Messing around with my drone
I just bought a DJI Mavic Mini. I decided to use the Jag as a test subject, figuring out the flight modes etc. It's not as easy to fly manually as I thought, but that's what practice is all about.

Ignore the edit, took me like 10 min 
This was literally the third battery I've flown, and this is my first drone. Many of the shots are built in, where it rotates around the car. or does a Helix up. See how close I get to the trees / light pole in a few shots? That was not intentional. The through the window and fast up and over shots are me. I'm figuring out camera angles, drone distances and how the software works. I eventually plan on doing a video with the mustang, which has larger windows. I would be cool to fly in a window, pan the dash, then fly out. But it was a bit too windy to try that, and not much margin for error with the Jag

You may have influenced me to buy a drone. The wife said I should get one like a year ago, but I couldn't think of a reason TO get one.
"Mess around" seems like a perfectly good reason to me now.

Until that is you 'mess up' your interior with splattered drone all over your seats 
May be worthwhile comparing OP's age against yours (and therefore manual dexterity*) before committing to your purchase. Methinks based in the soundtrack we both have a few years on him
*I know most oldies THINK they're invisible but data says we have slower reaction times...although of course I don't as am not as FOLD as you yet

Eventually I think it would be cool to fly in, do a 360 of the interior, then fly out.
Practice!
