I was wondering what a good quadcopter for arial photography & videography. I want one that can either hold a GoPro or possibly a DSLR. I was wondering what the pros and cons of one that can hold a DSLR vs a GoPro. What is everyones favorite quad for videoing/ picture taking. What upgrades are necessary? What is a normal flight time of such quadcopters? I am not looking for anything very expensive.

I am quite new to the air RC's, so I don't have much knowledge of them and I would like to gain more. I have a nano QX that I have been practicing flying on as well as a simulator.

I also was wondering if there is a cool quadcopter that I could do some flips and other tricks with. This does not need to be able to hold a camera. This one would be for purely fun flying. What are some pros and cons of different ones and the general price range. What upgrades are necessary? What is the general flight time?
Thanks in advance and sorry for all of the questions.
 
Hi mate i can understand why no one has answered you , if it was me and i want RTF i would go with the DJI phantom it will carry a gopro
But if i was going to carry a SLR camera then multi-rotor is the most stable , if a quad lost a motor it will crash , a multi-rotor can loose a motor and still fly here are some videos of what a Phantom can do and a good multi-rotor
its does not have to be this big but this is what a multi-rotor would look like
 
Technically speaking, a quadcopter (4 rotors) is still a multi-rotor. A tri-copter (3 rotors) is a multi-rotor as is a bi-copter (2 rotors). So, I think what you mean is a hexacopter (6 rotors) or an octocopter (8 rotors). But, I would agree with the suggestion that a hex or octo would be best for carrying an expensive DSLR camera. Not only do you have redundancy (lose a motor on a hex or octo and you're still flying - lose a motor on a quad or tri, and it's coming down), you've also got a more stable and smooth ride and the strength to carry that sort of heavy equipment.
