First Quadcopter

For less than 200 bucks, the JJRC JJPRO X5 EPIK drone features a GPS positioning system, barometric altitude hold, intelligent flight modes, and a full HD camera with a 1-axis mechanical gimbal. As designed, the JJRC X5 is almost identical to the MJX Bugs 5W. It adopts a similar fuselage and high landing gears. Even the propellers seem to be the...

Recently, one of my friends asked me about the recipe for the BEST FPV Drone. At first glance, it seems that Excelvan X218S has all the main ingredients. It features a robust 3K carbon fiber frame, high-quality FPV camera, long-range VTX, powerful 2500KV brushless motors, and a versatile F4 flight controller with BetaFlight OSD. In order to be ready for...

Like many cheap Chinese quadcopters, the FQ777 FQ40 also copies the design of a DJI drone. Like the Eachine E58, renting the design of the popular Mavic Pro, the FQ777 FQ40 wants to imitate the newer Mavic Air. It adopts similar design lines and colors. In front, instead of the collision avoidance sensors, it has two LED lights. FQ777 released...

Let's see what makes a kids drone friendly. Firstly it must be very safe and secondly needs to be easy to control. At first sight seems like JJRC H56 TaiChi meets both criteria, furthermore it is extremely affordable. The Tiny Whoop alike blade protectors make the little drone very safe when accidentally bumps into something or someone. Thanks to the infrared sensing...

LDARC (ex. KingKong) just announced a new professional grade FPV racing drone, called KK 5GT. In order to offer excellent durability, the LDARC KK 5GT is build on a solid 5mm carbon fiber frame. It has true-X design and 213mm wheelbase. During crashes, the on-board Runcam Swift Mini camera is well protected by a aluminium alloy frame. The versatile F4 flight controller...

After many Eachine and Syma reviews, we are finally here with a MJX drone review. As its name says, the Bugs 3 Pro is an ungraded version of the first-generation Bugs 3. In addition to the reinvented design it comes with plenty of new cool features (GPS, Altitude hold, Headless mode and Fail-safe RTH). Both, flight time and control...

After flying dozens of drones around the sky, I found mini FPV drones like the FullSpeed FSD Leader 3 the most enjoyable flying machines. Their are fast, offers live-video streaming to your FPV goggles and not least are pretty affordable. The FullSpeed Leader 3 is available only in PNP package (no battery, charger, receiver & transmitter), hence you will need to use...

Surely, the E58 is the most popular toy drone from Eachine. I loved it from the first flight. It has pretty cool Mavic alike design and excellent flight performance. Unfortunately, after few crashes the fun has gone. A broken arm, blocked motor or missing propeller can make you throw it into the trash can. Luckily, Eachine offers good aftermarket support,...

Bugs 2 (B2W & B2C), Bugs 3 (B3, B3H, B3Mini & B3Pro), Bugs 5W, Bugs 8 (B8 & B8Pro) and the latest member of the family is the series 10 with Bugs 10H, which seems to...

Featuring a 1080p camera, up to 18 minute battery life, SH7 aims to set the standard for entry level drones. Thanks to the barometric air-pressure sensor, the drone is capable to autonomously maintain its flight altitude allowing to be easily controlled even by kids. When...
