PSA never buy someone a drone for Christmas. Particularly if they're young. (Unless you live in a warm mild climate, in which case go for it, idgaf.)
So a drone is a terrible Christmas gift. Primarily due to the season it is gifted. As for most people this will be the first drone they've owned and likely on the cheaper side.
This combination of ineptitude of flying while learning the controls and sub par manufacturing practices with cheap components. Will inevitably result in a considerable amount of time spent on the ground in an unexpected manner.
Now, to further compound this problem is anything stronger than a gently breeze and the copious amount of moisture that is lurking everywhere.
The most obvious conclusion is a brand new drone being blown into an expected place of possibly quite considerable height, or becoming saturated with water due to the vast abundance of precipitation.
Because its Christmas, it's the dead of winter, and the weather is absolute shit.
So do everyone a favor and reserve a drone for a birthday. And if that falls during the winter, than fuck em, they don't deserve one.
A Christmas gift that doesn't make the recipient happy for more than a few minutes and leaves them with a diffuse feeling of guilt. There's use for that.
