12 Days of Tested Christmas: Mini Quadcopter

On the 11th day of Tested Christmas, Norm shares his pick for a great micro quadcopter that's ideal for beginners. It comes ready to fly out of the box, with an included radio transmitter, and has easily replaceable parts in case you crash it. This model has a built-in video camera, but there's also one without, for less.

The first part of this video was actually shot with the Phantom 2 Vision+!
