Did it... sprung for the expensive stuff (after my previous use of "toys"). Next Father's Day, birthday, Christmas gifts (X2), but I'm loving it. You have TOTAL control over it. Let go of the controls and it immediately stops and hovers. Push a special button and it returns to home (since it uses 10-15 GPS satellites)... and does so within inches of its take-off location (thanks to the fact that it also photographs the ground as it lifts off). It also has sensors that prevent it from flying into something (and it rears up within 15 meters of an obstacle). The 4k video camera is fully gimbaled, and it takes high resolution stills. Nearly everything on it is fully adjustable (including umpteen camera settings). Flights up to 4 miles away and for over 20 minutes. If the battery gets too low on a long flight it knows when it must return and turns around! It also knows where it is relative to FAA flight-restricted areas. Amazing!!!
Much to learn.
