Hi, it depends on the sensors you have on your drone. VINS-Mono can only be used with a single camera and an IMU whereas VINS-Fusion is an improved version where you can use different combinations of sensors: stereo camera (two cameras) and an IMU, single camera, and an IMU or two cameras. A stereo camera and an IMU will have the best performance - typically more sensors the better.
