First Quadcopter

After long absence, Hubsan is back with a compact racing quad-copter called H122D X4 Storm. Being a new model, there is a bit chaos regarding the exact features of the Hubsan H122D. Hubsan announced the H122D Storm in two variants. Basic package without fpv display and a deluxe package with included 4.3" FPV monitor and compatible FPV goggle. Based on my experience...

As lately most of the drones can be purchased in BNF package (without RC), multi-protocol transmitters like the Jumper T8SG can save you lots of money and space. Why should you buy every drone with its own remote controller when you already have one compatible with most of the popular radio protocols. Jumper T8SG Multi-Protocol is the first commercially manufactured transmitter...

Like I promised last week, here I am with the next Drocon drone, the Cyclone X708W. Compared to the Bugs 6, the Drocon Cyclone X708W is a basic model with brushed models and limited functionalities. When it comes to beginners I suggest not to invest a lot of money into something they can crash at first flight. Sold for only $55,...

Today I will review the Walkera Rodeo 110, a micro-scale brushless FPV quadcopter. Compared to larger FPV drones, the Rodeo 110 is suitable for outdoor as well as for indoor flights. While doing some research for my Walkera Rodeo 110 review, I read somewhere that its camera is capable of recording HD videos, which is a big lie. To keep...

Every year large numbers of Southern Right Whales travel from the Antarctic to the warmer Walker Bay off the coast of South Africa to calve and mate. Located about an hour and a half out of Cape Town, Hermanus is one of the best whale watching spots in the world, welcoming dozens of these gentle ocean creatures each year. As...

Honestly, about the "Drocon" brand I heard for the first time one week ago. Besides the Bugs 6, they have couple of other nice drones. The following weeks I want to introduce you the most exciting ones in our news section. At first look, the DROCON Bugs 6 quadcopter is an intermediate step for those who want to migrate from toy drones to...

After a long absence, Wingsland returns with their first wannabe racing drone called X1. Honestly, adopting WiFi FPV, the WINGSLAND X1 is far away to be a real FPV racing quadcopter. In order to allow perfectly stable indoor flights, the Wingsland X1 features, besides the barometric air-pressure sensor, an optical flow sensor. Under the belly of the fuselage is locate an extension...

Measuring about only 4.9 x 6.2 x 3 cm, the S9W drone is one of the smallest foldable drone. The small size is paired with an attractive design and all the latest features. Thanks to the built-in air-pressure sensor, the aircraft is capable to autonomously maintain its flight altitude. This feature is very handy for first-time pilots. In front of the...

Like me, probably everyone wants to be the "cool guy" which offers the best Christmas gifts. These days, toy drones became affordable and widely available, also very popular among the kids. Honestly, being a parent, I prefer to give my child a drone with which he can play outside rather than a video game that keeps him in the...

DIY does not necessarily mean cheap. For the price of Fighter 220 you can find really nice ready-to-fly (RTF) racing quadcopters. Anyway, in my opinion, building your own drone doubles the fun and also makes you understand how these flying machines work. Like most of the modern racing drones, the Fighter 220 is also based on the versatile F4 flight controller....
