Air Hogs RC Hawk Eye Video Camera Helicopter Review - Top Boys Toy For Christmas 2011

One of the hottest Christmas 2011 toys for older children this year is certainly the Air Hogs R/C Hawk Eye Video Camera Helicopter. This is the perfect remote control toy for children that are over the age of 12 years.

What Does the Air Hogs R/C Hawk Eye Do?

Not only does it fly, but it will actually take photos from the air! You can record up to five minutes of video, take over 100 photographs, and keep your child entertained for hours while making lasting memories.

Your Air Hogs R/C can take candid photos that you cannot get with a normal camera. You can download your shots from your Air Hogs R/C directly to your computer as well using a USB cable. This will also recharge your helicopter for more flying time.

When you log into the Air Hogs website there are noted features you can find to add to the photo and video capturing fun.  There are features that allow your child to play with their photos and videos and create sounds, insert images, and even edit their video length.

With the Air Hogs R/C you will also get a remote control.  Just about every little kid loves to have an R/C device.  The boys especially.  You can watch them spend hours flying, playing and having fun with their new R/C toy.

When you purchase the Air Hogs R/C Hawk Eye you will get: The Air Hogs Helicopter, one controller and charger, a USB cable, and the instructions booklet. 

With the controller the photo and video buttons are easy for anyone to use.  Photographs have the option of being taken at 640x480, while videos will be taken at 320 x 240 resolution.  The helicopter has a two-channel controller and it can take a little bit of time for your child to get used to playing with.  After they have finally mastered the controls and flying the helicopter, your child will have all the fun while they capture candid photos and videos of family and friends.

As with any R/C device, you will typically pay a higher amount in cost.  The Air Hogs R/C Hawk Eye will retail at $65.00.  Even though the size of the helicopter is rather small, this is so that it is easier to move and fly, without having to constantly recharge the batteries.

This Air Hogs R/C is recommended for children over the age of 12, but just about anyone will have fun playing or even watching it.  If you are able to monitor and help a younger child, then they can have just as much fun with their R/C toy as an older child would.
