Blade 350 Qx Quadcopter
The very best quadcopter kit will mean a lot of points to a lot of unique men and women. Mine is the original GoPro, and although the DJI Phantom contains an open "basket" to hold your camera, it also utilizes the exact same GoPro mounting bracket components, so I kept mine in its GoPro case (for protection) and hung it upside-down from the Phantom. Everyone with a GoPro camera knows that it is incredibly uncomplicated to invert the video ride-side up. The Phantom 2 from DJI is far and away the finest FPV quadcopter utilizing an HD camera and GPS on the industry right now. That's not to say that the camera is terrible.
In fact, by keeping the transmitter pointed in the initial eastward take-off path, the cyclic stick direction will usually correspond to the direction of the quadcopter no matter how the heading has changed. To use House-Lock, the pilot normally maintains a tail-in orientation until the quadcopter is nicely beyond the 30-feet circle prior to assuming that Household-Lock has activated. This is particularly beneficial if a less skilled pilot is rotating the quadcopter to pan the video.
If a camera is really hard mounted with out auto-stabilization, the video will reflect the tilt (pitch) and roll of the quadcopter. If a camera is auto-stabilized on a gimbal, an OSD (on-screen-show) may possibly be implemented to overlay artificial horizon and flight data on the auto-stabilized footage which do not reflect the tilt and roll of hexacopter. Mounted on beneath or above the gimbal, TVL camera can be aligned with DSLR camera for framing your videos and stills.
Even if you at some point break a propeller, it only requires about a minute to switch out a $1 propller on a little quadcopter (E-Flite Nano Blade 350 Qx). With consistent practice, instruction sessions can then focus on intermediate orientations (e.g. tail-out & tail-to-left-or-suitable) and patterns (e.g. circles and figure 8). Based on individual's hand-eye coordination, you should be ready to transition to conservative flights on bigger quadcopter in a couple of weeks.
As the quadcopter takes off there is an initial sign of relief, then comes the negative news. Ones you appear at the resulting video, reality sets in. Maybe the on-line video that you are desperately attempting to replicate took 20 requires on a excellent windless day. If the strategy is to stick with a little camera with no an auto-stabilized gimbal, a minum of 8" propellers will suffice. Flight time will be around six to 7 minutes with the camera onboard.
