First Quadcopter

Last week I was contacted to review this JJRC H47 Elfie Plus, but lately being quite busy I said pass. Anyway, I thought that at least in the news section I should say a few words about this nice selfie drone. Following the incredible success of the H37 Elfie, JJR/C recently announced this upgraded model with one-hand G-sensor controller and a...

When it comes to FPV flights, additional devices like this Black Box DVR are required to record the journey of your flights. In order to keep latency at lowest value possible, FPV cameras does not offer recording feature. You have two options to record your FPV flights with the Black Box Micro D1M DVR. One is to split the camera's video-out...

Having a thickness of just 9.5 mm, we can say easily that the Eachine E57 is one of the thinnest selfie drone on the market. The transmitter is also very thin, it measures only 1.8 cm. Additional to the innovative design, the Eachine E57 drone  comes with all the latest features. Thanks to the barometric air-pressure sensor, the aircraft is...

Advertised for $50, the FuriBee H801 is surely not the cheapest drone with ducted propellers, especially that it comes with a "basic" flight controller not a customizable one like the F3 or F4. The large blade protectors not just that should offer improved efficiency of the propellers but also makes the aircraft very safe for children. The ducted propellers can’t produce major...

Swift is a new GPS drone that was recently announced by the Chinese manufacturer Tovsto. Available in two variants (1080p or 720p camera), the Tovsto Swift seems to be a great alternative for the Hubsan H501S. Of course, only if adopts brush-less-motors, which is not certain to me yet. In order to allow accurate positioning, Tovsto Swift drone features both GPS and GLONASS. Through...

Kopis 1 is a high-performance and ultra-durable FPV racing quadcopter from Holybro. Its low-profile design allows centralized weight which means excellent stability. Holybro Kopis 1 features a "Stretched-X" motor layout, highly adopted by professional racing drones. This approach eliminates the influence ("dirty air") of the rear propellers over the front blades. Build around the Holybro Kakute F4 all-in-on flight controller, the...

GTENG T908W it is advertised as to be a DIY quadcopter but, if you ask me, it is more like a modular drone. You don't need to solder or something like this, just put together the main parts and you are ready to fly. In my opinion, the fact that a drone can be easily split into parts should not...

With 1280 x 720 pixels, the TOPSKY F7X FPV goggle claims that features the highest resolution on the FPV glasses market. The HD image quality is paired with a premium design. Thanks to the HDMI input, this FPV goggle can be used not just for first person view flights but also to watch your favorite movies from an external media player....

After the Cheerson CX-OF, here is another toy drone with optical flow sensor called: Flying3D FY919. Optical sensor combined with air-pressure sensor allows perfectly stable hovering. At first look, the design of the Flying3D FY919 Reaper reminds me about a hover drone from the Avatar movie. It features similar caged propellers, which makes it suitable for safe indoor flights. In order to allow...

Building brick drones like this Flytec T11S doubles the fun. In my opinion there is no kid that never have played with a Lego - it was my son's favorite toy too for few years. The Flytec T11S DIY drone comes in parts and needs to be assembled by yourself. All the electronic components come with connectors, so no soldering required. Compared to...
