- bri3d 7y agoThere is an entire class of first person flying micro drones called “CineWhoops” which combine first person real-time video and HD recording on the drone and have an AUW far under 250g. They are certainly a different flying and photography style from a DJI style photo rig, and I’d argue a much more fun one.
- tonyarkles 7y agoComing up right away, both FatShark and DJI have announced digital FPV video gear that, if I recall, transmits 1080p. So long as they keep the weight down on the camera/transmitter, that should open up a lot of new capabilities too.
- afiori 7y agoThis kind of functionality should be in software, does is also directly affect weight (a bigger chip or similar)?
- tonyarkles 7y agoFor off-the-shelf gear, you could definitely be right. I don't know that market very well. For home-built though, you can definitely put together a rig that'll do GPS-based hover and other semi-autonomous flight modes.
