Here's the link to B&H Photo who appears to have the best price for the quadcopter. You have to supply your own GoPro camera.

On a side note, I am planning to purchase this exact same quadcopter, but opted to purchase a lesser unit first so that I could learn to fly it. Now I've spent $50, and I've learned it is extremely tricky to learn how to fly. I hope to show up a Quartzsite next year with my quadcopter, as well as hours of experience so that I can hopefully shoot photos as good as these.

There are some great simulators out there, like Phoenix 4 and RealFlight that will help a lot with control. Blade makes a Nano QX that came out recently and is a great little stabilized $70 trainer you can fly indoors. Keep in mind the larger quads have things like lost link return home via GPS, so that will save you many times. I haven't completed all my research, but blade offers a quad that will also carry a go-pro and stabilized turret for quite a bit less, when I checked locally. May be another option for you.
