The phantom is one I am thinking about, or maybe a tarantula. Quadcopter just posted a video of a new quad that I like but forget the name. It’s sort of headless and has FPV but those features don’t attract me. It seems to have great range, stability and a decent camera.

Until I get better at flying no more small quads like the Hubsan. Too fast and sensitive for these old skills!

I’m saving up for a Phantom II. They’ve come down in price quite a bit and I like fact that they have a built in gimble. The other option is to get an add on gimble for mine but the II has longer battery life.

I was dead set against getting one of these until I decided it was a good way to get attention for our military vehicle club. I can get footage at some of the shows we do and then present them to kids in schools and maybe get them interested in REAL historoy.
