BetaFPV 1506 3000KV motor review: Perfect for CineWhoops
A few months ago, I tested the BetaFPV Pavo 30, a very capable CineWhoop. Unfortunately, I needed to replace the flight controller and two of the motors due to an accident. While the stock motors were 3400KV, I found as a replacement only these BetaFPV 1506 3000KV ones.
Brushless motors in the drone world are marked with a 4- digit...

RunCam Link Phoenix HD Kit for DJI FPV Goggles
After Caddx, RunCam also started a cooperation with DJI in order to manufacture digital cameras and FPV transmitters. The RunCam Link Phoenix is advertised with 32ms latency at 1280*720@60fps.

The RunCam Link VTX module measures...

Zino Mini Pro spare parts and accessories
Shortly after I published my Zino Mini Pro review, I crash it. Now, the drone is on my workbench with one broken arm, damaged gimbal support, and cracked bottom shell. The battery in the drone was also damaged, despite that, it fell from about only 4 meters on soft ground. In my opinion, it was a hardware failure but...
Artillery Hornet 3D printer review

LDARC EX8 review: FrSky transmitter for cheap
Last month, LDARC, formally known as Kingkong, announced their third beginner-oriented drone transmitter named EX8. Being compatible only with Futaba & FrSky receivers, without any future upgrade capability, I think they joined late to the game, as everyone moves to ExpressLRS these days. My LDARC EX8 review covers technical specifications, features, and initial settings.
The LDARC EX8 features 8 channels...
Elegoo Jupiter: Super-sized 6K LCD 3D resin printer

The 5448 x 3064 UHD monochrome panel achieves a pixel pitch of just 51µm that should provide outstanding print quality. The Elegoo Jupiter was announced as a Kickstarter project and will be the biggest 3D printer...
FEIYU POCKET 2S pocket gimbal: Weird or Handy?
The FEIYU POCKET 2S gimbal's split design looks weird and handy at the same time. Feiyu Pocket 2S is the world's first palm-size gimbal with a detachable stabilized 4K camera. This new approach allows almost endless mounting possibilities. When the camera unit is detached, you still have 3-axes stabilization, allowing for pretty smooth footage that would be difficult to...
