Skyartec FREE X Skyview: GPS quadcopter with gimbal
I accidentally came across this FREE X Skyview quadcopter from Skyartec. It was launched on the beginning of 2014 and, unfortunately, it was removed suddenly from some online shops. There are two possible reasons it was removed from the market: it has some hidden issues or it's a 100% clone of another branded quadcopter.
The Free X SkyView is a versatile...
Eachine Goggles One
Eachine Goggles One - Cheap HD FPV glasses
Compared to its predecessor, this new Eachine Goggles Ones glasses is a more versatile FPV model. With built-in 5.8G 40CH receiver it can be paired easily with many racing quadcopters.
Unlike the Eachine VR-007 goggles which had a low resolution display, this new model comes with a quality display. Frankly, the only thing that stopped me from...
Foxeer Box 4k Superview quadcopter camera
Foxeer Box 4k camera with GoPro Session design
Although I find the "Mobius" design much proper for quadcopters, it seems that all major drone camera manufacturers move to cubic design. Like GoPro Hero, this new Foxeer Box 4k comes with the same compact cubic shape (40 x 40 x 40mm).
Compared to its predecessor (Legend 1), the Foxeer Box 4k camera offers much higher...
FLYPRO Xjaguar fast and furious racing quad
As recently many racer quadcopters including this FLYPRO Xjaguar were announced with flight speeds up to 200 km/s, I'm curious what is the highest speed that physically can be achieved with such toys.
Till now I had the chance to review only one FlyPro product, the Xeagle Sport watch-controlled selfie drone. It proved to be a nice and unique quadcopter (at that time).
The FLYPRO Xjaguar racer...
JJRC H9D FPV Quad
JJRC H9D First Person View Quadcopter with HD camera
Just found this new 5.8Ghz FPV quad from JJRC. Today was listed on one of the biggest online store for only $99.99. Unfortunately they didn't rumored anything about the flight range, FPV range or flight time.
The JJRC RC toy manufacturer recently launched many successful models and slowly becomes a familiar name in the world quadcopters.
To guaranty the quality...
UDI U839 Nano: A cute drone for kids
On the first look the UDI U839 Nano quadcopter seems to be an Hubsan H111 Q4 (Proto X) clone.
I’ve been playing before with other tiny quadcopters like the UDI U839. I think I will order and test how it flies this little quadcopter, as my 4 years old son keeps asking me to buy him such a toy.
Checking the manufactures home page, the U839 Nano looks well protected (in...
DFD F183 with HD camera
DFD F183 or JJRC H8C - same quadcopter under different brand
Looking for a new quadcopter that will be a good replacement to my dead quad, I found this DFD F183 (a.k.a. JJRC H8C).
These two quadopters has the same design and same specs but they have different prices. The DFD F183 quadcopter has the higher price. Probably they tested the market for the optimal price.
I think that only after few weeks we...
Flying 3D X6: Cheapest GPS quadcopter in 2014
If you want to move from toy-graded quadcopters to something more versatile, but your budget is limited, the Flying 3D X6 will probably be the first option. This quadcopter is the only GPS model under $200.
The size of this Flying3D X6 is visibly smaller than its bigger brother Flying 3D X8, and also has a shorter flight time. The short...
Eachine Goggles Two FPV glasses with HDMI
Eachine Goggles Two with 5" LCD and built-in 40CH video receiver
Eachine just announced an upgraded version of the popular Googles One. The newer Eachine Goggles Two promise better cooling management and much comfortable usage. Unfortunately, like its predecessor, it will not feature built-in DVR.
In order to allow optimal signal reception, the Eachine Goggles Two comes with two 5.8G antennas (mushroom and...
Smart Drone SMD Red Arrow FPV quadcopter
SMD Red Arrow Racing quadcopter with FPV transmitter
Frankly, excepting the nice foldable design, this SMD Red Arrow Racing didn't convinced me. Especially that it costs more than 300 bucks.
Although the product name includes the word "Racing", I would categorize this quadcopter more as an all-in-one quadcopter for beginners.
The SMD Red Arrow comes with a complete 5.8G first person view system (FPV). You can opt...
Hubsan H501S X4 quadcopter with GPS
A few weeks ago I was asked by one of my partners whether I'm interested to review the Hubsan H501S X4 quadcopter. Although I really liked the eye-catching design I refused him and I opted for another model.
In my opinion, designing a micro brushless quadcopter with a GPS positioning system is a great idea. I think that through this...
