Model rocketry is a good middle-of-nowhere hobby if you like crafty things - inexpensive, and you can get pretty far down the rabbit hole if you want.

you can often find, canon T5, T6, T7, SL2 or SL3 for around 200-300$ with a kit lens and start there.

In entry model price range, do you know camera model that's particularly good for video and preferably light weight?.

 

 

Just curious if I want to jump into YT and whatnot.

thats going to be a sony A6x000 or a Panasonic body (I won't give a specific model as I don't understand how they all relate) . Fuji is going to be a bit more used but similar priced new
certainty if your just starting used is a good place to start

For anyone wondering.

 

I pull trigger and bought Yoyo with this money. $30 for competition yoyo (Magic Yoyo Y03) w/ spare strings included.

 

A bit sad, hobby shop is struggling business in my country.

I finally saved $200 disposable mone and I would like to spend it on new hobby, but living middle of nowhere making things complicated.

 

If anyone have hobby suggestion just to pass weekend would be greatly appreciated.

 

FYI hobbies I used to have:

1. PCMR : My current PC is good enough for occasional gaming, also I can't play AAA games because there is no broadband internet where I live.

2. Motorcycle : Stopped due to lower back injury.

3. Mech Keyboard : Already had few mechs laying around.

4. Audiophile and Anime : Have hard time liking current releases, I kept coming back to my old library from 2000s.

5. Basketball : No other sport players around so I play alone.

 

People in my area usually do fishing, but I can't endure the masquito and night long waiting.

 

investing, not kidding it's a fun game
