Best plataform

Hello everyone,
I'm a beginner in the UAV and going to buy my first rc model aircraft to take aerial photographs. I've read on
the forum the purest strains of the basic UAV, but not yet found a rc
model airplane that fits.
I'll take aerial photographs of low altitude, but large areas and I need to take several
photos in sequence.
Could you please suggest a cheap rc model airplane that could carry the avionics and a camera.
Sorry for my English.
Thank you.

EasyStar is the best way to start.

OK.
the Easystar can carry a Sony W90 camera?

Thanks.

If you want to go with a cheaper route than the EasyStar I would suggest the dynam hawk sky. With the hawk sky you can buy a ready to fly kit witch comes with a motor already powerful enough to us as a UAV. Not to mention that I have dove it into the ground at about 50 miles an our straight down, ran it into a huge forest of trees, and all I had to do was fix it with some gorilla glue.

I will buy this plane, ardupilotmega, arduIMU, GPS, Xbee, sensors, camera for FPV, Tx and Rx. Engaging my camera to perform precision aerial photographs.
Any suggestions?

Arduimu doesnt work with ardumega... use the oilpan for adrumega

But even with the oilpan, I still need the pressure sensor for airspeed and the magnetometer, isn't?
Thx

you don't need the airspeed sensor or magnetometer to have your UAV flying, however it is advisable to get an airspeed sensor, the magnetometer you dont really need unless you are going to be hovering

The magnetometer is used to see the heading. isnt? I want to see the way I'm going.

Again, GPS would give you that, unless as Alex mentioned, if you are hovering, GPS can't help you any more.

Guys, thank you for answers and help.
I hope soon to build a UAV and share with you my accomplishments!
