It is estimated that there will be over 3.4 million hobbyist drones in the air by 2021. That’s not entirely surprising considering by 2016 there were 1.1 million drones hobbyist drones. Considering that and the fact that there are over 600 drone startups today, drones are well on their way to becoming an everyday toy for everyone to play with.

Drones are pretty costly, however, especially those that are custom made from manufacturing industries. The good news is that with just a little skill and the right parts, you can build your own drone and, maybe, participate in some pretty big drone race events. The fpv drone kit provides various parts which can be fixed together to create a fully functional drone.

Frames

The frame is the body of the drone which holds everything up together. The material of frames ranges from carbon fiber to metal depending on how much you are willing to spend on them. Metal frames offer a stronger build while other frames may be lighter and faster.

Motors

Drones use four motors, one for each of the propellers. It is recommended that you get the same type of motor for each propeller. Motors come in singles, pairs or fours. The amount of money spent will depend on how much power you require from your drone.

Electronic Speed Controller

An ESC is, obviously, what controls the speed of a drone. However, it also controls the direction through these changes in speeds. Each propeller must have an ESC within it so that instructions that are remotely sent by the user can be executed accordingly. ESCs usually come in a 4-in-1 pack and are affordable to get.

Flight Controller

FCs are the processors of a drone. They contain sensors which detect instructions from the user as well as the orientation of the drone in the air. Some FCs contain SD slots for video storage purposes.

Camera

The cameras required for drones are generally small. Luckily, there are small cameras nowadays with very high lens power at low prices. There are infrared and night vision options which are available today in the market.

Video Transmitter

VTs come with a number of channels installed to ensure users don’t lose control by going on the same channel. They are also fitted with multiple power outputs to suit various needs such as racing and flying around.

Receiver

The receiver comes with either single or double antennas and will depend on the user’s preference. There are affordable receivers that can be found at various online stores.

Props

One is always spoiled for choice with propellers. Just be sure to select those that will last for a while. The online reviews can help you decide which ones will suit you best.

Bearings, nuts, and bolts

You’re going to need a couple of these for you to assemble everything. Luckily, there are those that come in complete kits of different sizes and colors. These are essential for your drone construction.

Drones are continually finding use within homes and everyone is going to need one soon enough. Think taking vacation photos without having to carry stands to include anyone, nighttime inspections, or even delivering something to your next door neighbor. They are definitely a worthy addition.
