I have decided to build a quad to perform go-pro pictures and video on a gimbal. I would like to do FPV in the future as well. I want something that is fun to fly, and be used for pre programed flights, and pictures and video.
I have about 40 acres I would like to fly around and take pictures and such. So FPV and range is important. But using this as an arial tripod is still just as important to me.
What I Have decided on so far.
I will probably run something like the DJI f450.
I havent decided on a radio, but found this http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=8992&aff=224284 on my first drone. Not sure if it is a good choice for what I am trying to accomplish?
As far as a controler and gps go, I was thinking NAZA v2 or open pilot. I do not know much about the open pilot, so I am leaning to the naza. Thoughts on this? I Would like to have something like the iosd mini. THat is why i meaning to the V2. I have heard some systems allow for a "follow mode"? Where the drone follows you? NOt sure about this.
Motors will be the standard 300 kit.
FPV will come down the road when I have more money to put into the copter. Probably run through the go pro.
Does this sound like a solid build?
As far as the flight controler goes, what do you guys think? As far as a budget Im around 600 for the build, before FPV. So I am on a bit of a budget.
I Am learning on a qx130 ethos at the moment. I can hover and walker the dog, but still crash alot lol. Wind is not my friend with this little guy.
