Abstract: According to various embodiments, there is provided an aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle includes: an airframe comprising a central member defining a longitudinal axis; a gimbal coupled to the central member; a camera mounted on the gimbal to face a direction at least substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis; wherein the gimbal is rotatable about the longitudinal axis to spin the camera around the longitudinal axis; and a propulsion means configured to propel the aerial vehicle, wherein the propulsion means is offset from the camera along the longitudinal axis.
