First Quadcopter

My first GPS quadcopter - CX-20, X350Pro or DJI Phantom 2 Last year I purchased my first quadcopter, it was the X5C from Syma.

iEagle Explorer 6 all-in-one GPS FPV quadcopter About this new iEagle Explorer quad we can't say that is cheap, but we also can say that is a very high-end quadcopter with 16MP camera, GPS navigation system and first person view (FPV). The only lack, that I found at the first view, was regarding the FPV system that uses the 2.4 GHz Wifi band and probably will have some video latency. The iEagle Explorer quadcopter has...
