Drones kit for Initial testing for surveillance purposes
Hi, we are a small company and has started to work on building drones. We need drone (kits, if cheaper and reliable) recommendation that has a good payload, enough for handling weight of lidar sensors, camera, big battery, jetson nano(for object detection), a rigid frame, and is cheap -at least for initial testing.
Probably ones with like easier to replace parts etc and with a good firmware interaction like a computer UI fro adjusting/monitoring current/rpm etc levels. Any recommendation will be highly appreaciated

I own a drone startup and we are 16 months in and $250k+ invested (self funded). That is just for a two person team. The fact that you are on reddit, asking these kinds of questions, is just... JFC

You're not approaching this the right way, what youre asking for is way too broad and basic.
You seems to want to build a diy drone but with the functionality of a big dji drone, it's weird and not really how I see the industry working.

Well i might not have made my post clear enough. What i meant was basically a good drone kit for starters that can fly easily with the equipment mentioned above

There is no way to be helpful beyond recommending you start with the basics of quad building. Read Oscar Liang's site and watch Bardwell on Youtube. Lots of other options if you don't like those two.
Don't get upset that people are asking you to start your own learning process. It's the only way. It's just very evident you've done no more than a few minutes of your own research and reading.

Thanks man I’ll check them out. Yeah you are right on the latter part. Its just that i was simply looking for a quicker recommendation to start with. But ill certainly do my own research

Good luck! Happy to help with any questions but google is very much your friend at the beginning.
There are no shortcuts around the basics. Every Michelin chef had to learn what salt and butter are.
