Hello everyone, first post on the forums. I am trying to find the least expensive DJI drone that will meet my needs. I currently own a Holy Stone 720E. This is a feature full drone for the price point (it was about $250) when it was purchased (it is now much more expensive). But, alas, the drone does not support all of the features I need. Also, the Holy Stone 720E software is a bit less refined. Required Features: 1. 20+ minute flight time. 2. Ability to fly to a user defined GPS coordinate (this is the feature I am having a hard time finding). 3. GPS accuracy within 1 meter. My guess is that most drones meet the criteria, but seeing as how I have only owned/used 1 drone before, I realize that I shouldn't assume this to be true. My own experiements with GPS have shown that many devices claim to have very accurate GPSs, but in reality those claims are often incorrect. 4. Less than $1000 (new or used) 5. No apple devices required (I have a windows laptop and multiple android devices). Desired Features: 1. A way to display the current GPS accuracy. 2. Less than $500 (new or used). 3. SDK Support (I have some programming skills and I also would like the ability to use 3rd applications in the future) 4. No fancy, time consuming, or expensive FAA registration requirements (I have already registered the HS720E under the recreational exception) Unacceptable Solutions: 1. I have seen youtube videos in which people take a photo using a Mavic Mini 2 drone and then offline pull the GPS data out of the photo's metadata. This would be too tedious for me. 2. 3rd party apps that are poorly implemented and will put my drone in danger. I am not against using a high quality 3rd party solution, but that solution would need to be well vetted and highly rated for its robustness. The task I need the drone to be able to complete: I own a heavily wooded property with a rectangular property line. Currently, only 2 sides of the property are fenced. Handheld GPS devices under the tree canopy are not working (those devices have very poor accuracy, greater than 3 meters, which contradicts the accuracy their software claims). I am 99% confident I can use a drone to mark my property line. Since the drone is above the tree canopy, its GPS accuracy should be quite good. The more accurate I can mark out my property line, the less trees and brush I need to clear to run my fence. The HS720E does not have a way to enter a GPS waypoint, nor does it seem to have a way to see the drone's current GPS coordinate.

Hello there farmerflyer. Good day and thank you for sharing these information with us. I will post a DJI link where in you can compare all the specifications of all DJI consumer drones. I hope this can help you as well. Thank you.

Well Farmerflyer,
Read the posts here.
Connectivity is a MAJOR problem.
According to Dji, you will need at least the amount of money spent on drone to sink into the device to fly it.
Just a basic fly it app, give it up, at the moment, Dji is useless.
If your device is not on the acceptable list of devices, you can kiss that dream goodbye.
Read all the posts in here.
Very few are happy, drones are quality, but the damn fly app sucks.
Read, Read, Read ...........
Also, notice, Dji favors the orchard product.

Save your self grief, the drone quality is good, but to fly it, with their app,
RONTFLMYASSOFF.
IT SUCKS!
I have a mini2 $700 paper weight I'll sell ya for $200. I don't own an acceptable Dji device to get it off the ground.

Dji Stephen, you failed to mention the device limitation list to get it off the ground, as well as the advertisement on the box!
wamubugme, spell it out in laymans terms!
The required Dji fly sucks!

Dji, I have just started to pee in your cornflakes, fix this problem.
I'll bet you will run me off from telling the chineese truth.
