Auto hovers, auto trim, has failsafe settings, can be set to automatically return to home, quite a bit larger and heavier than the Parrot (and much more powerful) so that wind does not affect it... and even if the wind does blow it around, the stabilized camera gymbal removes any evidence of movement.
I built it for about $2800 from parts I gathered myself. A lot of things I already have just from being in the RC airplane hobby for so many years.
The parrot is a fun toy and a good trainer if you want to step up to a more serious aircraft. The first thing I would do after you get bored with it, is mod it to fly with a real radio transmitter instead of an iOS device.

Would you be able to post a parts list. Aerial cinematography is what I want to get into and I'd like something a bit more than the Parrot to learn on.
