Still, I'm sure it would be a blast.

Too bad my kids aren't old enough so I could get one and 'share' it with them.

Well 20 mins is the standard for any type of drone with a good camera and all the features. There are so many variables when it comes to flight times, my best was 23 mins without the go pro, video transmitter, and carbon fiber landing gear. But i built mine to maximize flight time and you can't just add another battery or bigger since weight is a BIG deal.

You can get small racing drones with a decent camera for ~$150 built. But they get around 10 mins of flight time.
