Is it true that the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 has TWO cameras ?
I thought it was one camera, two functions, video and still shot.
For me, it's to learn how to fly a quad, not much more or less. Want something not too expensive to fix when I crash and break things.
There are a number of relative inexpensive quads. There is the Hubsan x4 107L for about $55 on amazon or ebay. complete with a transmitter. It can be flown in your rig and also outside, but not when its windy.
If you want to have one with a camers, you can get the Hubsan X4 H107C
for about $70. Fly in rig and outside....again not very windy.
There are some that offer FPV....frist person viewing, your transmitter has a screen and a video is transmitter from the copter back and you see where ya goin. Hubsan X4 H107D FPV for about $175.
Spare parts, especially props can be obtained from ebay pretty "cheep".
Check out HorizonHobby.com and look at the Nano QX ad the 180 QX. They are fun to fly and really dont cost a lot....Hope this helps.
