I also recommend the DJI Mavic Pro. You can get the basic outfit for $999. I've seen it at Costco, Best Buy, and Apple stores. I used it to take the attached photos on Altamont Pass and of the BART elevated structure in El Cerrito. I mainly do stills, but it does great video as well.

Pick up a Phantom 3 or 4 for around 6-800 if you don't mind a bit bulkier.

For the price, I really like my Yuneec Typhoon Q500. Prices have come down significantly, can be had with batteries, storage/transport box, handgrip for the camera to use off drone, and a controller with built in screen. Are there better drones? Sure. But not one I could find for well under $1,000

The DJI Spark is fairly new, and the whole shebang can be had for under $900. 12 megapixel camera, I'm getting great results.
