Hey, can you guys share your experience with the drones, plz?

Looking for one to check my gutters and would like to get one, none expensive and with a camera from Ali, Ali offers so many with different prices, my budget under $70-$100. What I need to know? and your suggestions are welcome! Thx

How high up are your gutters? would a pole and mirror suffice?

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Selfie stick on the end of a long pole? Make sure it has a bluetooth shutter connection :-)

shielded operation should save you

Most problems are the result of previous solutions...

Suggest you look at reviews on you tube. You won't get much that is decent for that money. The tello is supposed to be okay but double your budget. The spark is good with HD video and can fly quite far, but a lot more. Much of Wellington is restricted airspace airspace due to the airport

Would a recreational drone be stable enough for looking at gutters on a 2nd story roof? I kinda thought of this as well, but didn't think they'd be stable enough unless it was absolutely still.
