Range of flight

The distance that a quadcopter can travel in the air on one full battery charge. Simply put, this is the drone's range in kilometers. Note that smaller, lighter drones tend to have a more limited flight range compared to larger, more powerful models. In the latter, it can reach 30 km or more. Also, the maximum flight distance is often influenced by weather factors and the load carried by the copter.

Maximum flight time

Maximum flight time of a quadcopter on one full battery charge. This indicator is quite approximate, since it is most often indicated for ideal conditions - in real use, the flight time may be less than stated. However, by this indicator it is quite possible to evaluate the general capabilities of the copter and compare it with other models - a longer declared flight time in practice usually means higher autonomy.

Note that for modern copters, a flight time of 20 minutes or more is considered a good indicator, and in the most “long-lasting” models it can exceed 40 minutes.

Ascent / descent speed

The speed at which the quadcopter rises up in the air or descends to the ground. Recreational, photo and video models tend to have more moderate climb/descent speeds, while professional or racing drones can rise and fall much faster. This indicator can be used to evaluate how quickly the copter can rise to a height for filming or, if necessary, avoid obstacles, and a high descent rate will be useful if the drone needs to be returned to the ground quickly and safely.

Wind impedance

The ability of a quadcopter to maintain and maintain stable flight parameters in windy weather. In this column, it is customary to indicate the wind force in meters per second, which ensures trouble-free takeoff and landing of the drone within the permissible wind speed. Directly in flight, copters can overcome the resistance of even faster winds. But takeoffs and landings with wind strength above the designated level are fraught with unpredictable movements of the drone, loss of control and an increased risk of emergency situations.

Aperture

Aperture - a characteristic that determines how much the camera lens attenuates the light flux passing through it. It depends on two main characteristics - the diameter of the active aperture of the lens and the focal length - and in the classical form is written as the ratio of the first to the second, while the diameter of the effective aperture is taken as a unit: for example, 1 / 2.8. Often, when recording the characteristics of a lens, the unit is generally omitted, such a record looks, for example, like this: f / 1.8. At the same time, the larger the number in the denominator, the smaller the aperture value: f / 4.0 lenses will produce a darker image than models with f / 1.4 aperture.

HD filming (720p)

The maximum resolution and frame rate supported by the aircraft camera when shooting in HD (720p).

HD 720p is the first high-definition video standard. Notably inferior to Full HD and 4K formats in terms of performance, it nevertheless provides pretty good detail without significant demands on the camera and processing power. Therefore, HD support is found even in relatively inexpensive copters. And in high-end models, it can be provided as an addition to more advanced standards.

In drones, HD cameras typically use the classic 1280x720 resolution; other, more specific options are practically non-existent. As for the frame rate, the higher it is, the smoother the video turns out, the less movement is blurred in the frame. In general, values up to 24 fps can be called minimal, from 24 to 30 fps — medium, from 30 to 60 fps — high, and speeds over 60 fps are used mainly for slow motion HD.

Quad HD filming

The maximum resolution and frame rate supported by the aircraft camera (built-in or bundled) when shooting in Quad HD.

This standard is intermediate between Full HD (see above) and UltraHD 4K (see below); in cameras of modern drones, the Quad HD frame size can be from 2560 to 2720 pixels horizontally and from 1440 to 1530 pixels vertically. In some situations, such a video turns out to be the best option: it gives better detail than Full HD, while it does not require such powerful “hardware” and capacious drives as 4K.

As for the actual frame rate, the higher it is, the smoother the video turns out, the less motion is blurred in the frame. On the other hand, the shooting speed directly affects the requirements for the power of the hardware and the volume of the finished files. In general, values up to 24 fps can be called minimal, from 24 to 30 fps — medium, from 30 to 60 fps — high. Speeds of more than 60 fps are mainly used for shooting slow-motion video, however, for a number of reasons, such a possibility is rarely provided for in the QuadHD standard: relatively simple devices would require too powerful and expensive hardware for this, and in advanced copters, where the cost of electronics not particularly important, manufacturers prefer to use slow motion at higher resolutions.

Ultra HD (4K)

Maximum resolution and frame rate supported by the aircraft camera (built-in or bundled) when shooting in Ultra HD (4K)

UHD is a much more advanced video standard than Quad HD and even more so Full HD. Such a frame is approximately 2 times larger than a FullHD frame on each side and, accordingly, 4 times larger in terms of the total number of pixels. In this case, specific resolutions may be different; in copters, 3840x2160 and 4096x2160 are the most popular. Thus, shooting in this standard gives excellent detail; on the other hand, it puts forward rather high demands on the hardware of the camera and the amount of memory. Therefore, 4K support is an unmistakable sign of a high-end built-in camera. At the same time, we note that in modern drones you can also find more solid resolutions — see “Shooting above 4K”.

As for the actual frame rate, the higher it is, the smoother the video turns out, the less motion is blurred in the frame. On the other hand, the shooting speed directly affects the requirements for the power of the hardware and the volume of the finished files. In general, values up to 24 fps can be called minimal, from 24 to 30 fps — average, from 30 to 60 fps — above average, and a speed of 60 fps already allows us to talk about high-speed shooting UltraHD. However for full-fledged high-speed shooting, which allows you to create slow-motion videos, an even higher frame...rate is desirable, which is not yet found in copter cameras; however, modern technologies are developing rapidly, and the situation may change in the near future.

Viewing angles

The viewing angle provided by the standard quadcopter camera; for optics with adjustable zoom, usually, the maximum value is taken into account.

The viewing angle is the angle between the lines connecting the centre of the lens to the two opposite extreme points of the visible image. Usually measured along the diagonal of the frame, but there may be exceptions. As for the specific values of this parameter, in modern copters they can range from 55 – 60 ° to 180 ° and even more. At the same time, a wider angle (ceteris paribus) allows you to simultaneously fit more space into the frame; and a narrower one covers a smaller space, however, the objects that are in the frame look larger, it is easier to see individual small details on them. So when choosing by this parameter, you should consider what is more important for you: wide coverage or an additional zoom effect.
