This quadcopter is very affordable and durable. I've banged it into trees, the ground, even my house, and it still works fine. I found I had much better speed control on level 2, especially in the wind. The video is grainy and the motors are pretty loud, but for the price I can't complain. As an example of the quality, I've attached a photo taken with a UDI camera in flight. Battery life for me averages 8-12 minutes per battery depending on flight conditions. The UDI comes with two batteries and a charger for two batteries at the same time. The included charger charges both batteries in about 90-120 seconds.
