CAMERAS FOR QUADCOPTERS: there are several cameras used to record videos and take pictures using a Quad. Basically they can be higher or lower resolution according the needs (professional or just for fun). HIGHER RESOLUTION – these cameras are mounted on special supports   (gimbals)   designed   to  stabilize  the  image.  Examples are:

1) GO-PRO HERO3+: Add-on | Weight: 74 g | With housing: 136 g | Video Resolutions: 4K, 2.7K, 1440p, 1080p (Full HD), 960p, 720p (HD) & WVGA, variable FPS | Video Format: H.264 codec (.mp4 file format) | Photo Resolution: 12.0 MP | Optics: fixed f/2.8 aperture, ultra wide angle view | Rechargeable Li-Po battery | Memory: microSD card | Wi-Fi built in | 5.8 GHz video transmission.

2) ILOOK:  Add-on | 76g (with antenna) | Video Resolution: HD 720p (30FPS) | Video Format: AVI | Photo Resolution: 1.0 MP | Memory: Micro SD card(max. 32GB) | Wi-Fi built in | 5.8 GHz video transmission.

3) RC LOGGER PRO: Add-on | Weight: 80 g | Video Resolutions: 720p (25 FPS) | Video Format: AVI | Photo Resolution: 5.0 MP | Optics: fixed f/2.8 aperture, ultra wide angle view| Memory: microSD card up to 32GB | Wi-Fi built in | 5.8GHz video transmission.

LOWER RESOLUTION – they are the smallest cameras found in the market. In general, these cameras have lower resolution and image quality when compared to cameras described above. However, because they are very lightweight, smaller drones usually use them. Some examples are: 1) WLtoys Part V959-16: Video Resolutions: 0.3 MP| Dimensions: 6.1 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm | Weight: 8.0 g | Memory: 2GB Micro SD | Card Reader. 2) Walkera TX 5885: Video Resolutions: 0.2 MP (1280 x 720) | Definition: 420 TV-Lines | Dimensions: 4.8 x 2.2 x 9.5 cm | Weight: 8.0 g | Memory: 2GB Micro SD | Card Reader | 5.8G Image transmission. 3) DV 04: Video Resolution: 0,2 MP (1280 x 720) | Dimension: 4.4 x 3.6 x 1.0 cm | Weight: 14 g | Memory: 2GB Micro SD | Card Reader. Other one: E-flite EFC-720 camera (Horizon Hobby Inc). 

VIDEO DEFINITION: Comparing 4K, Ultra HD (UHD), 2K, Full HD (1080p), HD (720p), DVD and VCD

Comparing 4K, Full HD (1080p) and HD (720p)

The headline fact is simple and dramatic: 4K deliver four times as much detail as 1080p (Full HD). It means that 4K shows image in eight million pixels compared to Full HD which shows in two million pixels image. The image clarity is more fine details, greater texture and an almost photographic emulsion of smoothness.
