Quadcopters

[ibrokeit]

I have been taken to acquire a quadcopter for work. Will be using a GoPro Hero 3+ Black to fly around buildings and construction sites and take video/photos. What is a good turn key setup? Phantoms? What all do I need to get started?

i suggest using the Phantom 2 Vision and using the included camera. Using the GoPro, you will lose FPV which is super important. You should also know that at this time the FAA says commercial use is illegal.

I mean, uhhh, for my personal use. Yea. Personal.

Im looking at the Phantom 2 with the Hero3 Gimble and a KumbaCam FPV kit.

We have a Phantom with POV screen setup and Hero3. Works Great. You will need POV to make sure you are getting the shot. The rremote tilt feature is a nice touch also. The Gimball should be on sale right now at b&h photo also. Ask Byron for Details.
