I bought a $10 drone on Amazon once. It didn't have a camera (it was $10), and it was impossible to fly (also because it was $10). But it was still a lot of fun while it lasted. I only flew it in my bedroom at first, because I didn't want to risk crashing it into the TV in my living room, which seemed likely to happen.

Eventually, I took the drone on vacation, and a dog tried to eat it. I then flew the drone away from the dog, but the dog chased it into the street as a car was coming. So I crashed the drone and everything was fine with the dog and the car, but the drone was gone. It was a good time, I guess. I understand that if you spend more on drones, this kind of thing doesn't happen.
