Camera Feature....Not so much
A little deceiving with the "With Camera" description of the iHelicopter. Although, "technically" there is a camera, it is not easily accessible. One would think that if the helicopter includes a camera with video and still shot capability, that the user would be able to view what they are recording and/or see the video via the phone app......not so much. In order to access the camera feature, you have to take out the SD card from the Helicopters undercarriage and plug the included card reader into your computer to view your photos and videos. What? So essentially, you'll have no idea what you are videotaping or taking pictures of until you plug it into your computer later on. That makes no sense. Also, it claims you can record video for 1 hour, but there is only a flight time of 7 minutes - then a charge time of 45 minutes. I don't know, just seems a little dishonest with the product description of "with camera".

Not made by Lightspeed
Device received was not from Lightspeed. While it looks like the picture, the helicopter received was from another company, WL Toys in China. The manual is poorly translated into English and therefore fairly useless. The camera came with a 512MB micro SD card instead of the 2GB as advertised. The iPhone app, while it appears to have the same functionality, is not the same as advertised. Aside from these factors, the helicopter seems to be well made and contain all of the other features as described on Amazon's site. Overall, it's a pretty cool little device, but learning to fly is very difficult.

Do not buy!!
Got this helicopter for my dad for his birthday. Bought it early so I would have to worry that I would be able to get it. So by the time he opened it it was past the 30 days. So he tried to use it and it would not communicate with his phone or his tablet. So he tried to reinstall the app on both his phone and tablet and it still didn't work. And since it was past the 30 day return policy I can't return it to get him something different. It would be nice if amazon would do something for me.

Lots of fun!! Stopped working after about a year.
I bought this last Christmas and had a grand old time buzzing it around my friends' heads. Unfortunately it appears the Bluetooth receiver on the copter itself stopped working sometime over the summer. The materials themselves all held up nicely but for some reason it simply no longer responds to my phone.
