I'm thinking of getting one of these for the kids to play with. This is pretty small, but it's also
relatively inexpensive.

Anyone have one of these?

I have one of these it takes a beating and comes back flying.
UDI U818A
Wow, even with the camera that's not a bad price at all.

That is just what I'm looking for. But I'll get the U817A. Don't need the camera.

Looks like it could hit a few walls and stay alive.

Thanks for the comeback.

I'd like one that can float so I can fly it around the boats and not
worry about it sinking.

Or tie a couple empty plastic water bottles to the bottoms:

That last one seems to do better than the first. The last half of the video gives the copter
perspective.

Very cool. There are so many of them it's hard to decide!
