Ever watch drone racing? They're not using GPS. Here's an MIT video of a drone flying using computer vision through trees at 30mph. They've improved this quite a bit since the video was made. This stuff is getting pretty easy to do. https://www.csail.mit.edu/news/self-flying-drone-dips-darts-...

I have about a 6 mile range for video/control with my drone.

It's a heavily modified 3D Robotics Solo that I picked up for $300.
