The purpose of this paper is to explore an automatic balancing system using the proportional integral derivative or PID feedback control algorithm in quad-rotor Helicopter, so-called quadcopter, with the center of gravity, moved on account of payload. Nowadays, the quadcopter widely used for a variety of applications due to high stability performance. In many applications in quadcopter usually carried a payload in the middle of its frame to maintain the balance during flight. However, the application of quadcopter could be a contributing factor to increase a payload on one side and can lead to an improper position of the center of gravity. This study set out to investigate the use of the mass of battery and landing gear to create a counterbalance to compensate for the payload. The stabilization of the balancing system was implemented by the PID control algorithm to control the counterbalancing of the quadcopter. The current study found that the PID control algorithm works well to maintain the balance in a quadcopter with the center of gravity moving during flight.
