I am about to be a first time drone owner, I bought a DJI Phantom 4 and I am wondering if I should I get an inexpensive drone to learn on? If so what are your recommendations?
My kid can fly my drone. It's that easy. Way easier than the AR Parrot drone I learned on.
Remember this...
DO NOT fly facing yourself! I bet 90% of first timer accidents are because people start filming themselves at the controls, then look up and try to go left and it goes right! Right into a tree!

I practiced alot on a syma x5sw and like snowghost said it can take a crash without breaking itself or other things, the weight less than half a pound. One thing with learning on a small syma is that I can fly in atti very well and when the wind is not to high I find my videos a lot smoother when I transition my flight paths.Precisely why a toy drone is a good thing for practicing orientation. If you panic as it faces you, an X5C isn't going to break if it hits something.
That's not good advice.I wouldn't waste my time on smaller harder to fly drones personally.
