Hi, I've been recently looking into buying a drone for myself and I was wondering if there was a decent budget option to "get my feet wet".  I'm looking to save up around $200-$400 and want something with decent video quality capture (doesn't need to be 4k) and can maintain decent alt.  Any ideas?

"Hyper Demon" Build: 

Case: NZXT H440 Hyper Beast.  CPU: AMD R9 3900x (cooled by a KrakeX62).  GPU: AMD XFX RX 6900XT Merc 319 Black.  RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 32GB ram @3600mhz.  Mobo: Asus Crosshair VI hero. PSU: Corsair RM850x.  Boot drive: Samsung 960 evo 500gb nvme ssd.  Game storage: Samsung 860 evo 1TB SATA SSD.  Bulk storage: WD Black 2TB.

I mean if you want anything better than a toy, there's the Phantom 3 standard, but that's $500. Sometimes I think it's around $400 on sales sometimes? 
 

Also feel free to post on the Multirotor Megathread if you have more questions or want to talk anything multirotor.
