[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 531230, member: 10784"] I know the feeling about costs... and video. I have the X5C and it has the same camera as your X8... It was (and still is) fun to fly and a great training tool. I was looking at upgrades and looked at the X8 but it did not offer any major advantage to me.. (the X8G has a 1080P but price is higher) I was looking at intermediate GPS Quads like the Cheerson CX20.. No Gimbal, but brushless motors, anti vibration gopro mount and you can add a functional Gimbel for about $65. Problem was, I do not own a gopro, so to get what I really wanted I would need to add the cost of a gopro and a gimbal. (at least a GoPro to start. When they dropped the Phantom price to 499, it became a no brainer and the CFO (Spelled w.i.f.e.) approved at that point. I have a friend right now who has $300 + gopro and he is looking now at the Cheerson as a good upgrade for him... Pat in GA [/QUOTE]
