What's a drone that has good distance, height, stability, and is quiet; I don't see much point in getting a drone unless I can pretend to be a secret agent

What do you mean distance and height? Range and flight ceiling? As far as stability goes out really depends, build one yourself and tune it well.
>quiet
No. It'll sound like a swarm of angry bees if it's of any size, or will be a high-pitched whine if the thing's tiny.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, I suggest you go do some research and come back.
helicopter and quiet don't go together. but most quality drones can go high enough to where you don't really hear them.
also realtalk is there a single tech reviewer that doesn't seem like a giant shill? im trying to find objective reviews for the DJI mavic and every single one sounds like IGN-tier 10/10posting

doesn't matter if you're following FAA guidelines.

The one you posted seems pretty ideal.

What do people mean when they say "build it yourself"? Hobby-grade motors that offer the right characteristics are pretty rare.
Do you mean use those prebuilt drone bases?

i think its old-school hobbyiests getting mad that prebuilt quadcopters are better bang for you buck than hand-made ones.
Personally I'd love to own a gas powered fixed-wing drone.
Some of them have ranges of 100km and more.
Too bad it's virtually impossible for a hobbyist to use them in Europe.
Not sure if one would ever get caught though.

A guy at my work has a lot of drones and he talks about how much he really likes his dji mavic. FWIW

Not going to happen.
For all of this, in addition to insane flight times, you'd have to go with a fixed wing glider.

I am mad that unenlightened youths are smashing thier dji mac books into everything. Ruining it for those who have it as a hobby.
