Ok Arfcom, MY search FU is very very weak. I am looking for a quad copter or a 6 blade copter or sairplane or something similar that has a FPV (copter transmits video to transmitter) and records the video and also takes still shots.  I have been looking but can't seem to find one with out selling a kidney and a pancreas.

I just purchased a Blade 350 QX...great for my skill level.

I also want to get into FPV.  There are some YouTube  videos with modified 350 QX's.

Try a YouTube search...quad copter fpv... That should do it.

Other wise you can get that goofy Parrot drone for around 400

The Parrot AR Drone most of that, except for stills, but it costs around $300.

Thread about mini-quads.  May or may not have some with FPV

I have a Blade MQX that I purchased to learn to fly...nothing like flying those little helicopters. I have a low quality 808 key chain camera mounted underneath it.

Once I become proficient with the MQX, I plan to get a WL Toys v262 with a Mobius HD camera. Although the v262 is cheaper than the MQX it's larger and more powerful. You CAN mount a GoPro under the v262. But I like the Mobius better...

How this helps.

With these threads coming and going so regularly you'd think arfcom would have a R/C sub-forum.  I picked up 2 Proto X quads before Christmas and just bought a Blade Nano QX RTF.  I figure if I like the NQX enough I'll eventually break down and get myself a proper transmitter and start exploring my options for a quality outdoor quad.
