The idea
Make a quad copter that can make pictures
- so stability is preferred over stunting
- would be nice if I could add auto navigation, but this is not required
- want to control the camera from the ground
- budget ~250 euro
Related and inspired by:
To do
- Gather info about comparable quad-copters
- Estimation of the weight, and figure out which parts are needed
- See which camera would be suitable (programmable simple lightweight cam)
- Think about the design
- Order parts
- Make the thing
- Learn to fly
Parts
