FQ777 FQ19W Pterosaur: First flying dinosaur drone

FQ777 FQ19W drone
Old guys like me probably still remember the famous Flintstones cartoons. The FQ777 FQ19W Pterosaur looks just like it came out from that movie.

Thanks to the built-in barometric air-pressure sensor, the drone is capable of autonomously maintaining its flight altitude. According to the manufacturer's...

FEILUN FX176C2 review: Always flies back to you

FEILUN FX176C2 review
Frankly, how could FeiLun expect to remember a drone name like "FX176C2". If copy/paste actions would have not exist, I could not write my FEILUN FX176C2 review :D Many toy drones claim to offer "One key Return to Home" feature. Without a Global Positioning System (GPS), this feature can't work accurate enough, practically the drone is just trying to guess...

Lieber Birdy 1060 FPV drone under $100
With a price tag of only $80 and included FPV monitor, the Lieber Birdy 1060 seems to be a good deal. According to the manufacture's specs, the Birdy-1060 has 3 flight modes, but it is not clearly specified if it refers to speed rates or real flight modes (like: Angle, Horizon and Acro). In order to make it safe for...

FQ777 FQ28 drone
Even if the EGG design does not seem to be too aerodynamic, lately many drones like the FQ777 FQ28 are revealed. It is even more strange that Christmas comes and not Easter :).

Full Speed Beebee-66 FPV drone: Born for indoor flights

Full Speed Beebee-66 FPV drone
In my opinion, even if the Full Speed Beebee-66 is very small, due to the powerful brush-less motors it is suitable only for experienced pilots. The integrated blade protectors offers some protection, but the 40 mm propellers still can do damages if they bump into something. Full Speed, announced the Beebee-66 with 3 type of radio receivers. According to your existing...

JDRC JD-20: “Poor” man’s Spark drone

JDRC JD20 drone quadcopter
Like many cheap Chinese drones, the JDRC JD-20 also copies the design of a DJI product. Same as the VISUO XS809HW, renting the design of the popular Mavic Pro, the JDRC JD20 wants to imitate the smaller Spark. Don't be fooled, even if the camera seems to be like the Spark one, it doesn't have a 2-axis gimbal and it offers only 720P...
