I used to have a job selling those and they make ones with cameras built in but in general the helicopters are junk.

If you crash it once there's a good chance it's likely going to break. And they can be difficult to fly when you're learning. Not to mention the ones I sold were made in china.

I know nothing about RC copters, but I'd be willing to bet the $1400 models are different than the ones people sell in the mall for $50.
I did some googling and it looks like you can get a drone with HD camera a bit cheaper than $1400. Obviously you're probably losing something relative to an expensive model, but might be worth checking out.

Thread title just put the greatest image in my mind of RC helicopters, delivering RC's all across the nation, fighting the drug war against the DEA's drones. Laugh now, but just wait to see the the future of the drug war 2020.

Don't get one of these. The remote-controlled model helicopter hit him and the top of his head was sliced off

This is one of his videos. He was flying some thing like this. That's a pretty bad ass machine...
