Most drones do have this kind of functionality. Even the 3DR Iris+ (which isn't supported anymore) has these features and you can still find it for $200-$300 less than the GoPro. The only problem is since its not supported, parts are harder to come by. The 3DR Solo is the replacement and they're supporting this model exclusively. I believe all the Yuneec drones have all these features and well under the GoPro price point. For a few more dollars, you can get a lot more drone with they Yuneec Typhoon H: https://yuneec.com/en_US/products/typhoon/h/overview.html https://yuneec.com/en_US/products/typhoon/h/overview.html Just a personal preference, but I've heard DJI has the worst customer service. When I was in the market for my first drone (2014), I was shocked at all the forum posts about their customer service: http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/horrible-dji-customer-service.19877/ http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/horrible-dji-customer-s... https://www.reddit.com/r/djiphantom/comments/3b2jvp/honestly_how_bad_is_the_dji_customer_service/ https://www.reddit.com/r/djiphantom/comments/3b2jvp/honestly... Maybe they've gotten better, but I stuck with 3DR and have had good experiences with them. They respond to emails really fast, if I call, they're patient with me and have helped me out a few jams where my drone was acting up. I didn't have to ship it to them, they walked me through the troubleshooting until it was fixed. Full disclosure: I own two 3DR drones and a Yuneec Q500. Both companies are US based companies with US based customer support.
