This camera quadcopter has the gentlest beginner rate of all quadcopters. Great for beginners learning to fly indoors. But it also has much more nimble expert rates for outdoor flying. Find it here and here's the cheaper version without camera

Pro's
- Extremely gentle and stable beginner's rate.
- Bright lights for night flying.
- Good flight control range at about 100 meters.
- Includes headless mode and one key return.
- Quad automatically flies backwards in attempt to reacquire transmitter when quadcopter flies out of range.
Con's
- Confusing controls, especially for camera activation.
- 30 degree fixed downward pointing camera. Provides mostly ground views directly under the quadcopter.
- Must be in headless mode to activate one key return function.
