To each their own I guess.

The setup and teardown for the newer DJI drones is quite miniscule, IMO. Even for the Mini 3 it's no more than 2 minutes to set up. Usually I'll do it while we are just enjoying/taking in a sight. Most of our destinations involve hiking so it works perfectly with a break and some rest.

This shot, for example (00:02:04 mark) really captures the moment my wife and I were standing alone on this massive breakwater in a way that nothing else could: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eixbTpEeVwg&t=124

I don't know how I could otherwise capture the full experience of that moment and place in a photograph or on a handheld video device.
