KINGKONG Tiny 7 another Inductrix clone
KINGKONG Tiny 7 micro FPV quad with ducted prepellers and 800TVL camera
Thanks to the protective canopy, the KINGKONG Tiny 7 looks more like a Blade Inductrix clone than a Tiny Whoop copy. Based on the versatile F3 flight controller, it can be configured with multiple flight modes (like: Acro or Angle).
According to your existing transmitter (remote controller) you can opt between 3...
JD-11 quadcopter: Nice design. Long play time
JD-11 drone with DJI Inspire alike design
Honestly, on first look it is obvious that the design of JD11 copies the much expensive DJI Insipire. Even the transmitters are very similar. I'm curios if the arms and landing gears are also foldable.
In my opinion, besides the nice design, biggest advantage of the JD11 is the superior flight autonomy. According the specs, the 1200mAh...

DJI Phantom 3 SE with extended flight range
Second skin of the Phantom 3 series
Firstly, the Phantom 3 series was announced in 3 variants: "Standard", "Advanced" and "Professional". Few month later DJI announced the "4K" edition with WiFi FPV and now, here is the Phantom 3 SE.
This is weird, at least for me, because in most of the countries DJI already stopped selling the P3A and P3P because they are focused...
Kaideng PANTONMA K90 with obstacle avoidance
Kaideng K90 aka Micro PANTONMA
Following the success of the K80, Kaideng announced a much smaller model, called K90 Micro Pantonma. In terms of design and features, the Kaideng PANTONMA K90 is very similar to its bigger brother.
Like its predecessor, the K90's camera allows to record videos (1080x720) as well as capture still photos.
Due to its small size and included propeller protectors, the KD...
J.ME Follow Me quadcopter with WiFi FPV
J.ME Follow Me selfie drone from Feima Robotics
Feima Robotics, an unknown multi-rotor manufacturer, just announced their first selfie drone, called J.Me Follow Me.
Like most of the selfie drones, the J.Me comes without a physical remote control. The aircraft can be controlled in three ways trough your smartphone. While I'm already accustomed with virtual sticks and gyro control, I would be interested to test the voice...
RunCam Swift Mini FPV camera
RunCam Swift Mini camera for FPV racing quadcopters
Although the RunCam Swift Mini is much smaller than its predecessor, it has the same weight (12g). In my opinion RC should also focus to reduce the weight of their FPV cameras. Currently there are on the market AIO VTX cameras that weight only 4 grams.
Thanks to the wide input voltage range, this RC...
Huanqi H899C cheapest GPS quadcopter for GoPro
Huanqi H899C drone with headless mode and GPS return to home
Surely, biggest advantage of this Huanqi H899C over the Syma X8 series is the GPS assisted return to home. When the flight battery is near empty, the quadcopter will automatically return to the take-off point.
While the H899C drone comes without a camera, it is promoted that is capable to carry GoPro...

While the Aurora 90 has a ducted fan design, its "bigger" brother has a much sporty design. The 600TVL camera is located in front of the carbon fiber frame.
In order to be able to easily...

While the WLtoys Q383A comes with a nice combo FPV transmitter, the Q383 comes with a cheap plastic "toy-ish" radio.
Thanks to the...

Over the time Eachine became one of the most active player on the brushed drone market. They announce new modes like this Eachine Vtail QX110 almost every week.
