Drone with my Camera

[rks]

I want to mount my own camera on DJI Mavic or other drone for my project. I may not require gimbal and stabilization technology.

I also want to stream the video from the drone to ground while it's moving.

Is there a possibility to mount my own camera on this drone. If not, is there any other drone which allows so.

You can, using a 3rd party mount. DJI advises against any payload of any sort, but people have posted videos showing they can support them. You will likely burn up your motors faster by adding weight, but here is a Google search for "Mavic Pro 2 camera mount"

they also make 3d cameras

Might void the warranty with any drone.

Yup. The MP2 actually gives you a warning that performance is decreased due to added payload, so it is recorded in the logs.

Also streaming video on a similar frequency might affect the control system as you get further away.
This was sometimes a cause of 'incidents' with more basic models when people tried to stream from gopros etc using the camera wifi

I am ready to buy another drone from dji or parrort if I can not mount my own camera.

Do you have some suggestions.

THIS would do the job but it’s out of my budget

Matrice 600 pro is too expensive. I am looking to stream out video along with drone streaming system. My camera does not weight more than 100g.

We need to now what camera you are going to mount , if you use a go pro than you dont need
anything more than the Mavic 2 but if the camera weights more than about 12 oz you wont be happy, but the go pro weighs around 4 oz with the velcro base than you would be find.

Just keep in mind the mavic 2 really cannot lift more than about 10 ounces without serious performance issues. If that wont work your better off getting an Inspire with its own set of camera lenses.

Good luck
