Is a $200 drone good enough for photography?

The DJI Mini 2 SE produces surprisingly good aerial photos at 12MP and 2.7K video. For social media and casual photography, it's excellent. For professional real estate or cinematography, budget $500+ for a DJI Air model.

Do cheap drones break easily?

Budget drones ($50-100) are fragile. Mid-range drones ($200-300) like DJI and Ruko are much more durable. Always use prop guards when learning. Spare propellers are cheap ($5-10) and easy to replace.
