Been flying a DJI Mavic Pro for a few years now. Hands down one of the best and user friendly dones out there. I have taken it on long range tests exceeding 4 miles out with no loss of video or connection. The technology in these new units is crazy.

Quoted from cottonm4:

Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K Drone
One of these is for sale in my town. Complete kit. Less than $400.00. To my untrained eye, $400.00 seems like an OK price.
I have never flown a drone before. My interest would be for the photography.
Should I just go get a cheapie? Or maybe step up a little bit?
I figure if I don't like I can sell it, perhaps.

Not really a good buy in my opinion. That drone is 399 New. Plus these models are very poor for video quality. Yes it is 4k but buying a drone is about how Stable it can fly to shoot those images and video. I have flown my DJI Mavic Pro in heavy winds and it corrects perfectly as if it was sitting still. Most people have bad first impressions of drones when they get the lessor models. Having Never flown a drone ever I had the Mavic pro in the air in 15 minutes (after a charge) safely and confidently flying routes. Good luck with your search, they really are incredible with what they can do now days.
