Hi I am from Denver, CO USA and have been on the web searching for the best path & Quadrocopter to purchase. Here is my situation - I don't have unlimited funds and need a good quality quadrocopter that I can attach a small HD Video camera to. I thought I had it all narrowed down to the Conrad 450 ARF but then discovered that they don't ship to the US and only had a 35mhz transmitter (Illegal in the US). So now it is back to square one.

Unfortunatly most of the good quads are in a kit (Build) format. I want something prebuilt with transmitter, Easy to fly, and decent quality. I guess what I really need is a mentor in the US that can assist me. Maybe even be my go to guy for any issues & guidance I may have. I would consider paying for assistance as needed.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

maybe the gaui 330x-500md is interesting fore you:
GAUI X330 Quadrocopter

Thank you. I will take a look.

Hey Nutzzz! Welcome

I've bought one of this GAUI X330! Hope it arrives soon

If you are good with computers and don't mind a project, I think the aeroquad (aeroquad.com) is amazing. You can build it for about the same as the x330, and its got a full 6 DOF IMU instead of just a 3 axis gyro. Its also going to be able to integrate new sensors, such as an barometric pressure sensor for altitude hold, GPS for position hold, it will integrate with the Remzibi OSD so you don't have to double up on sensors for stability control and OSD etc, etc... also check out the direction they are taking it with the DIYdrones community. http://diydrones.ning.com/profiles/blog/...e=activity

Welcome Nutzzz . I have a X330 on the way too ! I am going to do a step by step build log . I have been thinking about building a few to sale (prebuilt ) .

Thanks aaronredbaron. That does sound cool but I really do want something prebuilt or very easy to assemble (idiot proof). I do love the sensors that keep it from hitting objects though.

It seems like allot of people are getting the X330. I am looking into it. Not sure what the best transmitter is for this copter? Think it needs to be 5 channels at least to accommodate a possible GPS add-on later. I don't even know how to add the selected transmitter to the copter? Does the transmitter come with a chrystal or something that I need to attach to the X330?

Thanks
