Good drone for beginners?

I've seen a lot of fun videos of people playing with small drones around their house or using them to play with pets. I saw a cheap tiny one at a store for $30, so I jumped on it. For the life of me, I cannot get this thing to fly straight, or even hover. It's more likely to flip itself than take off so matter how slow and smooth I start with. I can only assume this is a good old case of getting what I pay for.​I'm still interested in learning to fly one of these, but I don't want to spend too much on my initial investment. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, cheap beginner's drone that can handle all the learning mistakes I'm sure to make? via /r/drones https://ift.tt/2Zwppbn
