Ok I need some hand holding. I am trying to make a DIY drone with an HD camera to stream at at least 1080P60fps video all for under 40 bucks (the camera). Drone cameras with this type of resolution are prohibitively expensive starting at 300 bucks and the cheapest out of the box alternative is something like the YI 4k+ which is a chinese gopro clone starting at 100 bucks. The raspberry pi's supported camera is an 8 MP is nowhere near good to stream HD video at 60 fps

Anyways correct me if I am being naive but is it feasible to be able to homebrew your own go pro clone from spare go pro parts? such that you would only need to buy the CCD (20 bucks on ebay) and the image processor (dirt cheap) to cut out the bulk of the cost? Ive researched it a bit and while it is technically feasible, I could not for the life of me find any open documentation in the ccd (its a sony Exmor IMX sensor) or the image processing sensor (Ambarella). They arent available from digikey and the search engines arent returning anything. I know its possible but I just lack the know how of what image processor and CCD with proper documentation and tools I could use to build it. Can anyone shed some light please
