Ends 11/28. Newegg has the Mega Fliers Giant Flying Fish Radio Controlled Giant Flying Great White Shark (or Big Mouth Bass) for $25 with free shipping. Features radio control for up to 50 feet of range, 5 feet long, realistic swimming motion and a 360 degree turning radius.
Saw this demo'ed at the Toys R Us in Time Square. It's actually pretty cool, and big. It floats in the air and looks like it's actually swimming in the air...
Keep in mind that there a a true "Radio Controlled" version and an infrared controlled version that is sometimes misleadingly called radio controlled or R/C too. The former costs more, transmits further, doesn't require line of sight and will work in bright sunlight indoors or out.
I was under the impression the true R/C version has "extreme" in the title so I suspect this is the infrared version. Not that you "need" the R/C version if you're always using it in a typical indoor environment, I just wanted to clarify this difference.
^ yes you're going to need helium or hydrogen in a mildly pressurized form to get enough lift. Use of a camera would depend on what it weighs, these have a blob of clay you put in as a ballast so there is a little margin by not putting the clay in or as much in, but not a lot.

these are really cool and pretty easy to fly.
lol...it would be fun to have one of this in your office n fly it around,, shark is a cool model too imo, but clown fish is more eye catching
would be better if there was an iphone or android app for controlling this

I think a school of flying radio controlled Piranhas would be more exciting.
let's not forget about the constant replenishment of the COSTLY Helium Gas!
looks like it would be fun once in a while.
i just saw this at the mall, there is a goldfish version too. It's cool
now if it was 6 feet long I'd be in for sure
Would you have to have a helium tank?
Can you hook up a camera to it and fly it into a friendly women's locker room?
