Hello folks. After 2 days reading I think I'm ready to ask a few questions. I'm a newbie into quads or even flying models. I have been into rc cars many years back.
I have a fascination with camera drones. I'm thinking of flying around the house in n outside. Recently I'd like to survey my roof for leaks. Fyi my house is above a a small hill and is 3 storrey high. Its kinda difficult to acess.
So my choice to start off
1. DJI Tello for rm500 + another rm100 for controller.
2. Eachine e58 for rm250
3. Visuo xs809hw for rm250 etc.
With the DJI I'm afraid the non adjustable camera is just pointing forward. Will it be a problem? Any remedy? Attaching a downward camera?
For the chinese spark clones, i think the prices are great but the camera maybe poor, but perhaps the alternative are extremely expensive? Batteries and spares can be had easily for chinese clones yes?
Last question. In fpv mode will it be possible to fly under the roof, above the ceiling in the attic? In complete darkness but with led illumination? Again, for survey leaks.
for what you need to do, you will need at least a 2 axis gimbal. better if you can control the camera tilt angle with a spare channel. when these things fly, there will be vibrations. you won't see the small details without some kind of camera stabilizer. a controllable tilt makes it easier to focus on what you need to see. all these is taking into account that you are viewing live image from the camera as well.
the craft itself must have some kind self stabilizer(GPS better). full manual is way to fast for small details as well.
yes, it's possible to do a lot of things in FPV, provided you have the skills.
