GBM62R

I own one of these. Its a mini quadcopter with 6-Axis gyro. Has an onboard video camera that does 640 x 480 @ 30fps. The remote control is 2.4Ghz and shaped like a game controller. I tested the range and its about 80-100 metres (links to my onboard YouTube video are below).

The Skytech M62R box description:
- 6 Axis Gyro Stabilization System
- Aerobatics and Flips with the press of a button
- Fly indoors and outdoors
- Long distance 30+ metres

Specifications on the website:
- Product Weight : 46 g
- Package Weight : 0.47 kg
- Product Size (L x W x H) : 15 x 15 x 4.5 cm / 5.9 x 5.9 x 1.8 inches
- Package Size (L x W x H) : 26.8 x 16.7 x 11.8cm
- Remote Control: 2.4GHz Wireless Remote Control
- Channel: 4-Channels
- Control Distance: 30~40m
- Transmitter Power: 4 x 1.5V AA battery(not included)
- Model Power: Built-in rechargeable battery
- Charging Time: 50~60mins
- Flying Time: 5~6mins

If you prefer the non-camera version of this quadcopter, Gearbest also have the Skytech M62 (non R model) for 23.99USD using the Coupon code: GBM62.

Here's a YouTube video of what the Skytech M62 looks like (the M62R is virtually identical except the bottom light has been substituted with a camera):

    +1 for not calling it a 'drone', or tagging it as such.

    Still waiting for my order of Syma X5c-1 from GearBest a month ago :(

    • hitman47 on 20/12/2014 - 19:52

      Same here :( it is just like ordering from massdrop!

    • ShipShapeRC on 21/12/2014 - 00:06

      It's coming from China and just before Xmas. Unless you paid for expedited shipping then really its just par for the course. Not necessarily a Gearbest issue more likely a postal issue.

      • edfoo on 21/12/2014 - 08:55

        I also ordered simcard adaptors from them later on the same day, but I have already received it last week. Still no update on Syma X5C-1, and if I still don't get it next week I will have to open a dispute case with Paypal against GearBest before the 45 days is up.

    Cheapest..I can found here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/TOP-Quality-SYMA-X5C-100-Orig…

    • IVI on 21/12/2014 - 06:49

      Less than 10 ratings, at the moment…

      PS: It's: "I can find"

    I watched your video - it's far from 30fps, more like 1-2 fps!

      you mean 1-2 seconds-per-frame?

    • Mumbles on 21/12/2014 - 02:25

      I grabbed the frame rate info from VLC player. The bitrate for the video is about 1.2 MB/s. A lot of the jumpiness is due to the camera shake since it's very gusty.

      Compare with YouTube videos taken on Kmart/Target 30fps action cameras (eg. mountain bike riding) and you'll see similar frame rates.

    I watched the video with headphones on. Now I'm deaf.

    If the camera is really that lousy there's no point in getting the camera version!

  • geordie on 20/12/2014 - 19:05

    does it store the video onboard or transmit to something ?

    • Mumbles on 21/12/2014 - 02:16

      Its recorded via the Micro SD card inserted into the quadcopter. The manufacturer includes a 512MB Micro SD card and a USB card reader.

  • ycon on 20/12/2014 - 20:24

    damn would be a good chrissy pres. Anywhere local that sells these cheap?

  • beeze on 20/12/2014 - 21:02

    I hope that's wireless transmission issues, rubbish frame rate due to poor reception?

  • cloud68 on 20/12/2014 - 22:00

    640x480. Then I stopped reading.

    • mr kindface on 20/12/2014 - 22:26

      you're lucky to be getting a camera at all for <$40

    • Mumbles on 21/12/2014 - 02:11

      You could buy a 1080p key chain camera and attach it to the bottom of a Skytech M62.

      Heaps of Quadcopter enthusiasts are using the 808 #26 key chain camera. They're $100USD on eBay:
      http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?&_nkw=808+%2326+1080p

      I'm with Mr Kindface. In this price range you are lucky to find a quadcopter with a 2.4GHz remote control for outdoor use. The camera is a nice bonus.

      • edfoo on 21/12/2014 - 09:02

        That means you have to spend a total of $160AUD on a quadcopter and a camera. No longer such a bargain anymore.

        Or you can spend more, $70-80AUD on a Syma X5C-1 that shoots HD 720p video, though the image quality is still pretty crap.

  • zeto87 on 28/01/2015 - 17:02

    Received mine today. Has anyone installed the propeller guards?
