Programmable Drone kit with camera

General
1

I’m envisioning a project that demands a programmable drone equipped with a camera, and it must be adaptable because I intend to incorporate a grabbing mechanism and integrate a Raspberry Pi for computational tasks. Whether it’s a DIY kit or requires assembly from scratch, I’m open to both options.

Furthermore, I’ve come across discussions regarding stringent regulations governing self-flying drones, even when operating within the confines of one’s backyard and fenced boundaries. I’m curious about the specifics of these rules and where I could potentially conduct tests for my project without infringing upon them.

For a programmable drone with a camera and a Raspberry Pi, check out kits from DJI or Parrot, or go DIY with a Pixhawk controller. For regulations, even backyard flying can have rules, so check with your local aviation authority for specifics on where you can test your drone.

Knowing which nation you are in would be useful because the laws there differ. Do you also want the grappler and Raspberry Pi to “bolt on” as a separate component or do you want them to plug into the drone flying controller?
