One other thing I might recommend... You can build a really nice 3" brushless micro drone for about $150. The batteries for these are super cheap as well. The build difficulty is a bit high for a first build, but if you have experience building RC cars or something it is doable.
There are also some brushless micro RTF available like the Eachine Aurora 90 which isn't bad for the price.
I built a 5" quad first but was basically terrified to fly it near anything or anyone. So I got a 100mm brushed micro and practiced FPV inside for a couple months. Then I built my brushless 3" and learned how to do power loops and all without worrying too much about killing someone with a bad maneuver.
A crash has taken out the FC on my 3" this weekend, so now I will be flying my 5" for a while. I have a GoPro mount installed that is finally ready for some action.
Anyways, I don't know if any of this helps, but it is meant to illustrate that if you do stick with this hobby, it will be somewhat of a journey. Everyone on here has a different but parallel story to this one.
