So I'm starting a new build, I decided to build an Aerial Uav for photographs and films. The main purpose of this build is to educate others and hopefully influence with a tight budget to choose this method of aerial photography and videography building for its cost, technology in comparison to aerial drones on the market and the fact you build yourself therefore you know what is broken if anything goes wrong or you crash. This is what you Steemians can expect to see me blogging and building over the next few weeks!
To start the build I'm going to need a frame. Choosing the frame is difficult in 2017 with a wide range of knowledge but why? The industries innovation is like none other. The technology is advancing at a ridiculous pace so keeping up with what's going on is pretty difficult. There are many frames to choose from and, due to the fact it's going to be a 450 quad I want to advise two frame types. First and retro frame is the Dji F450. A basic cheap frame that will only set you back £13/20 that's perfect and brilliant for the job. This is the frame I reccommend if your looking to build your own aerial drone.
But buying and building a rigid frame means you have to accompany storage so this is why I've put this guide in place. I'm going to either buy both frames in showing or just one maybe both I'm not sure but being on a budget build to prove a point I'll probably pick one. So you can purchase folding 450 frames and many other folding frames of sizes. Looking into 450s here is some frames that are just the same but maybe abit more expensive.
Or
Like I say many other folding frames but I'm looking for a 450 size frame so these can work perfect. On this aerial drone I need to have a camera that is steady so a gimbal will be needed. I have some parts but will blog a proper blog of my build shortly when all parts arrive. This will take a few weeks I'm afraid as some parts come from China, USA and Korea.
Stay tuned for the build! By the way this will cost me about £200 to fully set up purely because I need a new radio. The drone itself I will calculate along the way!
