Hi Nathan, thanks for the writup, highly appreciate you taking an HN/AMA :)

What about the "Bayang Toys 9x", do you have better suggestions today? Because GearBest's armada of similar drones make it hard to choose a great drone for an outsider [1]. I think there are three folks who are in the majority, that aren't professional hobbyists.

Those who want a) great office+outdoor drones for under '$69', b) very fast drones with cameras for under '$249' c) high-altitude aerial drones with stablized cameras for under '$349'

Can you suggest drones that fit into these categories? =)

Good question. a) Inside / light outdoor get a tinywhoop or Chinese clone and throw a <5g all in one camera + VTX on it. The E010 is an example. You'll pry want to upgrade the motors. b) fast/racing, I'd build an X frame 210mm with an Omnibus F4 or F7 and 2204 motors, DSHOT escs, FrSky rx. If that's not possible a similar prebuilt from banggood is pry almost as good. c) camera drone. I don't have a good answer for under $349 unless you build your own F450 with a gimbal. I'd highly suggest saving up for a Mavic. It's way more user friendly, portable and has a better camera, for the cost, of any diy camera rig.
