FPV Quadcopters or Quads is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone with four rotors, each with a motor and propeller. A quadcopter can be manually controlled or can be autonomous. It's also called quadrotor helicopter or quadrotor. It belongs to a more general class of aerial vehicles called multicopter or multirotor.
Small quadcopters are easy to build because of low cost, low inertial force and simple flight control system. Quadcopters provide stable flight performance, making them ideal for surveillance and aerial photography. Other application areas include delivery, land surveys, crop assessment, weather broadcasting, and more. Quadcopters exist in many sizes, from palm-sized ones to those that can carry passengers or heavy cargo.

Betaflight is the name of a flight control software, used for flying multi-rotor radio controlled aircraft. Originating from the Baseflight and Cleanflight open source projects, the project was branched off as a high performance 'beta' testbed. Evidenced by years of lead development, Betaflight has matured and grown into the largest flight firmware in the FPV drone racing and freestyle community due to its cutting edge performance, features, reliability and wide range of hardware support.
