And to give you maximum entertainment, this limited edition comes with two high-density batteries that increase your flight time up to 36 minutes.
Recording and sharing in HD
During each flight, you can record an HD video that's sent directly to your iOS device. Download your video to YouTube with just one click from a user-friendly interface, or share your pictures on Picasa. Everything is simple and quick with wireless control application.
