A sub-250g model with obstacle avoidance and a good camera is an approachable place to start.
- Choose a sub-250g model if you want to avoid recreational FAA registration.
- Prioritize obstacle avoidance, stable controls, and a useful camera.
- Buy a fly-more combo with extra batteries and propellers if the value is right.
- Practice basic takeoffs, landings, and turns in an open field before taking photos.
Good to know: Lightweight does not mean rule-free: always check local airspace and keep the drone in sight.
