Not sure section of the forum would be best to post this.

I’m looking for suggestions or recommendations for an entry level drone or quadcopter capable of shooting 1080p video with some kind of stabilisation.

This is just for fun and personal use such as at club level grass roots motorsport or just around the farm.

I’m not wanting to mount an SLR or anything on it. I don’t even mind something built in. Just something that can give comparable video quality to a half decent action cam. And without a shaky wobbling image.

If it has the ability to self hover or maintain altitude then that would be handy.

I’ve flown mini quads, FP helicopters and 4 ch fixed wing aircraft RC’s.

Thanks. I watched some DJI Spark footage last night in YT and was impressed.

Sadly as good as they are. They probably are just a little too expensive to buy as a toy for me.

I have seen the Parrot Bebop 2 which looks more to my budget.

I was thinking maybe £300. But I don’t want to spend that and be unhappy with the results. Under £500 for preference.
