$90 beginners high performance quadcopter. ($80 for US customers, click on US warehouse to get price ). Great with GoPro Hero 3 or Mobius Action Camera. WLToys V262 Cyclone http://www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V262-Cyclone-2_4G-4CH-6-Axis-RC-Quadcopter-With-Camera-RTF-p-77720.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3
Can lift a GoPro Hero 3, but I like aerial video with my lightweight Mobius HD Action Cam. http://www.banggood.com/Mobius-Full-HD-Sports-Camera-1080P-30FPS-720P-60FPS-For-Multirotor-p-90648.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3

The Temblor Range is located coincidentally with the San Andreas fault.  In fact this range of mountains was directly formed by the San Andreas.  For good reason, the name "Temblor" is spanish for tremor or earthquake.  These hills are sparsely populated, mainly with cattle ranches.  Although not many people drive through here, in the spring these hills literally can  become painted with wildflowers of many different colors. Unfortunately this year is a record drought year, hence the dry brown hills of this video.  The exact location for this flight is: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.3294692,-119.7658332,293m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

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).
