Hello All,
I have always been very zealous about RC places and in the recent past with Quadcopters.
Did some robots - line follwer, biped with 6 axis movement ( servos with own controller board ) and photographer as well.
I was thinking of aerial photography using a quadcopter.
I went thorugh various videos on YouTube, Articles and blogs, RCIndia forum posts and looking at the current budget in hand I think I would be able to make quadcopter without any FPV equip for now and then probably upgrade / add photographic equipments needed ( Just want to capture pictures, not for professional use) .
Can you guys please help me with choosing the right parts ! :help:
Frame -
Now, personally I liked the 450 frame not sure if it fits here. It should be able to accomodate in future the camera and electronics for it.
I don't need to put in a huge camera ! Just some basic one :)
Flight Controller - ( Of what I got )
KK2.1 - Easy to setup because of the LCD. Rs 2000-2500/-
CC3D - Tad bit cheaper, but have to be programmed through PC but better considering OpenPilot.org
MutiWii - ??
Only consideration here is I need to put in the camera in future, does it matter ? Stability, gimbal ?
ESC & Motors
850KV - 1000KV should fit my budget as well the thrust ? Although I am not sure about brand and no idea about the size.
4 X 20-30A ( Which brand I am not sure )
or should I go with the Emax single unit which 4 builtin ESC ?
Radio
6 Channel or more ? Would I be requiring in future an extra channel ?
Can you guys please help me get a good combination ? ( Or should I simply get a combo kit )
Your help is really appreciated and please ignore my novice questions.
Thanks a lot
I don't think KK and CC3D are such a good option for lifting a camera and capturing pics
Depends on how much your budget is and how long you're going to stay in the hobby.
I would say you should spend on a good radio like a turnigy 9xr.
Thanks for the replies.
@a3ruz Which board then would you recommend ?
@rishabhbarma I am on low budget ( ~ :Rs:20K ) but would like continue this hobby and would try to pump in more money :Rs: later on..
Go for a used naza lite with GPS, you should be able to find one on this forum.
Go for a 450 size frame,
Motors and escs- you can either buy new from quadkopters/Rcmumbai or get used ones from the forum.
Radio I would suggest the turnigy 9xr, if you need help ask the expert ashimda (Ashim uncle).
Thanks for the suggestions.
Do you guys think it's a good deal for me --

Although I am not sure about the make of the ESC & Motors.
Later on, I can add the camera onto this ? And considering my budget -
Kit ( 9700 ) + Battery / Charger (~ 3000 ) + Radio (FlySky FS-T6 2.4ghz 6CH Transmitter and Receiver - 3800)
Rs. 16500/-
should fit my budget
Any other options ?
I too suggest NAZA lite / M v2 , about radio as they said if you are gonna stick with this hobby go for a better transmitter , transmitters are always a lifetime investment , go for 9x , 9xr or higher ones
go for cc3d with librepilot or naze32 with cleanflight flight as fc
motor i would suggest are the one at rcbazaar (that 860 kv red coloured)
and a 9xr with djt module is perfect and cheap
frame is something that i cannot suggest
Guys, for the frame which size do you suggest --
450 or 330 ?
go for 450 ! that's better according to your requirements
450, 30A simon K, 5000mah 3s battery, 9 ch or 10 ch transmitter, a good gimbal and maybe u would want to use adrino for gps support, for altitude hold and return home
oh and a landing gear XD
