I'm not so much interested in the Ariel photography but I do really want to fly one of those super fast FPV racing quadcopter. But before I go and spend a grand on one I have to l earn to fly first. I can tell you though the little 3 inch X4 is a blast to fly and not to difficult to learn. Until like Brian said you get it flipped around backwards and then things get funky pretty fast!
I also bought an X4 before I got a Phantom. If you can fly the X4 well enough, it will feel like the phantom is flying itself. I still fly both.
