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)
- Comparison flight controlers
- Crius all-in-one pro - $57.50, GPS has to be bought separately ~$30
- MultiWii pro 2.0 with GPS module - $65
- MultiWii mega pirate - $49 (same as crius?), GPS $18
- Receiver
- Transmitter
- Motors
- Propellers
- Batteries
- Camera stabiliser thingies (ah, "gimbal" is the name for it)
- Price range $15-$40, weight 80-200g
- Simple build-in video camera?
- Wires (probably enough of those at home), connectors and stuff
Totals with components AnusCopter as basis Weight incl camera: 940g Excl camera and mount: 690g Total costs: 265 euro
To-do-next: tweak components to make sure they are suitable for this setup
