Quad that can carry a go pro.

[thejman092]

I have been looking for a quadcopter that can carry a go pro and maybe a fpv kit on it too for about $240 and it must have brushless motors. Anyone know of any quads similar to that?

A 250 and up will easily carry a go pro and FPV eqiupment. There all kinds of sizes on eBay in your budget range.(search for quadcopter kit)

A gimbal helps tremendously with video, but you will need a larger quad to carry one.

You can start with the less expensive stuff, but if you enjoy it prepare to spend more than your current budget

What about a rtf?

 

[ringolong]

Not sure about rtf. Maybe a blade 200qx?

The kits are not to difficult to assemble, and I think they will offer a higher level of flexibility.

 

[ringolong]

Of course the go pro and fpv equipment would go over your budget.

 

[thejman092]

Do you have to do any coding or computing with a kit?

 

[ringolong]

For most there will be configuration to do on the computer. I think there are flight controllers that are configurable with out a computer. I think the kk2 is one.

 

[thejman092]

Yeah I wouldn't know how to configure one so I would need help with that.

 

[ringolong]

We can help you plus there are many videos on YouTube that are helpful too.

 

[thejman092]

How would I configure it on the computer?

 

[ringolong]

Depends on the flight controller you get. I use clean flight or base flight for the naze32 controllers.

 

[thejman092]

The blade 200 qx is what I'm looking for. Anything else like it?

 

[Jackson]

This would do it.

CX20

On paper it's a great quad with lots of high end features. Note the many positive comments. That said it has been plagued with many problems. Too bad.

 

[thejman092]

Haha wow I already seen that quad and I already have it bookmarked. Is the website legit?


And if I wanted to would I be able to Change the frame to a qav 250?

 

[ringolong]

I am guessing that you would need different electronics to stay issue free with a 250.

You could get the 200 for now, and then slowly purchase the parts to build a 250. You may want to invest in a good radio that will bnf to the 200 that you will be able to use down the road if you do decide to build a 250.

 

[thejman092]

I think it would be much better getting the cx20 instead of the blade 200qx because the blade 200 is a bnf and its more expensive.
