bathing beauties to be had, either.

I have no intention of flying over peoples houses, although it does happen on occasion. Again, shoot it down!

I assisted when I hired a pro-drone camera dude for a video I made at work in the summer. Certainly are awesome pieces of kit. Video was the nuts too!

Wish I could help but based on my experience in flying my toy helicopter in the house, it would be fruitless. Don't fly it that much given the damn thing wreaks havoc on popcorn ceilings! Can you say plaster blizzards?

Check out AndyRC YouTube channel. He reviews loads of quadcopters from Banggood and Gearbest.

We currently have a DJI 3 Standard and a Mavic Pro. DJI seems to have a good rep, what kinds of things do you use yours for?

They are my son's (13yr) that he worked 2 summers to get the funds to buy. So he uses them for some soccer action videos and also nature type stuff. We are in the deep freeze so the mavic, being a new purchase, hasn't gotten much flight time.
DJIs seem to be pretty good. Some frustration things with firmware updates and user interface. But I think most manufacturers are facing that.

This is how I act when I see drones.
