I like the DJI drones myself. My first drone was a cheap one I got from amazon. I'll probably get some flack for saying this but I would recommend getting the cheapest drone you can for your first drone. Remember we all crash but we tend to crash more as new pilots so why take the chance with a more expensive drone? Just my 2 cents.
