I'm using a DJI Mini 2. One caution is that it drifts enough to get into
trouble for close up tower inspections. I don't recommend trying to
approach closer than 3 to 4 feet from a tower and even that can be
dicey. Mine drifted and hit a guy wire once. I lost the tips of the
front propellers, but was able to safely land. This model only has
forward facing collision avoidance.

What are people using for their drones?  The DJI has a mini drone for
around $300.00  the Maviks are crazy expensive now.  So many choice but
I know many of them are not very good.

I am mostly looking for something to do tower inspections and have some
fun flying it about.
