Any drone owners here?

I've been looking around for an inexpensive ($125 or less) programmable drone, but having a hard time finding descriptions that even mention that they're programmable, or that you need a separate app, or whatever. A few of the ones that do, like from DJI, aren't available right now.

I'm mostly interested in learning how to program a flight path, as in "go here, turn, go there," and so on. Programming itself is not a problem: I've worked a bit with Python and a few others. Can anyone here recommend a good programmable drone, like one you have experience with?

Thanks.
