An octocopter is a type of drone that has eight rotors, which allows it to fly more stably and carry heavier payloads compared to quadcopters, which have four rotors. This design provides better lift and redundancy; if one rotor fails, the octocopter can still operate safely. Octocopters are commonly used in various applications, including aerial photography, agriculture, and search and rescue operations. Their ability to hover and maneuver in tight spaces makes them valuable tools for capturing high-quality images and videos from the sky, as well as for delivering supplies in hard-to-reach areas.
