Overview

A Quadcopter looks like a helicopter that has four arms and every arm of the copter has a motor and propeller with it. Their working is almost similar to that of helicopters, the only difference is that lift and thrust of quadcopters come from the four propellers while that of the helicopter only from one propeller. Quadcopters are basically of two types: Indoor quadcopters and Outdoor quadcopters. Indoor quadcopters are efficient in capturing the indoor pictures, movies and much more. Outdoor quadcopters are used to capture the outdoor pictures so efficiently like that of soccer games, outdoor parties, cricket games, etc.
