Buy or Make Quadcopter
Buy or make? That is certainly the most common question we'll ask as we are just started to pick up our interest in quadcopter.
If you haven't decided, then this post will offer thoughts on the things to think about before making the decision to buy or make a quadcopter. These are the key points to take into consideration before you make a decision:
Motivation Before we decide, we've got to ask ourselves
“Why are we getting this quadcopter? ”
Each person may have different motivation. If we want to make use of it to shoot video or capture image, we should just purchase a complete quadcopter.
Getting a complete quadcopter will save us some time and we're able to make use of the quadcopter without going through the need for building one.
However, building a quadcopter can be an interesting process where we get to learn and explore about quadcopter. If we're into discovering and exploring, we should build one instead. Making a decision here is largely depending on our motivation.
Technical A lot of people thought that we need to be technically gifted for us to make a quadcopter, this statement is not really accurate. There are a number of ways to build a quadcopter, every way have their own degree of difficulty.
We are able to select the degree of difficulty we want and proceed to build it based upon that method. On the flip side, some individuals may prefer to just purchase a completed quadcopter as they are not planning to pour in the time and energy to make one.
Price
Concerning prices of both options, there aren't any significant differences. If we would compare both options of comparable specifications, they'll have the similar prices. Hence, not much to think about on price factor.
Once you consider all the points mentioned above, you should be able to make up your mind.
