Are there any drones without a camera? How would you even fly it?

I mean......RC helicopters have existed for decades and are far harder to control than drones.

Look at the insanity that is possible with training and skill, no cameras needed: https://youtu.be/PptMrBFAO-A

Most drones didn't have a camera for many years. You fly it visually. And even if you have a camera you have to be in line of sight anyway.

under US hobbyist drone rules, you are required to maintain line of sight at all times. if you need a camera to fly the drone, you are probably breaking the rules.
