OBTAIN F803 drone: Cheaper alternative to Mavic Pro?
At first look, the OBTAIN F803 looks like a great alternative to the popular Mavic Pro. It has not just a similar foldable design but also comparable features. The OBTAIN F803 drone comes in 2 Colors, white and black.
My biggest concern regarding these new gadgets from unknown manufactures is the after-sale support through spare parts availability. Famous brands like DJI...

Eachine EV100 FPV goggles: Dual antenna but no diversity
Following the success of their FPV headplays (with large single LCD), Eachine announced their first dual LCD FPV goggles called EV100. The new design allows much compact size which means more comfortable use.
The Eachine EV100 FPV goggles is advertised for only $99, which makes it a truly FatShark killer. Of course, only if FOV is correct and RX sensitivity is good.
Unfortunately, even...
YH-13HW quadcopter: Beautiful during night flights
Seeing the first images of the YH-13HW quadcopter, I was nicely impressed by those colorful LED lights. Being a multi-rotor enthusiast, I consider that every drone has its own charm.
When it comes to first-time pilots I recommend to start with cheap toy drones. Because crashes are inevitable I suggest to look for quads with propeller protectors.
Additional to the cool...
Eachine E013 combo: First step in the world of FPV
Surely, for only $66, there is no other FPV combo like this Eachine E013. The manufacturer prepared an offer hard to refus. The package contains a nice ducted mini drone with VTX camera, transmitter and 3" FPV goggles. Yes, all you need for your first FPV flight experience.

Turbowing CYCLOPS 3: DVR Camera for FPV
Recording the journey of your FPV flights without a DVR camera like this Turbowing CYCLOPS 3 can be pain in the ass. Firstly, I used an external mini DVR which I connected to the output of my FPV display. Quality was nice but complicated to wire everything together. Later I purchased another monitor with built-in DVR, wiring problem solved...

BAYANGTOYS X20 sElfie drone with voice control
Frankly, I got bored from this "Selfie drone" madness, there is no week without a new model. Like this BAYANGTOYS X20, all want to pose as the perfect personal flying camera. The truths is that without spending few hundred of dollars you can't expect a truly selfie drone.
Additional to the usual features (Alt-Hold and Headless flight mode), the X20 foldable quadcopter...
TKKJ TK111W Foldable drone with WiFi FPV
It looks that cloning popular drones becomes a general rule. Even clones are cloned :D. The TKKJ TK111W seems to be a cheap copy of the VISUO XS809HW. Both quad-copters adopt similar folding mechanism and features.
Yesterday, one of my friends asked me "how can drones keep stable their flight altitude". Toy grade drones use barometric air-pressure sensor to determinate their relative...

Thanks to the integrated air-pressure sensor, the drone is...
FEILUN FX176C1: First brushed GPS drone under $100
Equipped with a GPS positioning system, the FEILUN FX176C1 is the first drone under 100 bugs with truly intelligent flight modes like Follow me and Waypoint Mission.
At first look, the weak point of this cheap GPS drone is the brushed motors. They have a much shorter life span compared to brushless ones. In my opinion, to extend the life...
