Video flight with my $90 WLToys V262 Cyclone quadcopter ($80 for US customers, click on US warehouse to get price ). This is a great quadcopter for simple, cheap, and easy aerial video tasks. It can lift this Mobius actioncam, and also the GoPro Hero 3 video cameras.

The location for this flight is again in the southeast corner of the Sierra Nevada mountains, adjacent to Hwy 178. The specific location is Walker Pass at it's intersection with the Pacific Crest Trail. Another great place for hiking, picnicking, camping, or whatever outdoor adventure interests you.  And if you're still curious, here's exactly where: https://www.google.com/maps/preview/@35.6631589,-118.0368605,89m/data=!3m1!1e3

As I always recommend, beginners please consider this cheaper option to learn to fly on before purchasing an expensive high-end quadcopter such as DJI Phantom or even AR Parrot. Keep in mind that crashing is inevitable for all RC beginners (it's a right of passage). The V262 is somewhat durable, as is the Phantom. But stuff happens. It also takes time learning to maintain orientation on a quadcopter. Losing orientation in flight can lead to bad results. Would you like to risk a $100 or a $1000 quadcopter while learning to fly? Once you're comfortable flying, then consider the higher-end models (that is if you're still interested).
