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

  • Body/frame (DIY, because easier to replace parts)
    • Choose build and material: printed, wood, or carbon frame
    • Models Thingiverse
    • Carbon 4.50-8.50 euro per meter Muco
  • Flight control board, with integrated camera control (gimbal and push-the-button support)
  • Receiver
  • Transmitter
  • Motors
  • Propellers
  • Batteries
  • Camera stabiliser thingies
  • Simple build-in video camera?
  • Wires (probably enough of those at home), connectors and stuff
