Customers regard the Tough-Cam GX 3.5-Channel Remote-Controlled Video-Copter as easy to use right out of the box. However, they have concerns about the short battery life.
I purchased this for my son. It is a nice little coptor and he loves it which makes life easy. BUT the problem is while he loves it when its on....the battery life is awful and so he only gets 10 to 15 minutes of play time with it. It is also a little hard to control and that is without trying to take pictures which isn't an easy task in itself. For the price, it works for him and is a nice starter and is OK. If I had to do it again, I would not buy this one and would do more research as opposed to this purchase which was a one-off.

not sure if its not calibrated correctly, but ive tried several times so if its still not maybe the problem is overly difficult calibration, but I cant get it to hover in one place. it always drifts at about walking pace even when there's no breeze.

This fell from less than 2 feet out of a 10 year olds hands to the grass and parts broke off. The height control works very well but the directional controls are very difficult to operate, even for an experienced operator. The camera is also difficult to operate. We have cheaper models that work much better and more expensive models that perform air stunts and tricks that are also easy to control. The battery has a very short charged life as well.
