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. Quadcopters are fragile and can easily fail. The propeller is the first to fail. The chassis and arms may also be damaged by collisions. The price of quadcopters can be affected by the camera. Make sure you carefully consider what features you need. If you're interested in first-person views, a camera drone is the best choice.
Low-cost quadcopters
DJI Phantom 4 Professional offers a more affordable option for a camera drone. This remote control drone features an HD camera and a 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 drone can take high-quality photos and is small enough to be controlled remotely. It is safe to fly both indoors and outdoors because it is fully crash-guarded. Also, it can save video directly onto an 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 known as the RTK (EU-SDK). You can also use the Phantom 4 EU RTK SDK to make mapping easier 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 great number, but the drone will eventually stop working after only 20-25 minutes. In case of an unexpected power cut, ensure that you have at least five minutes battery life before returning to base. It will adjust the flight speed in high wind to avoid colliding with buildings or other people.

How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
You must first identify the damaged part of your motor before you can fix it. To do this, remove the propeller and motor shaft. Then remove any wires and take a look at the motor's inner workings. If you spot something wrong, you can identify which part of the motor needs to be fixed.
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.
Consider a motor that has become bent and won't turn. To get the motor to turn again, you'll need to bend it. You could use a vice grip or a pair of pliers to hold the motor while bending it back into shape. After you've completed the above, ensure that you inspect the motor for signs and wear.
Once you are satisfied with everything, mount the propeller on the motor shaft. Reattach the wires. Now your drone is ready to fly!
