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 first component to fail is the propeller. The chassis and arms may also be damaged by collisions. 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
DJI Phantom 4 Professional offers a more affordable option for a camera drone. The remote control drone comes with an HD camera and triangular gimbal. It has a new gimbal dampener that records video in 4k resolution at 30 frames/second. Mavic Air can also record slow-motion videos. The cameras in both models feature a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor and an f/2.8 lens equivalent to a 35 mm lens.
The DJI Spark can take high-quality photographs with its small remote control. You can fly it indoors or outdoors as it is crash-guarded. It can also record video to an SD card. The DJI Spark can also be used to learn how to fly. It is compatible both with smartphones and tablets. 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 can be called the RTK EU SDK. The Phantom 4 RTK(EU) SDK can be used to enhance mapping on your drones. It's easy to add mapping to your drones, and the SDK can be downloaded for free.
The drone's battery lasts for 28 minutes per 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. That said, it is important to ensure you return to the base with at least five minutes of battery life in case of a power outage. To avoid collisions with people and buildings, the aircraft will adjust its flight speed for high winds.
