This has been around for a while but if you have not seen it, it is
worth watching.

Well for entry level that would be fine until you learn how to fly one
fairly well. They will crash so you need the replacement props and
other bits which probably doubles the initial cost. You can fly
around the house or park or whatever and get some vids, refine your
techniques and see if you like it then move up. The fancier ones like
the Parrot have a GPS return-home feature if the battery gets low, or
they lose control signal or something.
You could also go hobby on it, buy all the bits and build your own.
THere is a good web site for that http://diydrones.com/
Here's one you can build from e-junk

That was interesting. Thank you.
The limitation on the inexpensive ones seems to be the battery life.
One would need to be quick as they seem to be good for about 10 minutes.

These http://www.parrot.com/usa/products/ are well known
quadcopters, somewhat pricey but high quality.
Some site said this one was pretty decent

You can also buy small cheap ones for $100 or less from dealextreme
http://www.dx.com/c/hobbies-toys-899/rc-toys-801/rc-helicopters-840
which might be the way to give it a try

Who knows something about these doodads?
If I wanted to acquire such a thing, what would I have to spend to
get one with video worth watching?
