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. Although quadcopters can be fragile, the first component to fail is the propeller. The arms and chassis can also be damaged by collisions. Cameras can greatly affect the price of a quadcopter, so you should consider which features you want. A camera drone is the best option if you are interested in first-person view.
Low-cost quadcopters
DJI Phantom 4 Professional offers a more affordable option for a camera drone. This remote control drone has an HD camera, and a triangular-shaped gimbal. It features a new gimbal dampener and records video in 4k resolution at 30 frames per second. Slow-motion video can be shot by the Mavic Air. Both models have a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor as well as an equivalent 35-mm lens at f/2.8.
The DJI Spark is small and remote-controlled drone that can take excellent pictures. Because it is crash-guarded it is safe to fly indoors as well as outdoors. You can also record video directly to your SD card. The DJI Spark can also be used to learn how to fly. It is compatible both with smartphones and tablets. Its microphone makes it easy to record audio, even without a special receiver.
DJI Phantom 4
The DJI Phantom 4 quadcopters' cameras offer many benefits. You can use mapping capabilities. This mapping solution is the RTK(EU) SDK. If you wish to make mapping even easier for your drones, the Phantom 4 RTK EU SDK is available. Adding mapping to your drones is not difficult, as you can download the SDK for free.
The drone's advertised battery life is 28 minutes per flight. This is a remarkable number for quadcopters, but you'll only get 20-25 minutes from the drone before it dies. You should ensure that your battery lasts at least five hours before you return to the ground in case of power loss. It will adjust the flight speed in high wind to avoid colliding with buildings or other people.
