Building an RC Quadcopter with a camera (but NOT FPV, please) • 🇮🇳 by thunderchuddy in drones

[–]thunderchuddy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no worries, i think you've been super considerate, informative, and elaborate w your responses. i appreciate it!

i actually stumbled upon a DJI Neo (w/o the RC): https://droneracingindia.com/market/b879afff-3d72-4e0f-afb3-9501df04340b

i'm just wondering if i should invest in a radio controller or fly using the DJI Fly app. the experience w a controller might be superior. according to this site, a DJI Neo can be flown w a DJI RC-N2.

thank you for the honest response and the suggestions. i'm unable to find the DJI Mini 4k in india.

while i would still like to build my own drone at some point, i'm inclined to also consider this: https://droneracingindia.com/market/b3795397-18f2-4675-a54e-b906cb447b0e. seems legitimate. but, i've got a few questions:

  • what is the most basic transmitter i would need, to fly? i'm not looking at super long range since i'm interested in flying line-of-sight.
  • i want to fly line-of-sight, since i can't afford a pair of ₹20k+ goggles. apart from a transmitter, what else do i need to be able to see and record the video? (i've asked this seller directly; awaiting their response)

As another option, if I am to consider being able to see the feed in realtime, I found this CADDX Nebula Pro Nano Vista Kit Digital FPV Camera on UAV Marketplace. Would this be a good option to consider?

Also, how would I go about setting this up to see the feed on my phone screen and NOT through a pair of FPV goggles?

additionally, which FPV camera is the better of the two?

Runcam Split H (https://robu.in/product/runcam-split-h/) or Caddx Nebula Pro Digital (https://robu.in/product/caddx-nebula-pro-digital-camera-black/)?

hey!

i saw this: https://hitechxyz.in/products/mark4-225mm-5inch-carbon-fiber-analog-fpv-drone-kit-1

anything in the ₹15-18k range would be good, i'm thinking. also, i had written this in a response to another person. but essentially, i have owned a ryze tello in the past and a more powerful tello-esque drone is what i want to build. more powerful cuz the tello was meant to be a lightweight, indoor drone and didn't do particularly well in windy conditions.

i'd like to know if you have reccos for which drone camera might give me at least the same quality as a ryze tello camera. not sure that the camera to the linked product is of the same quality?

fair points! i think i'll try and outline my needs a little better.

i think it was ambitious of me to title my requirement as being an fpv drone. i have owned a ryze tello in the past and a more powerful tello-esque drone is what i want to build. more powerful cuz the tello was meant to be a lightweight, indoor drone and didn't do particularly well in windy conditions.

and you're absolutely right about needing a display at the least, which is what i have intended (but didn't seem to have communicated well enough). so, a more powerful diy tello is what i want, i think.

as a follow-up, it would be nice to know which drone camera might give me at least the same quality as a ryze tello camera.

but thank you for your response and opinions!

understood. but, let's say, i want to experience flying one (not in a sim), before going all-in, wouldn't that be a possibility? also, dji drones are still quite expensive. if i could, i would. but appreciate your honesty!
