I'll offer a contrarian view.
The "cheap" drone I learned to fly on was the GPS enabled MJX Bugs 2. The current model is the Bugs 3
MJX BUGS 3 Entry-level Brushless RTF Drone - Bugs Series - MJX | Dream Of The Future I just can't understand how they can package that much technology into a product that costs a hundred bucks. the camera on it was junk but the speed, maneuverability, power and responsiveness were awesome. The DJI drones are slow and conservative by comparison and by the time I upgraded to a Phantom, I had all the skills for absolute confidence and control.
I crashed the Bugs a few times but parts were available and I was able to replace even the entire plastic airframe.
All that said, don't buy a drone without GPS and some kind of live video feed because you will be frustrated.
