Drones have been the kings of the sky for some time.
With the quadrocopters, you can take unique videos and photos from lofty heights.
The result is a bird's eye view of images that could never have been made before.
Of course, drones are intended for flying and fun, but models from DJI and Co. with cameras have additional functions and make flying an unforgettable experience.
As with any technical device such as smartphones * or smartwatches, there are a few things to consider when buying a drone with a camera.
Not only the technical equipment is very important, also the weight.
Because this not only contributes to the flight characteristics, it is important for a required drone license.
We'll introduce you to the best models with cameras and show you what to look out for.
Drone with a camera: what to look out for when buying
Range:
Drones can fly up to several thousand meters - at an extremely high flight speed.
The range is specified by manufacturers such as DJI with FCC and CE.
But what do these abbreviations mean?
Behind the FCC is the US Federal Communications Commission, the authority responsible for flight services.
CE is a product that complies with EU regulations, i.e. also affects Germany.
Therefore, always pay attention to the CE range of a drone.
Video quality:
Drones impress with ever better cameras with even better resolution.
But not only the quality is decisive here.
The accessories supplied are also important.
The term gimbal comes up again and again in connection with drones with cameras.
A gimbal is nothing more than a suspension on the drone that ensures clean image stabilization.
This means that professional recordings can be made even in stronger winds.
Flight time:
Controlling a drone should be fun.
Stupid if this fun is over after just a few minutes.
Therefore, when buying a drone, it is advisable to look at the flight time specified by the manufacturer.
20 minutes of fun should be possible before you have to land the drone again.
Weight and size:
These two factors are responsible for the flight characteristics of a drone.
The bigger a drone, the better it can defy wind conditions.
Weight is doubly important: On the one hand, a drone must have a certain mass if you want to attach a camera to it, for example.
On the other hand, since the beginning of 2021, weight has been decisive for the drone driver's license.
This is necessary from 250 grams.
Drones with a take-off weight of less than 250 grams can also be flown close to people.
