I've just read that, beginning with 2016, in the US, everyone who...
RunCam 3 HD FPV quadcopter camera
RunCam 3 - worth to buy alternative for the GoPro Session 5?
When the RunCam 3 was rumored I had a mixed filing regarding this camera. I don't know if it was a smart movement from the manufacturer to announce in 2017 a camera without 4K capability.
I contacted RC to request a free sample in order to review the RunCam 3 camera. Frankly they...

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.

Ideafly Grasshopper F210 with insane flight speed
Regarding racing quadcopters, my first question is "What is the highest achievable speed". Frankly, before this Ideafly Grasshopper F210 drone, I had never heard about flight speeds above 200 Km/h. Most of the racers that I reviewed till now had maximum speeds around "only" 100 km/h, and for me, it was tough to control them at their top speed. Think...
Cheerson CX-10D with altitude hold
Cheerson CX-10D world's smallest quadcopter with barometric sensor
Looking for the latest quadcopter news I found out that Cheerson Hobby have just released their newest micro drone, the CX-10D with altitude hold.
This Cheerson CX-10D is the fourth generation of the CX-10 series. Unlike its predecessors (CX-10C and CX-10W), it doesn't have a camera, which is probably the biggest drawback of this new model.
Thanks...

ASUAV RS220 Awesome FPV Racer
Permeants ASUAV RS220 racing quadcopter with FPV camera
As we are in late winter, it is time to switch from indoor drones to outdoor FPV racing drones like this Awesome ASUAV RS220.
When it comes to first-time pilots, speed is not everything, they need durable drones. Based on my experience, carbon-fiber frames has better chance to survive nasty crashes than nylon ones. Thanks...

Eachine Falcon 120 ultra-compact FPV quadcopter
Eachine Falcon 120 tiny micro FPV racing drone
Slowly Eachine slowly becomes one of the most popular racing quadcopter manufacturer. They announce new models almost every month. The Eachine Falcon 120 is currently their smallest brushless model.
Although has a small size (120mm) I will recommend it for indoor flights only for experienced pilots. The powerful brushless motors can produce serious damages.
The...

This is a great feature especially if you want to use your quad for aerial filming.
Taking into consideration the design of the i8H I...
