Basics

  • This page goes over potential methods for controlling cheap (80-200USD) quadcopter camera "drones" with a PC rather than the included remote and/or mobile app
  • Many work via an unsecured 5ghz wifi connection, and thus are quite "hackable"
  • Despite not being as user maintainable / capable as a custom built Quadcopter , they are heavily accessable, and quite cost effective, and thus may be of use
