One thing worth mentioning (did not study all 8 pages) is that drones are not that easy to fly.
Suppose those $1000 + drones are self-flying, but I bought a cheaper one and after several sessions inside the house, I took it to the garden only to end on the roof.
In my teenage years I was flying cable-controlled plane models and was good at it, so not that I am pilot with no skills, but with drone you are basically dealing with 4 dimensions, so takes lot of practice to train the proper reactions, while 7 minutes on battery charge is not giving you lot of flying time even with 2 batteries.
To top it - my cheap drone full forward speed can be lower than the winds I have around the house, so when pushing it at full forward, the drone was moving back onto my backyard.
I bought the drone for taking picture on our mountain climbing trips, but did not get brave enough to take it with us yet.
