Get on some dating websites and look for our favorite pseudo SJW. You can pm her and find all you need regarding them.

I know when people talk about drones, they always mention how much it costs. They all do the same things.

This. If you want something reliably autonomous and with decent video quality you're going to have to up the ante.

$200 budget won't get you anything better than a child's toy as far as drones go.

DJI makes some good drones.

Does your step dad have a GoPro camera? GoPro makes a drone called Karma that the regular GoPro camera attaches to. If you already have the camera, you can get the drone by itself for about $500. Or you can buy the drone packaged with a GoPro camera for about $750-800.

no go pro
they'll probably just use it to take pictures of their property, like of their pond and what not; what about drones that come with a camera, but not a go pro?

All I know is my oldest son wanted one for Christmas. Nothing else but a drone. His brother got a hover board. The drone was used about a week and they still ride the hover board. It was cool with the phone attachment for video though.

I'd suggest a cheapo to learn basics of flight on comes w/ junk 2MP cam for <100.
Then a DJI product if he's into it b/c you gotta setup user acct, pay faa $5 to register and learn proper pilot in command procedures. Unless you want your $400 dji spark gift IN the pond.

Go Pro Karma is no go.

I know two people who are in drone development in private businesses. They are always really excited and I just don’t give a shite.
