Hi all. I've got a strict £500 budget to buy a quadcopter for the FIL and I remember they've been discussed on here a fair bit. The £500 doesn't need to include a camera as he has a gopro 3 but does need to include everything else.

GPS would be nice but not necessary but it needs to have some sort of FPV screen (rather than goggles) and obviously wiring for his gopro.

Is £500 a do'able budget for something like this? Does anyone know of a uk supplier who can source this sort of thing?

Thanks all.

Sounds like that's the one to have but the £500 is pretty rigid as I think he's got some money from work to buy it.

Is the phantom 1 still being sold new?

Cheers guys. Thanks for the info. The parrot ar drone looks a lot cheaper but surely it doesn't have the distance if you're controlling it from an iPhone??
