Know Any Budget Uavs?

Here's one at Brookstone for about $300. No the most professional grade, only 165' range but has a built-in 720p camera.

Interestingly, I stopped by a booth at a conference I recently attended who sold these UAVs similar to the Microdrone. Their starting price was $20K. The flight time was 20-30 minutes. The bird had 4 props and could transmit full HD back for about 1/2 mile. It could also find its way back to the starting point autonomously. Their primary markets were police and fire, and they were attempting to bing it to the security marketplace.

Interestingly, I also saw a controllable drone at a Brookstone Store for a "bit" lower cost ($300) that is controlled by Iphone.

Good geek fun, but not so sure I could sell it to the client.

I'm not sure of the budget available, but Microdrones' target market appears to be non-military, agency type outfits.

DJI Phantom quadcopter and RF Link wireless cameras should work. Video would be analog and low resolution, though.
