You don't need a quadcopter that has a camera. But if your goal is to take aerial photographs and first-person shots, you might want one. Although quadcopters can be fragile the propeller is usually the first thing to go. A collision can cause damage to the chassis and arms. Cameras can greatly affect the price of a quadcopter, so you should consider which features you want. 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. This remote control drone has an HD camera, and a triangular-shaped gimbal. It has a new gimbal dampener that records video in 4k resolution at 30 frames/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 small and remote-controlled drone that can take excellent pictures. You can fly the DJI Spark indoors or out, as it has been crash-guarded. Additionally, you can directly record video 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 of the DJI Spark allows for easy recording audio without the need for a receiver.
DJI Phantom 4
The DJI Phantom 4 quadcopters' cameras offer many benefits. You can use mapping capabilities. This mapping solution is called the RTK (EU) SDK. You can also use the Phantom 4 EU RTK SDK to make mapping easier on your drones. The SDK is available for download and you can easily add mapping to your drones.
The drone's battery life claims to last for twenty-eight minutes each flight. The drone's battery life is impressive for a quadcopter. But, it will likely only last between 20 and 25 minutes before it eventually dies. In case of an unexpected power cut, ensure that you have at least five minutes battery life before returning to base. To avoid hitting people or buildings, it will adjust its flight speed when there is high wind.

How To
Repairing A Damaged Motor Of A Drone
The first step toward repairing a damaged motor is to identify what part of the motor is broken. It is easy to do this by removing the propeller shaft from the motor shaft. Then you should remove any wires attached to the motor and look at the inner workings of the motor itself. If there is something wrong with the motor, you will know which part you need to repair.
If there is no damage to the motor, then you don't have to worry too much however if the motor looks like one of these images below, then you'll need to replace some components before you can fly again.
Imagine that the motor has become bent to the point it will not turn. To get the motor to turn again, you'll need to bend it. To hold the motor, use a vice grip or pair of pliers. After you've completed the above, ensure that you inspect the motor for signs and wear.
Once everything is in order, attach the propeller to the motor shaft. Now your drone is ready to fly!
