I was under the impression that anyone into drones were using 3D printers and building their own.

I mean, like, I guess I'm just a nerd, but where is the fun in buying a premade expensive quad copter?

There are broad applications for drones, not just hobbyists. In fact I think hobbyists are probably the minorty of buyers these days.

Yes also due to a huge increase in regulation. Which makes sense with the capability of some of these things, don't get me wrong. But it's no longer a fun hobby.

And the one I had was more of a toy than a real one with kilometers of range
