First 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...

To help my readers find the best drone for their budget, I recently created the "Drones by Price" section on FirstQuadcopter. I thought it would be also helpful to share some great drone savings. Especially that 11.11 will be next weekend and usually it comes with huge drone discounts. Probably Double Eleven is the world’s second most expected day for...

When it comes to design, drone manufacturers always try to surprise us. A good example is the Eachine Q90C, which copies a flying frog. Don't be afraid; even if the fuselage is transparent, you will see through only electronic parts, not anatomic organs :D Eachine announced the Q90C FlyingFrog in two variants: with and without FPV goggles. Surely, for the...

Every time I review a drone, I try to find a sentence that would define it the best. I think in case of HOLYBRO KOPIS 1, "Don't stay on its way!" fits just perfectly. Made of 5 mm thick carbon fiber and reaching insane flight speeds I would not want to be hit by this beast. Surely, this Kopis 1 quadcopter is...

As the winter is already knocking on the door, it's time to reorient us from big drones to some more compact ones that are capable of indoor flying. With wheelbase of 95mm the FuriBee QAV95 seems perfect for outdoor flights as well as indoors fun. Biggest advantage of the FuriBee QAV95 over the popular TinyWhoop is that adopts brush-less motors instead of...

At first sight, the DROCON Blue Bugs with reliable brushless motors seems to be one of the best drone under $200 for GoPro and alike action cameras. Doing some research, I found some pretty nice aerial footage using the Blue Bugs and various action cameras (like: SJCam, Xiaomi and GitUp). Cheap cameras are OK, but honestly, the lack of GPS positioning...

As in 2017 the favorites under $100 were the selfie drones, I think in 2018 it will be the ones with GPS positioning system like this JJRC H55 Tracker. In addition to the common features (like headless mode and alt-hold), the JJRC H55 has precise GPS assisted one key return to home aka RTH. From now on you don't need to...

All kidding aside, even if it's ultra-thin, the Eachine E57 probably will not be able to sneak under any door. When it's folded, the thickness of the fuselage is below 1 cm, but you know it is very hard to fly this way :). With motors in the flight position, the height of the E57 is about 28 mm. Toy-grade...

Following the great success of the H37 sElfie drone, JJRC announced a more compact version with innovative one-handed gyro control. The newer generation JJRC H37 Mini Baby Elfie is about 2 cm shorter and 16 grams lighter than its predecessor. While the first generation of Elfie drones featured only APP control, the Mini Baby Elfie comes with dual control mode...

Lately, most of the toy drone manufactures began to introduce more and more strange concepts: flying Eggs, Cubes, Christmas threes but, no flying pizzas - why? :D. Adopting "Rocket" shape design, the JJRC H51 seems like to be one of them. Although at first look you could find attractive the design of JJRC H51 Rocket, I don't understood its purpose. It...
