The Idea
The idea of designing and building a drone for myself was in my head for quite a while, after a got a internship at Gregor van Egdom I got the opportunity of actually making this happen.
The drones purpose
The ideal drone for me has to be a camera drone because I’m a camera enthusiastic. So my drone has to be a film/photography purpose because of that and has to stay within my budget (around €500,-)
The requirements
I started with a couple of demands for my drone:
- Frame has to be sturdy
- Can lift a camera with gimbal with a weight of 1000 grams total
- Needs to fly at least 5 minutes
- Programmable quad computer
- GPS flying
- Form follows function
