First Quadcopter

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....

As autumn is already knocking at the door, micro racing drones like this AWESOME MINI BOBI X115 are just perfect for some indoor practice. Based on the versatile Omnibus F3 Flight controller, the AWESOME MINI BOBI X115 can be configured with multiple flight modes. While newbies can accommodate with the basic flight movements on Angle mode, experienced pilots can have fun on...

Built from eye-catching purple carbon fiber, the FuriBee Nebula 230 is not just beautiful but also very durable. Although FuriBee is a relatively new drone brand, they announced only this year at least eight brush-less quad-copters and couple of other brushed toy drones. Based on the versatile Omnibus F4 flight controller, the FuriBee Nebula 230 drone features multiple flight modes. While self-level modes...

Personally, I have mixed fillings regarding brushed GPS drones like this X183GPS. I'm not sure that it would worth thickening so much technologies into quad-copters with a weak point like brushed motors. Anyway, for only $150, the X183GPS quadcopter with complete FPV system seems to be a great deal. Thanks to the GPS positioning system, the X183GPS features precise hovering and orbit...

These days, everyone has at least one smartphone in their pocket which could be used as 5.8G FPV monitor among this Eachine R051 android FPV receiver. Of course if latency is not critical. Because in my opinion these smartphone FPV receivers are not fast as dedicated 5.8G displays. Eachine R051 is compatible with both popular mobile operating systems. There is...

Maybe the Eachine E013 doesn't feature a versatile flight controller as the TW, but with the included FPV monitor the fun is guaranteed. At a glance, the biggest improvement of the E013 compared to its predecessors is the 5.8G FPV camera. While WiFi FPV is used on most of toy-grade drones, 5.8G FPV is highly adopted by professional racing quadcopters....

Compared to basic FPV glasses, the DJI Goggles comes with up to 1080P video resolution, Head Tracking, revolutionary OcuSync wireless transmission and lots of other top notch features. The DJI Goggles was specially designed for the Mavic Pro and Phantom 4 series but, through HDMI, can be also used with other flying and not-flying gadgets. While most of the racing FPV drones...

Just a few days have passed since we reviewed the T13, and we're here again to introduce you to another Flytec drone, a much more versatile one. Flytec Navi T23 comes with powerful brushless motors and a dual GPS positioning system. On front of the aircraft is located a 1080P camera which allows to record aerial videos as well as...

At first look, due to its large fuselage and silky sliding-arms, the GDU O2 Plus looks like a flying brick :). Instead of folding arms that leave the propulsion system exposed, during carry, the design of the GDU O2 Plus hide the propellers and motors inside the body. In order to allows perfectly stable hovering capability, the dual GPS position system is enhanced...

To bring something new to the selfie drone market, the Flytec T13 adopts half-reversed propellers. On the front, the propellers are as usual (above the arms), but on rear, they are orientated to the ground (under the arms). Yesterday, one of my friends suggested that it would be more helpful for my readers to write some drone-buying guides than to...
