Hi all, Can anyone tell me where I can buy a camera drone. I am searching various website, but I could not found the best one. I need help!

Thanks.
 
The Phantoms are really high end these days. There several drones that are much smaller and designed for more casual / sports uses vs. hard core photography. The DJI Mavic and Spark are examples. There's also the Air Dog, designed for sports, has interesting follow-you modes.

This site has excellent, unbiased reviews on drones and action cameras that really hit the highs and lows. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/product-reviews/drones
 
I have a mavic pro. I bought it for the portability. The camera is definitely not as capable as the P4Pro or higher models but with a little tweaking and if you're willing to shoot full manual and then edit the footage afterwards you can get some pretty good quality images (both still and video)
 
DJI phantom. 3 is what I have and it's ease of use and features are great. Amazon is as easy to buy as the rest
 
Have owned the DJI Phantom 3 for almost 2 years, and it has been a lot of fun to play around with. Battery capacity is about 20 minutes flying time. Good customer service as well.
 
I have a DJI Mavic Pro - is is amazing.

Thank you for your suggestion.
 
My friend had the DJI Phantom 3.... Sold it, bought the DJI Spark and really likes it. Here is pic from it.

For what most people will use a drone for the DJI Spark is the best compromise for features and price.
 
We have the Yuneec Typhoon H (6 prop drone) and we like it. I will caution you to make sure that you're able to use the drone in all of the areas you want before you invest in it. For our entire trip up to Canada we were not able to use the drone either because we were anchoring or too close to an airport. In the US you cannot fly in a State park or within 5 miles of an airfield. Also - be careful using the drone around water. We watched a guy in Prideaux Haven lose his DJI into the water. Although it was floating and he retrieved it, the salt water will surely destroy his drone, now if not later. I don't think the fresh water washdown he gave it will bode well with all of the electronics either!!
