JJRC 1000A micro quadcopter
The JJRC 1000A quadcopter is one of the smallest and the cheapest micro quadcopter on the market.
This multi-rotor is really small and cute, nearly a palm size. It's only 12cm x 12cm and 2.5cm in height.
Equipped with colorful LED lights, this RC quadcopter is quite shining and colorful when it's flying in the dark and the lights are on.
Before the first flight you...
MJX X101 big quadcopter
Initially, I started my journey with small and mid-sized drones because they were affordable and bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. As the price of full sized (350mm) quadcopters is decreasing, they become popular and accessible to everyone.
This new MJX X101 quadcopter looks like a direct competitor to the Tarantula X6 (the flying spider) which was my first big-sized quad and I...

Story of my first drone flyaway
All about drone quadcopter flyaway
Probably few of U will ask, what does it mean "flyaway". Frankly, is one of the ugliest things that could happen with your favorite quadcopter. When flyaway occurs you totally loose the control of the drone and it will fly away from you in one direction or chaotically changing its flight path. I read somewhere that the quad...
Huanqi H899 cheap quadcopter for GoPro
Huanqi H899 quadcopter for aerial filming
Just returned from my one week holiday I started to look for new quadcopters and I came across this Huanqi H899 drone.
The manufacturer advertises this model to be powerful enough to lift GoPro and alike action cameras. Of course, this can be possible but frankly I would not have the confidence to hang my $ 450 GoPro Hero...
Cheerson CX-33W with WIFI control
I first read about this CX-33W a few weeks ago and because of its unique design, it was hard for me to tag it. It has only 3 arms instead of 4, as usual for quadcopters, so I should call it a tri-copter? No, it is not that simple because it has motors and propellers on each side of the...

DJI Spark vs DJI Mavic: Worth to “downgrade”
Last week, most of the drone related publications were invaded with the leaked images of the DJI Spark drone.
DJI's new drone is also called by the enthusiasts the "Mavic Mini".
With Yuneec Breeze and other compact portable drones sold under $500, this new DJI quadcopter has to be priced at a similar level in order for them to cover this market segment too. Frankly, I'm very exited about this...
My first GPS quadcopter
My first GPS quadcopter - CX-20, X350Pro or DJI Phantom 2
Last year I purchased my first quadcopter, it was the X5C from Syma. At that time I wanted something cheap to learn how to fly with multi-rotors. After almost one year of usage I can say that it was a good choice. Quickly I moved to other cheap models like the...
Cheerson CX-22
Cheerson CX-22 the most expected quadcopter of 2015
Looking for my first GPS quadcopter I found out about this new Cheerson CX-22 multi-rotor. Its launching was just announced on some quadcopter blogs.
One of my option for my first GPS quad was the older CX-20 because it has the most attractive price on the market. After I read about this new model I decided to wait for it.
Today I contacted my favorite online...
Autel Robotics X-Star Premium quadcopter
I'm probably the only one who thinks this X-Star Premium from Autel Robotics looks like a rebranded Phantom quadcopter. In my opinion it has very similar features and specs with the PH3 4K model.
For sure, adding a small status LCD screen to the X-Star's transmitter was a great idea. The dedicated take-off/land button is another useful feature of the remote controller.
In order to allow...
