Christmas Present for Dad

[Bcopter]

First off hello all. Ive been looking for the last few weeks about getting my dad a quadcopter for Christmas and was hoping to get him a decent one to start with. I bought him a little helicopter about 3-4 yrs ago, one of those cheap ones from the mall vendors. He enjoyed it and had a good time and now that hes getting older I'm looking for something he might take up as a hobby. What I had in mind was something with possibly a camera since he'd get a kick out of it. So far these are the items I have in mind for him, but I don't want to buy a total piece of crap. I do have a budget seeing that its Christmas and I'm not buying it for myself Really probably looking for something sub $200.

Hubsan H107D FPV X4 Mini RTF Quadcopter $164.95

The Hubsan X4 H107D FPV Quadcopter Crash Pack (As shown) $20.25

Hubsan X4 H107L Quadcopter Propeller Blades Protection Guard Cover $2.50

Plus Ill probably end up getting some kind of high transfer rate 32GB SD card.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I've never flown the Husban, but for the budget, I think you picked the perfect solution. A lot of people like that copter as a starter and it really does give you a taste of everything flying quads has to offer (including FPV, which is really cool). Also, I think you're a genius for thinking to buy the crash pack and prop guards. The biggest frustration is crashing and having to wait for replacements.
