Asked a question about this in an earlier thread, narrowed down to 2 choices. Getting a drone for my dad as a Christmas present, he'll probably mostly use it at our hunting camp to survey and whatever else he comes up with. Looking at 2 options, can't decide which would be more fitting

Option 1: https://www.amazon.com/Altair-Beginner-Quadcopter-Altitude-Indoors/dp/B075RFWDN7?SubscriptionId=AKIAINRYHGI6LFEYQVSQ&tag=dronesupremac-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B075RFWDN7
Pros:
>Cheapish ($150)
>Looks relatively fool-proof
>FPV
Cons:
>No GPS, so no GPS flight or return home when lost/battery low
>Pretty much 100% positive it's going to need rescue operations mounted after dad ignores warning/isn't careful and gets the thing out of range

Option 2: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1354288-REG/dji_spark_quadcopter_with_waterproof.html
Pros:
>Looks even more foolproof
>GPS, return home, etc
>FPV
Cons:
>Price ($350)
>Props aren't as protected, worries me at first glance
