Provides the power needed for the motors and electronics. Most drones use rechargeable lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries.
Battery
The drone camera captures high-quality aerial photos and videos, stabilized for smooth footage and often featuring real-time live streaming.
Camera
The transmitter is the device you use to control the drone (usually a remote control), and the receiver is on the drone to pick up the signals.
Transmitter and Receiver
The physical structure that holds everything together. It’s usually made of lightweight materials like carbon fiber or plastic.
Frame
These generate lift and allow the drone to fly. Most drones use brushless motors that drive the propellers.
Motors and Propellers
This is the brain of the drone. It processes input from sensors and controls the motors to keep the drone stable and respond to user commands.
Flight Controller
Major Components of a Drone
The flight controller is the "brain" of the drone, processing input from the remote controller, GPS, and sensors to manage flight. When you push the control stick forward, the flight controller directs the motors to move the drone forward. In GPS mode, it uses GPS data to navigate the drone to a specific location. For instance, moving the drone forward would involve the flight controller activating the rear motors to achieve the desired movement.
