Must got a job ya think.?

I was thinking during his initial post that if this thread went on for much longer, he’d eventually turn 18. It did...and he probably did, too.

Honestly, best not. What's your plan if you crash the drone after having it for a week? You'll still be on the hook for the payments, but you won't have anything. Why not make the installment payments to yourself for a few months, and buy for cash?

There's a lot of good advice here, and patience is a virtue. We all know what its like to really want something you can taste it, and from my personal experience - buying it on installments or credit makes it taste - not as good honestly. A lot of us are talking from experience, and if we had a chance we would tell our younger selves the exact same thing: save your money, hustle a bit harder, and see where the best deal is.

This is a perfect opportunity to set a habit that can serve you well into the future. There are adults 2-3x your age that haven't figured that out yet. It was smart of you to ask, which tells me maybe a part of you recognizes it too. I'll promise you you'll appreciate it more when you've done it the financially responsible way.
