    I know absolutely nothing about drones. Grandson turns 6 in late July so grandpa wants to buy him one. (So I can play with it before he gets it)

    Any recommendations?

    Start small with a department store one, $20-$50. Once he gets the hang of it you can upgrade. They are constantly upgrading adding features, runtime, cameras, etc. I bought one to help with my wife's social media business. ($1200) I am working on my Part 107 FAA license to make it official. I currently have the DJI Mini 4
