September's quadcopter reviews on www.firstquadcopter.com
I'm planning to have an entertaining beginning of autumn testing two new quadcopter models and one gimbal, before the closing of outdoor flying season. I'm very curious regarding the XK Detect X380 model which will be my first GPS quadcopter that I test. I also plans to equip it with a brushless gimbal and a camera to make some quality...
HiSKY HMX280 racing quadcopter
Looking at the pictures with the HISKY HMX280 racing Quad we may think that we are dealing with a waterproof aircraft, but attention, this quadcopter is NOT waterproof at all!
The designers from HiSKY have done a good job when they engineered this model. The overall look of this racer is definitely different from the one other multi-rotors have and inspires "SPEED". Unfortunately, the airframe...
Keyshare Glint GPS Quad
Keyshare Glint latest GPS FPV quadcotper
Through my FirstQuadcopter FaceBook page I found from Meihong Pan about this Keyshare Glint quadcopter. On the first look it seems to be a very promising quadcopter and a fearless alternative of the DJI Phantom series. This model will be available in at least 3 different packages, the base package will include only the Keyshare Glint with the remote controller. The most expensive deluxe...
Eachine H8 3D Mini Quad
Eachine H8 3D Mini with up-side-down flight mode
This Eachine H8 3D Mini is an upgraded version of the word's cheapest quadcopter the H8 Mini. The main new feature of this model is the inverted flight mode, which is interesting but also costs. The price of the H8 3D Mini qudcopter is almost double compared to the older model. To be more attractive, this new...

SHENGKAI D97 WIFI quadcopter
Another X5C clone was just listed on many online RC stores, the SHENGKAI D97 with a 2MP Wi-Fi first-person view camera. The design of these two quadcopters is almost identical, but they use a completely different remote controller.
The biggest advantage of the SHENGKAI D97 quadcopter is the 2MP first-person view camera that can be connected to any iOS and...
JD168 quadcopter with HD camera
JD168 quadcopter with Headless mode and RTH
This JD168 quadcopter looks exactly like the JJRC H8C, which was a very popular model, also called the "Syma killer". The biggest disadvantage of that model was the 7.4 battery that burned out prematurely the quadcopter's motors. On the D168 model this issue was corrected by replacing the 7.4v battery with a 3.7v one.
Another difference compared to...

I just received my Syma X8W from BG but it has to rest in the box until next week when I will have enough time to review it.
Until then I thought it would be useful to watch some movies with this Quadcopter, to know what I can expect.
The video below covers the main...

Summer's quadcopter reviews on www.firstquadcopter.com
Being a Syma fan, I could not skip to test at least one model of the latest X8 series. Banggood already sent it to me and probably will arrive within two weeks. As soon as I get it and test it few times I will write my review. I want to compare it side by side with the Tarantula X6, that I...
PiPo QW 350 GPS FPV quadcopter
QW GPS first person view quadcopter
Chinese guys are pretty good to clone quad-copters and other electronic devices, but they have a big issue in naming the products. For example, this new quadcopter looks very good and it has some decent features, but frankly what chances they have to make a successful promotion for a product with names like: "QW quadcopter" or "PiPo QW quadcopter"?
The design of...
