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
