Can a Drone camera be bought seperately

[geri]

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy a camera for a Drone that doesn't have one. It's a sky viper stunt drone. I did some searches but can't find any info. Thanks.

It's very unlikely you be able to get a camera and battery pack light enough to attach to that drone and still get it off the ground and perform in any useful way. If you wanted to view a live stream from the camera, you'd need to add a transmitter and a separate receiver to view. Adding much weight to that drone would likely affect the stunt capabilities.

Generally, only those drones that have been designed to carry loads, or have a camera attachment will be capable of performing with an add-on one on board.

There are two general types of camera that are attached to hobby drones - HD (such as a gopro or other action camera) & FPV (first person view which transmits video via 5.4ghz).

I doubt that drone could take the weight of an action camera.

This is an FPV one that you could attach if you know your way around electronics - [broken link removed]

You will also need a receiver and some way to display the signal.

Might be easier to buy something like this - https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-E5...rmmds=search&ID=531929531932&cur_warehouse=CN

And a battery unless there's access to a 5V supply from the drone.
