Quadcopters with Cameras

Although a quadcopter can be equipped with a camera, it isn't necessary. However, it may be worth considering if you are looking for aerial photography and first-person views. Quadcopters are fragile and can easily fail. The propeller is the first to fail. A collision can cause damage to the chassis and arms. You should carefully consider the features that you desire. Cameras can have a significant impact on quadcopter prices. Camera drones are the best choice if you want first-person views.

Low-cost quadcopters

For a more affordable camera drone, consider the DJI Phantom 4 Professional. The remote control drone comes with an HD camera and triangular gimbal. It features a new gimbal dampener and records video in 4k resolution at 30 frames per second. The Mavic Air can also shoot slow-motion videos. Both cameras feature a 12-megapixel CMOS Sensor and an equivalent of a 35 mm lens, an f/2.8 lens.

The DJI Spark is a small, remote control drone that can take high-quality pictures. You can fly it indoors or outdoors as it is crash-guarded. It can also record video to an SD card. The DJI Spark is great for learning to fly and is compatible with both tablets and smartphones. The microphone of the DJI Spark allows for easy recording audio without the need for a receiver.

DJI Phantom 4

The cameras on the DJI Phantom 4 quadcopters offer many benefits. You can use mapping capabilities. This mapping solution is called the RTK (EU) SDK. If you wish to make mapping even easier for your drones, the Phantom 4 RTK EU SDK is available. The SDK is available for download and you can easily add mapping to your drones.

The drone's flight time is twenty-eight minutes. Although this is an impressive number for a quadcopter, you will probably only get 20-25 minutes out of the drone before it starts to die. It is vital that the drone has at least five minutes of remaining battery life to return to the base in the event of a power failure. It will adjust its flight speed in high wind to avoid crashing into buildings or people.
