GEPRC Sparrow GEP-MX3: Robust mini FPV racing quad
Advertised with top speed of 170 Km/h, the GEPRC Sparrow GEP-MX3 is certainly not a learn-to-fly drone. You need serious piloting skills to hold in check this mini racing quadcopter.
Crashes are inevitable even for pro pilots, but thanks to the 3K carbon fiber frame and aluminium alloy canopy the Sparrow GEP-MX3 should survive in light impacts.
Instead of a no-name FPV camera, GEPRC opted...
Eachine E58: another Mavic clone
Following the success of Visuo, Eachine also announced their own Mavic Pro clone. The E58 follows similar foldable design as the much expensive DJI drone. Of course, the specifications are much poorer and comes with less reliable brushed motors instead of brush-less ones.
Thanks to the barometric air-pressure sensor, the Eachine E58 quadcopter is capable to autonomously maintain its flight altitude...
Syma X8PRO GPS quadcopter for decent price
Finally, Syma came up with their first GPS quadcopter. In order to allow precise auto return to home (RTH), the Syma X8PRO is equipped with high accuracy GPS positioning system.
Syma's X8 line became very popular because it was between the first cheap drones able to lift GoPro and alike action cameras.
Like its predecessor (read my X8SW review), the X8Pro's...
415B flying ball drone in 300 words
Bored from the usual design? Here comes the 415B drone, a flying ball. Not too conventional, not very aerodynamic, but pretty cool.
Foldable drones became quickly popular because they are extremely portable. You can take them with you almost everywhere. While the unfolded 415B measures 17.8 x 17.8 x 8.5 cm, when it's folded into a ball shape it measures only 8.5...
FuriBee GT 220MM Fire Dancer FPV drone
Surely, the FuriBee GT 220MM Fire Dancer is not just beautiful, but thanks to the 5 mm thick carbon fiber arms also very durable. The 960H CCD camera and flight controller are well protected by a aluminium alloy canopy.
Build around the versatile OmniBus F4 flight controller the FuriBee GT 220MM is configurable with multiple flight modes. While newbies can opt for...

All 3 versions (ET125, ET115 and ET100) are available with 3 different radio receivers.

Syma X22W, another wannabe selfie drone
Syma, a well known toy drone manufacturer, recently announced the X22W - a wannabe selfie drone. Excepting the small size and built-in WiFi FPV camera, there is nothing like the JJRC H37 aka the first sElfie Drone.
Featuring altitude-hold, the Syma X22W is capable to autonomously maintain its flight altitude at the desired level. Headless flight mode is another feature...
Mirarobot S60, a rethought TinyWhoop
Reaching speeds only up to 20 km per hour, the Mirarobot S60 drone will not win any race but for sure is a good start for newbies. Allowing to switch between 3 and 6 axis stabilized mode, they can accommodate not just with the basic flight movements but also can learn to do some flip tricks.
As I can understand from...
Hubsan H122D X4 STORM FPV racing quadcopter
After long absence, Hubsan is back with a compact racing quad-copter called H122D X4 Storm. Being a new model, there is a bit chaos regarding the exact features of the Hubsan H122D.
Hubsan announced the H122D Storm in two variants. Basic package without fpv display and a deluxe package with included 4.3" FPV monitor and compatible FPV goggle.
Based on my experience...
Jumper T8SG Multi-Protocol: One RC for all your drones
As lately most of the drones can be purchased in BNF package (without RC), multi-protocol transmitters like the Jumper T8SG can save you lots of money and space. Why should you buy every drone with its own remote controller when you already have one compatible with most of the popular radio protocols.
Jumper T8SG Multi-Protocol is the first commercially manufactured transmitter...
Drocon Cyclone X708W cheap drone for beginners
Like I promised last week, here I am with the next Drocon drone, the Cyclone X708W. Compared to the Bugs 6, the Drocon Cyclone X708W is a basic model with brushed models and limited functionalities.
When it comes to beginners I suggest not to invest a lot of money into something they can crash at first flight. Sold for only $55,...
