But don’t count on the FPV being very good and the video recording isn’t great either. Props are cheap and you’re need lot of spares – the same with the mini LiPo batteries. It will help you learn stick controls and orientation and improve your flying skills with practice and they’re quite resilient when you crash. There are several hobby-level micro/mini quads out there that are more responsive and longer flight times than this guy, but I recommend getting one to practice with in your home, at the office or around your back patio. Because of this feature alone, I’ve selected it to represent this class of quadcopter, but that doesn’t mean it flies the best. Last year around this time, I did a review on the Hubsan H107D FPV X4 because it has a built-in camera and you can record the live FPV feed to an SD card on the remote. If you look on the hobby sites, in the stores and all over Amazon, you’ll find thousands of these little micro quads for less than $100.
ENDLESS SKY COALITION MISSIONS MANUAL
Since these entry level craft fly in primarily a gyro-stabilized manual mode and don’t have on-board GPS, they help you gain experience with the controls and orientation of the craft.
ENDLESS SKY COALITION MISSIONS HOW TO
This class is still quite amazing and often useful in training yourself on how to fly a multirotor in various conditions. Sorry if I don’t list your favorite brand – if they make it thorugh the next year unscathed, I’m sure they’ll be added to the 2015 list. This list is growing every month, but as of Dec, 2014 this is my current go-to list for the most popular kits out there. Another emerging class that I’ll cover in another article altogether is the FPV “sport” or “racing” class – primarily of DIYers and Makers that fly mini quads with FPV goggles, lightnign fast in challenging courses and are a lot of fun to fly, but not practical for inclusion in this year’s aerial video gear guide.Īnd obviously I can’t include EVERY airframe manufacturer on the market today, so this is just my opinion of some of the most popular currently available there are a LOT of new UAVs in development and production, through Crowdfunding campaigns and small manufacturer prototypes out there. And since I’m only interested in presenting you with options that you can shoot video and/or photos with and/or have FPV (First Person View) capabilities for training or shooting, I’ll only be listing the best choices in each category covered here. I’ve decided to separate this guide into several “classes” – from the smaller “toy” class (perfect for learning to fly with) to the builder/maker class of small UAVs, to the RTF (Ready To Fly) Quadcopters all the way up to the heavy-lifter hexes, octos and X8s. It’s not completely up to date but it will help get you in the ballpark on the different airframes/vendors out there. If you really want to analyze as to what kind of UAV/Drone you might need, check out this online guide with charts from the DIY Drones forums. So I’m compiling a list of products here and how they can be used for various purposes. That’s really a loaded question, usually, because it all depends on what you’re trying to achieve and how much time/money you can afford to put into it – and if you’re looking to start shooting commercial productions right away. I’m asked almost daily in my blog or social media communities, as to what would be the best craft to start with or for a specific need. We’ve seen advancements in 3-axis gimbal technology, providing smoother aerial videos new craft designs that allow more control and flexibility in getting those “impossible” shots improved camera options like the GoPro HERO4 Black, the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera and the Panasonic Lumix GH4 DSLR, and many more choices and options for all levels of fliers/shooters. The aerial photography/videography industry has literally taken off this year and so many enhancements, improvements, options and developments in sUAVs and personal drones. 2014 has been an amazing year for aerial/drone photography and video, and I’ve compiled a list of great products that will appeal to fliers and shooters for all levels!
