I'm looking for a helicopter that I can make autonomous. I don't want to spend over $200 on the heli itself, and I want it to be durable and powerful enough to hold a reasonably small camera.

Longer-term if you want to keep your costs down you should go for a quad which is more stable than a traditional helicopter and costs a lot less in repairs.
If you insist on it being a traditional helicopter you could get a trex450 clone from hobbyking.
