Although you don't necessarily need a quadcopter with camera, it can be a great option if the goal is to capture aerial photography or first-person view. Quadcopters are fragile and can easily fail. The propeller is the first to fail. Also, the chassis and arms can be damaged if it is collided with. Cameras can impact the cost of quadcopters, so it is important to consider the features you are looking for. If you're interested in first-person views, a camera drone is the best choice.
Low-cost quadcopters
The DJI Phantom 4 Professional is a cheaper camera drone. This remote control drone is equipped with an HD camera. The new gimbal dampener makes it possible to record video at 4k resolution and 30 frames per second. Mavic Air can also record slow-motion videos. Both models have a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor as well as an equivalent 35-mm lens at f/2.8.
The DJI Spark, a small remote controlled drone, can take high quality pictures. It is safe to fly indoors and out because it is crash-guarded, and it can record video directly to an SD card. The DJI Spark is also great for learning how to fly, and it is compatible with tablets and smartphones. The microphone on the DJI Spark makes it possible to record audio without any special receivers.
DJI Phantom 4
The DJI Phantom 4 quadcopters' cameras offer many benefits. One advantage is the mapping capabilities. This mapping solution is called the RTK (EU) SDK. The Phantom 4 RTK(EU) SDK can be used to enhance mapping on your drones. 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. 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 to avoid hitting buildings or people in high winds.
