If it's R6 I'll have to bring it since this one works better for low light

george, that's been out for like about 2years but they just put a cam on it on direct transmission on a low fps rate back to the pad or the phone.
i believe it's a 800rmb (retail) price for the Xufo or whatever it's called. 4channel design, same as that, although the mass retail model also can be seen as the (x wing i believe?) star wars fighter craft thing as well (just a body shell)
just like most of the apple products, piggyback marketing goes really well on it. hell the guy that made the app 'hong kong boobs?' well yeah he's only a polytechnic Uni student and he's made loads of money on that app due to the piggyback marketing on apple products.
i've seen them sell for 2.5k hk in shops, not interested at all. and even if i was to use that in an airsoft game, that thing does not have enough power to juice up a HD cam (720p is the minimum to see the details of what you're aiming/shooting at, let alone seeing if the shots are hitting for evidence)
and even if it is. it takes a 200hkd springer to take one of these down. not feasible unless you really have the money to burn.
if it's a RC craft for indoors, 500 can get you a RF 4channel chopper for that in mong kok. look for nine eagles solo pro next you're at walt street

controlled by the pad/phone is new yes.
but the idea and concept is quite old, to fly the craft that is. specially the product itself, like i've mentioned on the piggyback marketing with apple products. this makes existing products rebranded with apple's style... sound that much better and more WOW involved.
if this was controlled by a regular controller, then the wow value wont be as much. actually i'm sure FC has seen plenty of these when he takes his trips up to GZ too

I actully had a play with on in the office. Wilson has one. hes just waiting for the App so he can record straight to his iphone. little costly... and i ever seen one at a wargame... i would be betting on how long it would take to shoot down.. lol. but still... fun! FC

Hahaha, don't shoot the eye in the sky! Better paint it frigging red or pink with yellow stripes.

the underside of it a dark grey. And i prefer to keep mine dark grey!
got 2 batteries for it, for a total flight time of 24 minutes! ^^
its stable enough for me to fly it outside my window and land it back inside. i live on the 10th floor.
