Building a Drone to Take Selfies and Record Videos

Have you ever thought of something that can take a photo from the air, or perhaps take a selfie from it? How about we build a drone for taking selfies and recording videos from the air? In this chapter, we will build a drone for aerial photography and videography. Don't worry; you can use it for taking selfies too. Before going on to build our photography drone, we will discuss the usages and present photography drones in the market, as well as the reason why you should build your own photography drone. We will also discuss the following topics in this chapter:

  • Drone photography or aerial photography
  • Connecting cameras to the drone
  • Controlling cameras from the ground
