ZHIYUN CRANE M2 review: The Universal Soldier
Older guys like me probably still remember the movie named "Universal Soldier", it was about enhanced super troopers good for all the jobs. When I saw the first rumors about the ZHIYUN CRANE M2 gimbal, that movie came to mind. It is compatible with a versatile range of photo/video equipment. You can use it with smartphones, action cameras, compact...

The DJI Osmo Pocket was announced at the end of last year and from the first rumors we wanted to get one and test it here on FirstQuadcopter.

Zhiyun Smooth Q review: Tested at “Top of the World”

Z1-Evolution 3-Axis Gimbal review
I know this Zhiyun Z1-Evolution is not a 100% drone-related gadget, but if you want to make product reviews, you will need such a device. Usually, I record my maiden flights with a smartphone or with a head-mounted action camera. I always wanted a professional alternative but didn't have the time to analyze the possibilities. For example, it is...
