Drones with Quad HD camera

Quad HD

— a transitional standard between the popular Full HD and high-end UltraHD 4K. In cameras of modern drones, the Quad HD frame size can be from 2560 to 2720 pixels horizontally and from 1440 to 1530 pixels vertically.

This standard can be either the most advanced standard supported by the camera, or one of the fallback options that complement 4K or even higher resolutions (see the relevant paragraphs). In some cases, Quad HD may be the best option: it gives better detail than Full HD, while it does not require such powerful “hardware” and capacious drives as 4K.

Also note that shooting in this format can be done at different frame rates; this point should be clarified by the detailed characteristics of individual models. At the same time, a higher shooting speed increases the cost of the “hardware” and the volume of the received materials, however, it provides a smoother and smoother image, with less blurring of fast moving objects. A frame rate of more than 60 fps makes it possible to shoot slow-motion video, but it is in the Quad HD standard that such an opportunity practically does not occur. So, relatively simple devices would require too powerful and expensive hardware for this; and in advanced quadcopters, where the cost of electronics is not particularly important, manufacturers prefer to use slow motion at higher resolutions.
