Walkera 350 pro is pretty good for the money!

syma x5c....cost 45 quid on ebay and does a good job for me.

If you're looking to get in the way of flightpaths,go for a phanton dji - (very ex$pen$ive though)

I have a dji phantom which I use for filming stills and video of some car events. (Watch out for the H&S implications)

I find it easy to use and the results are very impressive, start at about £350 and just go up and up! (No pun intended)

But beware the CAA require operators to be certified competent

PFAW applies to anything that can be judged to be "business" or to produce images for sale or benefit.

But beware the CAA require operators to be certified

Really? Last time I looked into this there was no requirement for certification, which I find rather disconcerting in view of safety and privacy issues.

Key statement in my mind is 'a bit of fun'.

Not everyone is interested in being a peeping Tom or flying over crowds
