DroneCam is an FPV Drone Simulator Addon for Blender that let you fly using a gamepad/controller. You control the drone directly in the viewport, in real time (and you can render the results too!).
Why? It's fun, it's fast, and it makes realistic camera movements. Add the drone, Fly around the scene, and Render.
Or just use it as a Drone Simulator to train your flying skills! DroneCam relies on a realistic flying simulation, with real-world formulas for drag, gravity, and thrust. It's very close to flying a drone in real life.
Compatible with Windows, Linux, Mac, and any controller or gamepad.
To be clear: This is NOT like the Blender native Fly mode, or using a spacemouse. DroneCam relies on a custom simulation with gravity forces, air drag, velocity, etc. All these things add "weight" to the flying and makes it way more realistic, you wouldn't be able to achieve this results with common techniques.
How To Use Plug the controller and launch Blender 4.3+
Install the zip file as you would with any addon
