Choosing a cheap drone

I am looking to get a cheap drone (around £50, I am ~14 and that's all I have right now) with a camera that can record and also be viewed live. The range should be 50m or over and I should be able to fly it for ~10 minutes before needing a charge. Is this too much for my budget or am I ok? Also, I found this earlier, would it be a good choice?

 

EDIT: I have an LG G3 (Android 5) if any drones need an app for viewing.

i5 6600K @ 4.4GHz / Cooler Master Nepton 240M (GC Extreme Thermal Compound) / Asus Maximus VIII Gene / 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 / 240GB SanDisk SSD Plus & 2TB SeaGate Barracuda HDD / EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 / XFX XTR 750W 80+ Gold  / Fractal Design Node 804                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Total: £1042.31

Yeah that's not really a thing, not for 50 quid. You can get something to learn on, but no camera, especially not with an fpv feed. Learn on a hubsan x4, then follow my guide, first link in my signature.

I have a Parrot AR 1.0 I don't want. It works off your smartphone, has a camera that shows up on you phone, and has two batteries with the charger, problem is only one charges.

I would give it to you for free, just have to pay for shipping.  I live in California, United States.

Edit: Works with Android. Used my galaxy s7 on it.

Thanks for the offer, I got a Syma X5HC-1 a couple hours after making the post though

Websites like banggood are your best bet for getting a new drone cheap. Used is the other option.
