    Hello!
    I recently got into drones and i bought one, but the one i bought doesnt have a live camera, just a camera you can take pictures with, is there any way you can add a camera that you can see through your laptop?
    Thanks, Zecty!

    What you are referring to is FPV or "first person view". This means you see on your screen what the camera on the drone sees. There are many various ways to set something like this up.

    Whether it is worth adding to your drone depends on the capabilities of your model (payload, range, etc.).

    You can get something like the Walkera iLook (also called CGO-1) which broadcasts to an app for your phone - or you can get something like this which includes the screen.

    The other option is just enjoy your model as-is...especially if it is a toy-grade model. Then your next machine can be one with FPV included.
