I have built and flown Quad copters and Tri copters for 4-5 years. They are a very useful tool if you're looking at getting some aerial pictures. I had more fun flying in tight quarters with my multi-rotors.
If i was going to recommend one for a novice it would have to be a DJI Mavic

They almost fly them selves and are very well built for the money.You'll really enjoy the ride.
hope this helps.
