    Try Magic - probably the best consumer drones on the market

    Range and flight time tend to drive cost, and size. I have a Mavic Air that I just purchased with the intent of using it to video fishing. It's small, has good range, but the battery is only good for 21 minutes. Larger drones are going to require larger areas for taking off and landing, and their more difficult to maneuver around things like antennas, outriggers, green sticks, ect. They also cost more.
