Quadcopter is an unmanned aircraft driven by four motors and can be controlled remotely, making it usable for detecting an object. Current adaptation of the technology is incredibly effectively used for the public interests, especially for monitoring the safety of victims during natural disasters. The purpose of the present study was to design a quadcopter using the DJI Phantom Frame as an initial test for detecting objects at several heights. The present study used the experimental method, in which the quadcopter was designed first and subsequently several tests were performed. In terms of specifications, the designed quadcopter had an X configuration with 2 rotors at the front and 2 rotors at the rear. It used 2-blade propellers of 9 inch in diameter, Inav FC, Dji Phantom Frame, Esc Blheli_s 30a, DJI 920-kv motor, Phantom 4s battery, DJI gimbal, DJI Phantom camera, DJI Phantom remote control, Ublox m8n GPS, 9-inch propellers, Inav software and DJI GO. The quadcopter was subjected to the following tests: the Li-po (lithium polymer) battery power tests; quadcopter remote control test, Global Position System (GPS) test, and radio telemetry test.
