Quadcopters With Camera

A quadcopter can also be referred to as a quadrotor or a quadrotor helicopter. It is essentially a helicopter which is propelled and lifted by four rotors in total. It can be basically classified as a type of rotorcraft. This was coined from the fact that its lift is primarily generated by a set of propellers or rotors that are oriented vertically.

They usually operate using 2 pairs of pitched propellers that are fixed. Two spin in the clockwise direction and the other two in the anti-clockwise direction. These two pairs use independent speed variations to enable the rotor to attain some significant level of control.
