Abstract
The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV comprises a body housing control and wireless communication circuitry for the UAV and a rechargeable power source. The UAV has a plurality of propellers surrounding the body and supported so as to be spaced outwardly from and preferably above the body. A gimbal is mounted under a forward portion of the body for supporting a camera. The gimbal may be arranged under the forward portion of the body such that an angle of a forward vertical field of view of the camera is less than an angle of a forward vertical clearance field of view defined with respect to a forward tip of at least one of the propellers. The gimbal may be arranged under the forward portion of the body such that a lens of a camera supported thereon is substantially in line with a front edge of the UAV body.
