The common one everyone buys......
The DJI Phantom lime.
I think the Phantom 4 is the current model. The Phantom 3 Advanced or Pro are about equal, they are probably still on sale but are being discontinued - still good machines.
The Phantom 3 Standard has a poorer controller and can't fly very far, and doesn't work with some 'fun' software. I think the 'Standard' might be a poor purchase because of the limits.
Any of the above need a fairly new smart phone or tablet to be the video screen for the controller.
The DJI Mavik is the cool new fun toy. It is more compact, and might be what you are looking for. I have no experience with them, but they seem to get good reviews for a new machine in the 'fun' category.
GoPro tried making a drone a year ago. It didn't work right. They have re released it now, updated. Most reviewers seem to think it is a year behind, and not a very good deal price/performance wise. The Karma I think? You need a GoPro camera to go with it, so it has less features, and costs the same if you need to buy a camera as well.
There are others out there, but they have less support, less parts, less people familiar with them.
I would look at a Mavik, and a Phantom 3 Advanced, and a Phantom 4. See what your price level is, and what features you think are good for him.

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
