A quadcopter equipped with a camera may not be necessary. But it might be worth looking into if you want to take aerial photos or first-person views. Quadcopters are fragile and can easily fail. The propeller is the first to fail. Also, the chassis and arms can be damaged if it is collided with. A quadcopter's price can be greatly affected by its camera features. You need to carefully choose the features you require. A camera drone is the best option if you are interested in first-person view.

How To
Repairing A Damaged Drone Motor
To repair a motor damaged, the first step is to identify which part is broken. The best way to do so is to take the propeller off the motor shaft. You should then remove the wires that are attached to the motor, and examine the inner workings. If you see something wrong, then you know what part of the motor you have to fix.
If the motor has not been damaged, it is safe to fly again.
Consider a motor that has become bent and won't turn. This means that you will need to bend the motor back into shape. You could use a vice grip or a pair of pliers to hold the motor while bending it back into shape. After this is done, you should inspect the motor carefully for any signs or wear.
Once you're satisfied that everything's ok, put the propeller back onto the motor shaft and reattach the wires. Now you are ready to fly your drone!
