Best drone for newbie?

Getting Started Topics Choosing Your Drone

My mom wants to get my stepdad a drone for Christmas.

He’s never flown a drone before.

The budget isn’t exactly unlimited, but it should be plenty high enough for most options.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

The DJI Mavic Mini is another excellent choice, offering more advanced features within a reasonable budget.

Both are great for first-time flyers and come from a reputable brand.
