When i first got my mavic, I was so careful with it, but after 5 months and 100s of flights i noticed myself getting progressively more careless around my property. Although im still accident free, a few to many close calls with my trees and I've decided i gotta get a 2nd cheap drone for when i want to play.

So i ve started flying my old syma x5c again, which is pretty basic, and it can really take a beating. But now its 65ft up in a tree and after a dramatic failed attempt with the mavic to rescue it, Im now looking for another one. Im looking for a sub $100 drone, tough, but maybe with some kinda of GPS or other kind of stabilization. Seems like all amazon drones have paid-for or fake reviews.
What kind of beater drones do you guys recommend?

Here is a video of the failed rescue. Would have working if i had better fishing wire.

Step up your game Throw down a couple hundy and get a used P2-P3

There are a few Mavic clones out there for less than 100bucks with altitude hold
