I'm thinking about getting a drone but am warned that people frequently lose them. If that's the case, I don't want to start out with an expensive drone. I want to fly it over salt marshes and waterways, sometimes half a mile away and sometimes perhaps further, but in view. I read that drones don't fly well over water, that they can't detect their altitude over water or some such. Even so, I don't want a super cheap drone that you can't fly as much as a mile away. And I want it to take good pics. I think Mavic drones have the abilities I want, but as a novice flyer will I lose it?
If you can speak to the frequency at which novice flyers lose their drones and the problems of flying over water I'd certainly appreciate hearing your opinions on those subjects.
