It seems like these flying cameras are getting more popular and affordable. If anyone has any vids please post them up!! Here is the el-cheapo drone I have. The Hubsan X4 (H107C) - Welcome to HUBSAN HOBBY (http://www.hubsan.com/products/HELICOPTER/H107C.htm)

And one of m y first vids, I have a lot of room for improvement on flying.

Neato, Cbot, and your flying is better than Joshska's - he crashes all the time. :)

Edit:

Pretty sure I could see Russia, Corey. :wink:

If you really want to have some fun with it, affix a banner to the back of it that reads, "nothing to see here" & put a large ".GOV" sticker on the bottom of the drone's frame then fly around your neighbor's place. :suspect: :suspect:

Get Josh to post his vids here. They are pretty good for newbie too.

I've got an AR Drone but haven't flown it in months, I'll have to dig up some old videos. By now any skill I built up flying it is gone. :p

So how much are these bad boys? Certain brands better than others for control and video quality?

The one I have is only $70. Quality and cost vary a lot. Mine is well worth the money, but not like a pro grade one.

More like a "toy" drone. Cheap, like me.

Not 'cheap' Corey - inexpensive.

Cheap ones come with their own cameras and the better ones use a gopro or similar camera. They can get quite expensive, but the quality of the videos goes up with the money spent.

My next drone will be a Ardudrone that I will build. It will carry a GoPro or similar camera.
