This is a very good price for the drone and camera. I wonder how well it works. Oh, if you live in Russia or North korea, they will not send one to you. I wonder why. :D

You might want to read the comments before ordering. Appears a lot of people ordered the thing, paid for it but have not received the item. Just saying. Looks neat but wish the video showed images from the on-board camera.

Reading the comments, I think it's a very small company with a very small staff. They're selling a good product at a low price, so they seemed to be swamped with orders. Getting the product out to customers seems to be a slow process. You'll have to be patient.

Right. I was surprised that the camera didn't get more attention. As I said above, this seems to be a very small operation. If it was for sale on Amazon, and I could get it by Monday, I'd order one.

After reading some of the buyers' comments and questions, I think I'll pass. I want one but am concerned about delivery and service.

Jerry, my impulse buy button is beckoning me to go for this! Not sure if I can hold off. Please post your experience with it if you purchase :)

I was going to say the same thing to you. :D

I'll wait a while and see how things go with them. Of course, by then the price will be higher. :cry:

640 pixel camera, that's smaller than the average flip phone. Not much for image quality there. And with the reviews posted I don't think it would be worth the risk myself.

Yeah. For the price, though, it would make a good RC toy.

The american importers won't. The Chinese manufactures have sent 500,000 to N. Korea and 250,000 to Iran, the Russkies are developing their own!

Did I miss something. I didn't see any camera attached to the Micro Drone on the promotional Video. Can it support a Gopro? or how much weight can it support?

Does look interesting.

I think it';s the little black box in the center. The Q&A said it's not HD. I think it's all part of the package - no add-ons. The GoPro would probably be too big and heavy. For $80 there are limitations. Still, it would make a nice toy.

What model gopro do you have and do you like it. I have considered a gopro but after reading all the neg reviews about video problems I am still on the fence.
