DJI Phantom 3 price drop
A few days ago, at CES, was announced a new DJI model, the new Phantom 3 4k. Everyone, including myself, expected that they will come out with something totally new. We all wanted to see a new DJI Phantom 4 with obstacle avoidance, smartwatch control, and other high-end features.
The latest DJI model from the Phantom 3 series comes with a...

JJRC H25G quadcoper with FPV camera
JJRC H25G first person view quadcopter
Frankly, it is already hard to count how many quadcotper models JJRC released in 2015. They announced even in the last week of the year two more quadcopter series, the H25 and H29. I will focus in this article on the JJRC H25G which seems for me to be the most interesting of them.
This...

Now that Santa has brought everyone the wished quadcopter let's see what we could wish for next year :). This JYU Hornet S seems to be the ideal gift as it is an all-in-one concept. It comes with a 3-axis brushless gimbal, 12 MP camera, and FPV goggles.
I've just read that, beginning with 2016, in the US, everyone who...

ROA Parkour 280 Racer quadcopter
ROA Parkour 280 racing quadcopter with foldable arms
Frankly, I never heard before anything about the manufacturer of the ROA Parkour 280 racer quadcopter, but I'm already used with more and more "players" entry on the market. This is good because this way the price of the RC products are going down.
Last weekend I had my first flights with a truly racing quadcopter,...
FLYPRO XEagle Professional Quadcopter
FLYPRO XEagle with 4K camera and xWatch
Lately I read that many quadcopter manufacturers started to develop obstacle avoidance. This FLYPRO XEagle seems to be the first consumer grade quadcopter which adopts this high-end feature. With a built-in infrared photoelectric sensor can detect obstacles from 10cm up to 15meters and avoid collisions. I'm very curious to see the first test videos of this features.

WST Shuttle-280 racing quadcopter
Looking at the images with this WST Shuttle-280 racing quad, I don't know why, I have the impression of a"flying pig" :D. Although the fully enclosed design seems to be a good idea because it will protect the components in case of crash-lands.
Thanks to the 1-axis gimbal, the tilt angle of the frontal camera can be adjusted remotely. This way the operator can set...
JJRC H6W WIFI first person view quadcopter
JJRC H6W FPV quadcopter with headless mode
When I purchased my first quadcopter, few of my friends asked me about the quality of the camera and if it's capable for FPV flights. It seems these two factors are very important features for newbies. This new JJRC H6W quadcopter comes with a 2MP camera and WIFI real time image transmission. During my experience I have not...
Kylin KF-250 racing quadcopter
Kylin KF-250 first person view racer
Just published my Runner 250 Advance review and already have my eye on another racing quadcopter, the Kylin KF-250. Built around the CC3D flight controller, it can be a very serious competitor on its segment.
As I mentioned many times, racing quadcopters are full of fun but, in my opinion, there are suitable only for advanced pilots.
Unlike the previously mentioned...
Yuxiang 668 A3 quadcopter with camera
Yuxiang 668 A3 Quad with headless mode
When I sow the first images with this Yuxiang 668 A3 Quadcotper I thought we are dealing with another Syma clone. The design of the airframe, landing legs and propeller guards seems to be almost identical. The remote controllers also very similar, the only difference is that the Yuxiang 668 A3's one has a sticker instead of the status display.
The...
