First Quadcopter

Frankly, even after I double checked the technical specs of the JJRC H69 drone, I'm still confused. The advertising shows "5.8G Real-time transmission", but the detailed production descriptions says "Up to 60 meters of transmission distance, you can fly the drone, let the drone take aerial footage, and then watch the streaming images or videos, clear and sharp directly...

As its name says, the Reptile CLOUD-149 is based on a 149mm size carbon fiber frame. Thanks to its Whoop alike blade protectors it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor flights. You have red and black color options for the blade diversion ring. In addition to the on-board 1200TVL camera, you can install a second GoPro style DVR camera....

Diatone, one of the most popular racing drone manufacturer just announced 4 new Toothpick style FPV racing drones. While the GTB229 and GTB239 are built on 105mm size frame and are suitable for 2.5 inch propellers, the GTB329 and GTB339 features 120mm wheelbase and 3" blades. Another major difference between them is the power source. The GTB229 and GTB329...

While most micro Whoops already switched to 4K cameras like the Caddx Tarsier, larger 5 inch drones as the iFlight Nazgul5 are still designed for GoPro style action cameras. iFlight announced their Nazgul5 FPV quadcopter with two power options. While 4S variant comes with 2450KV motors, 6S edition with 1700KV ones. Both versions are built on the same 227mm size...

Back in 2017, the first generation of RunCam Split camera was considered a true game-changer product on the FPV market. Now, they are planning to release two new FPV cameras based on the same concept, but with a much smaller size. While the RunCam Split 3 Micro measures 19 x 19mm, the RunCam Split 3 Nano only 14 x...

Today we will have a closer look on VIFLY's DJI battery charger called PowerUltimate. This tiny aluminium box allows to charge your DJI drone battery right on the field. It is compatible with most consumer DJI drones (Mavic and Phantom series) - even with their smallest drone. As DJI does not offer a dedicated car charger for the little...

FPV cameras like the Hawkeye Firefly Split 4K are very practical due to their freedom of installation. While the small (19mm×19mm) lens module can be installed on tight cockpits, the DVR module can be stacked with the other electronic parts. Like the Caddx Tarsier 4K, the Firefly Split 4K is also capable to record UHD videos with 30 frames per...

After long absence, XK came up with a new Phantom alike GPS enabled drone called "X1". Compared to its predecessors (read our review here: DETECT X380), the XK X1 has a much professional look. It is completely white (vs black) and adopts two bridge type landing gears instead of 4 independent landing legs (which breaks quite often, BTW). The 1080P...

Although the second generation Foxeer MIX 2 FPV camera promises better FPV quality, higher definition recording and lower latency, the raw specs does not show too much differences compared to its predecessor. Both provide only 1080@60FPS recording. Anyway, in my opinion, since the launch of Caddx Tarsier 4K it is very hard to bring something truly interesting on the FPV...

Following the great success of the Snapper7 and Mobula7, Happymodel recently released another micro-class FPV drone called Sailfly-X. Thanks to its ultralight 105 mm frame and powerful KV9000 brush-less motors it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor flights. Like other "toothpick" FPV drones, the Happymodel Sailfly-X is also based on the versatile Crazybee F4 PRO flight controller. According to...
