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. Although quadcopters can be fragile the propeller is usually the first thing to go. A collision can cause damage to the chassis and arms. Cameras can impact the cost of quadcopters, so it is important to consider the features you are looking for. Camera drones are best if you desire first-person views.
Low-cost quadcopters

It will adjust its flight speed in high wind to avoid crashing into buildings or people.
