Using the GoPro gives way better video and the overall stabilization is much better. Plus, now DJI has a motorized gimbal that automatically corrects camera vibration and movement using the same data the copter uses to stabilize.

They run about $600 plus cost of GoPro. Gimbal is about $150.

Little less than I remember, but more than the OP's time. No foam hull and no body work. Just the device.

I've already peered in the bathroom window at the wife taking a shower. She was not amused...

Does that seem a little light for as long as it takes to charge?

See, that's really why devices like that were invented.

Charge time to flight time is a joke.

It certainly promotes having multiple batteries, especially the high capacity ones.

I have one word for these toys....Pull!

If I see one in my backyard, the operator better be able to GTFO quicker than I can reach one of my shotguns. Play with your toys on your own property
