Beginner looking for a simple drone to carry a GoPro

Hi,

Firstly, I'm a total beginner with drones. I've only had a few quick goes on a friends Mavic, but that's it.

I'm an artist who has been working on some new ideas, but I need some aerial shots which something like Google maps etc doesn't provide. I don't need to get any crazy height, just say 50ft or so to get some top down shots. To get these shots I'm planning to use a GoPro, of which I have a 3 black and a 4 silver.

I need something which can lift a GoPro.

So what I need help with is some guidance on the best way to go. I don't mind getting a kit of some kind and putting it together, or slightly altering something pre-built, and I'm looking to spend around £100.

So if anyone can help, and point me in the right direction, that would be very much appreciated.

cheers

Sam

 

Well first you need something with brushless motors and then you will need a stabilizing camera gimbal ($65 - $120). Then you will need the controller (TX) that has the ability to control camera position. Inexpensive brushless quads will not have such a controller.

These days most of the sophisticated quads come with their own camera. This is a very sweet deal for such a sophisticated machine, and Yiaomi makes great cameras.

Lotsa reviews.


Sell one of the GoPros.
