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 also damage the arms and chassis. You should carefully consider the features that you desire. Cameras can have a significant impact on quadcopter prices. Camera drones are best if you desire first-person views.
Low-cost quadcopters
The DJI Phantom 4 Professional is a cheaper camera drone. The remote control drone comes with an HD camera and triangular gimbal. The new gimbal dampener makes it possible to record video at 4k resolution and 30 frames per second. Mavic Air also has the ability to shoot 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 drone can take high-quality photos and is small enough to be controlled remotely. 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 allows audio to be recorded without the need of any receiver.
DJI Phantom 4
There are many advantages to using the cameras on the DJI Phantom 4 quadcopters. One advantage is the 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. You can easily add mapping functionality to your drones by downloading the SDK.
The drone's battery lasts for 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. To avoid hitting people or buildings, it will adjust its flight speed when there is high wind.
