How long is the flying time per full battery charge?
CX10 about 5 mins fly , 20 mins charge. X5 7-10 mins on standard battery ,battery is changeable and cheap, get a pocketful.
Cheers.
The "toy" ones that take a memory card for the internal camera are quite capable of getting to that height. You just need to pick a very still day to fly. Keep in mind you have no real time video feedback on the cheap ones - so you need to fly and look at the footage after.
I've been perusing Quadcopters for a while. This one seems to fit your criteria. You can monitor the video during flight and also replay it on the remote control monitor without having to put the card in a computer to view it. Seems good value for 140 odd quid.
Cheapest First Person View yet seen has got to be this at just inder 60 quid, though it dosen`t get rave reviews anywhere :
The X4 H107D FPV has a long running thread here:
and the currently mere 280 page thread on the Syma X5
Found the one I mentioned earlier for £107 and free postage here:
In contrast, you can get a memory card "view after the fact" one for £35
Search Ebay for MD80 and you will find a miniature light weight video recorder for around a fiver with around an hour of battery life and it records onto a micro SD card. The disadvantage is that you can only view the video after the flight.
IMHO a mark 1 eyeball eighteen inches from the surface with a mark 1 hand to prod and poke will always be better than a remote visual inspection even with the very best HD cameras
Flying very close to a house in a drone without coming into contact with them is, shall we say, challenging.
And here's another one to consider (if you can get hold of a lightweight camera :-)
Here's another one to consider if you can find a light enough camera to fit.
A snip at just £34.99 :-)
They are a bit fragile , PCB is the legs, trying to get a cam at sub 7g is tricky.
This is tough, the props aren`t though spares advised, and about 20 quid ch eaper, UK warehouse
For something that will lift a gopro or SJ4000 with GPS ,does waypoint flyi ng etc, just over 200 quid
