Not sure if there is a thread like this and never seen one since I've been a member here.

Bought a quadcopter UAV. I was impressed with a guy who had one and had a video of a hawk attacking it on YouTube. So I bought this for around $80 and has a camera. Just want to get my feet wet in UAVs before I buy the $400 model.

Cool, looks like fun, I just saw one on Ebay for $63, shipped. Also noted this model from the same mfgr, it includes a protective "cage" but does not come with a camera, about the same price, model #UDI U828

A neighbor has a Phantom 2 with a camera, I wanted one bad when I saw him playing with it. Then I found out the $1,500 price tag. Maybe I'll look into the 1 OP got lol.

How about a link to the product OP? does it transmit live video as it flies?


It doesn't transmit live vido, however it takes still pictures or video stored on a micro SD card activated by the remote control. It came with a USB adapter so I can download the pictures or video.

There's two versions of this quadchopper. You want the U818A as that has the camera.

This is how it begins. Skynet gets built. Don't tell us we didn't warn you. You're gonna have to deal with it on your own.

This is how we destroy Skynet. By testing and harnessing Skynet's abilities for our own. LOL! Use their tech against themselves.
