You don't need a quadcopter that has a camera. But if your goal is to take aerial photographs and first-person shots, you might want one. The propeller is the most vulnerable component of quadcopters. Also, the chassis and arms can be damaged if it is collided with. Cameras can greatly affect the price of a quadcopter, so you should consider which features you want. If you're interested in first-person views, a camera drone is the best choice.
Low-cost quadcopters
DJI Phantom 4 Professional is an affordable camera drone. This remote-control drone includes an HD camera as well as a triangular Gimbal. It comes with a new gimbal dampener, records video in 4k resolution at 30 frames/s and has an HD camera. Mavic Air also has the ability to shoot slow-motion videos. Both models have a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor as well as an equivalent 35-mm lens at f/2.8.
The DJI Spark, a small remote controlled drone, can take high quality pictures. You can fly the DJI Spark indoors or out, as it has been crash-guarded. Additionally, you can directly record video to an SD Card. The DJI Spark can also be used to learn how to fly. It is compatible both with smartphones and tablets. The microphone allows audio to be recorded without the need of any receiver.
DJI Phantom 4.
The DJI Phantom 4 quadcopters have many advantages. One of the benefits is mapping capabilities. This mapping solution, the RTK EU SDK, is what you call it. And if you want to make mapping work on your drones even better, you can use the Phantom 4 RTK (EU) SDK. Adding mapping to your drones is not difficult, as you can download the SDK for free.
The drone's advertised battery life is 28 minutes per flight. This is an impressive amount for a quadcopter. However, the drone will only last 20-25 minutes before it stops working. In case of an unexpected power cut, ensure that you have at least five minutes battery life before returning to base. To avoid hitting people or buildings, it will adjust its flight speed when there is high wind.

How To
How to Repair a Damaged Motor on a Drone
First, identify the broken part of the motor to repair it. The easiest way to do this is to remove the propeller from the motor shaft. You should then remove the wires that are attached to the motor, and examine the inner workings. If there is something wrong with the motor, you will know which part you need to repair.
If the motor has not been damaged, it is safe to fly again.
Imagine a motor that isn't turning anymore because it has been bent. The motor will need to be bent back into its original shape. You could use a vice grip or a pair of pliers to hold the motor while bending it back into shape. After you've completed the above, ensure that you inspect the motor for signs and wear.
Once everything is fine, place the propeller onto the motor shaft. Now you are ready to fly your drone!
