Well, I’m not sure of lower cost options as I like to provide a range if I can
but I used some gear from DJI. I have a phantom 3 pro, an Inspire and an M-100
which is a development platform. The M100 has a guidance option but I used
their LIDAR module and my own controller.
A lower cost option might be a home built drone. Helipal sells kits
and preassembled options where you can spec out your own parts. I built a
smaller Helipal quad copter with special motors for my son for racing and we’ve
clocked it over 100 miles per hour if you’re full pitch forward with the
throttle open. I got the parts for that for under $300 instead of $6K for the
M100.
I’ve also read though that I believe it’s parrot that has a drone that you can
mount modules on including an LTE modem for far less money.
Hope that helps somewhat.

Hi all, in particular Scott Granados,
Can you elaborate on what drone you are using? I did get a drone but it
works via an Android phone and the app is partly accessible. I need to
connect to the drone's Wi-Fi network and then send it commands. The drone is
programable but I still need to use the app to start the program. Yes, I am
tempted to use a network sniffer and see what traffic goes between my phone
and the drone but if there is a readily available drone with an API that I
can use, I am all ears.
