Hi everyone, I’m going hiking between Chamonix and Zermatt and want to take drone pictures and videos. My budget is under 200€. Can anyone suggest a drone that fits this? I need one with good battery life since I can’t recharge every day. I’m fine without FPV as long as it’s easy to fly. I don’t need 4K, but 1080p is a must. It should also be lightweight if possible. Are there any options like this, maybe even second-hand? (Sorry if my English isn’t perfect!)

You might want to mention specific models or features so others can give better advice.
Drone batteries usually last around 20 minutes for most models. The longest I’ve ever managed is 35 minutes with a large DJI M300, but that’s rare.
For cheaper options, the DJI Mini and Neo are your best bet. The Neo fits your budget if you get it new, but it only comes with one battery and no controller (you’d have to use your phone).
You might find a used Mini 2 within your budget if you’re lucky.
Be careful about drone rules in Switzerland. Did you know you need a license to fly? You also have to register your drone and follow strict rules, like not flying over people or just anywhere you want. It sounds like you might not be aware of these things.

Oh no, I didn’t know any of that. Thanks for letting me know!
