For a starter drone even $100 is a lot. Two things that you don&#x27;t realize in demos are:<p>1. Drones are notoriously hard to fly.<p>2. The battery life is a true buzzkill. Even Parrot lasts 15 minutes or so.<p>What you want to do is buy a cheap 2-pack for $25-30 each. See if  your girls and you still like them. You&#x27;d probably break them while learning. But that won&#x27;t hurt you cause they are cheap. You&#x27;d also get a good idea of kinds of projects to do with them.<p>Then get a drone that fits, as you&#x27;d have a better understanding of what matters to you. I settled on a $80 drone that&#x27;s not programmable. That&#x27;s cause I stick a BLE arduino on it. Turns out that&#x27;s all I needed. But get something cheap and break it while learning how to fly.
