Video flight with my $90 WLToys V262 Cyclone quadcopter ($80 for US customers, click on US warehouse to get price ). This is a great quadcopter for simple, cheap, and easy aerial video tasks. It can lift this Mobius actioncam, and also the GoPro Hero 3 video cameras. WLToys V262 Quadcopter

This flight location is Father Crowley Point in Death Valley National Park, CA, This would have been a spectacular flight. Unfortunately, soon after I get the quadcopter off the ground, I hear that telltale scream coming from the motors telling me that I have seconds to get the quadcopter back on the ground. Got it back just as the brushed motor dies, saving me from a nasty hike down the hill to retrieve my quadcopter :) And here is the exact location:
As I always recommend, beginners please consider this cheaper option to learn to fly on before purchasing an expensive high-end quadcopter such as DJI Phantom or even AR Parrot. Keep in mind that crashing is inevitable for all RC beginners (it's a right of passage). The V262 is somewhat durable, as is the Phantom. But stuff happens. It also takes time learning to maintain orientation on a quadcopter. Losing orientation in flight can lead to bad results. Would you like to risk a $100 or a $1000 quadcopter while learning to fly? Once you're comfortable flying, then consider the higher-end models (that is if you're still interested).
