The photography drone is almost similar to the other kind of drones, but with extra payload and a good camera. You can guess why the photography drone has to have extra payload: because it will carry a camera. If you use some kind of small weight digital camera, then your drone does not necessarily have to be able to have a good amount of payload. You can use your existing drone that we have already built with some customizations. The thing you need to remember is that the more you can control your drone and camera from the ground, the more you will be able to do good aerial photography. If you build a quadcopter as a photography drone, then whenever one of the motor fails, you will literally be doomed. If you build a hexacopter, then there is a little chance your drone and the camera will survive. So, the safest drone for photography is an octocopter. We will build...

Overview of this book
With the use of drones, DIY projects have taken off. Programmers are rapidly moving from traditional application programming to developing exciting multi-utility projects.
This book will teach you to build industry-level drones with Arduino and ESP8266 and their modified versions of hardware.
With this book, you will explore techniques for leveraging the tiny WiFi chip to enhance your drone and control it over a mobile phone. This book will start with teaching you how to solve problems while building your own WiFi controlled Arduino based drone. You will also learn how to build a Quadcopter and a mission critical drone. Moving on you will learn how to build a prototype drone that will be given a mission to complete which it will do it itself. You will also learn to build various exciting projects such as gliding and racing drones. By the end of this book you will learn how to maintain and troubleshoot your drone.
By the end of this book, you will have learned to build drones using ESP8266 and Arduino and leverage their functionalities to the fullest.
