When I was looking at RC planes, the one that could hold a quality
camera+fly for for a relatively long time is the skywalker X8(~200$ USD) +
batteries, controllers and motors(~200-250) which comes out to about 450$
US.

Where as a kite and a picavet costs about 50$ for a good kite and some
scrap wood.

Only advantage is a drone can be flown over houses, but kite doesnt have
any "no fly zones" except maybe power lines
