First Quadcopter

Today we take a look at another mini racing quadcopter by Awesome. It seems the manufacturer has found another of its core-niches besides drone frames and propellers - the brushless micro racer market. The AWESOME MINI F100 is build on a 100mm carbon fiber frame and adopts the versatile Omnibus F3 flight controller with built-in OSD. On top of the frame...

A few months ago I received the Eachine QX110 V-Tail mini racer for review. First flights went smoothly, even after minor crashes it was flying like a new one. Courageously, I tried to do some flips in "Acro" mode and I landed upside down. Lots of smoke and fun was gone. Arrived home, I powered up the drone - one...

Quadcopters may be getting smaller and more affordable than ever, but few can say they are perfect. At first look, Eachine E31HW is a simple, easy-to-fly drone that is capable of taking photos and videos. Hopefully, at the end of my review, the list of pros will be longer than the list of cons. Eachine announced the E31 series in 3...

Foxeer's XAT600M classic FPV camera gets new skin and some extras. The upgraded Foxeer HS1177 V2 has a metal case and wider input voltage. To be trendy, the camera is available in 3 colors (orange, blue, and black). The First edition of the HS1177 camera, due to its low weight and good image quality has quickly become popular among professional FPV pilots...

Mola, a deluxe division of NineEagles, recently announced their first drone with an obstacle avoidance system. To allow easy transportation the arms of the MOLA TOURIST1 are foldable. At first sight, my biggest disappointment regarding the MOLA TOURIST 1 specification is the lack of 4k-UHD videos. Unfortunately, it supports only 1080p@60fps recording and 720p real-time image transmission (FPV). 3-axis brushless...

The Eachine TX01S camera is specially designed for mini FPV drones like the TinyWhoop where space and weight is critical. Due to its modular design, the TX01S VTX camera can also be successfully used on low-profile aircraft. At first look, except for the nice price tag, the most significant advantage of this combo camera over purchasing separately a camera and 5.8G VTX is...

While many drone camera manufacturers moved to cubic shape, Foxeer Legend 3 sees the return of the candybar form factor that Mobius debuted a few years ago. Don't be afraid, the old design is paired with UHD 4K video recording, which is a must-have in 2017. When it comes to racing quad-copters, it is very hard to find a proper...

After a long absence, Syma announced a new drone called X15W. Due to its small size, the Syma X15W quadcopter is suitable for both indoor and outdoor flights. In order to make safer the indoor flights, the manufacturer includes propeller guards. The integrated 0.3MP WiFi FPV camera allows to record videos as well as take still photos. While nothing is mentioned...

The SwellPro Splash Drone 3 doesn’t just fly, it can also float and film underwater. Both 2-axis gimbal and 4K cameras can be immersed in water, allowing them to record incredible footage below the water's surface. The dream of any fisherman :D When flying over a lake, I'm always afraid of what happens if the drone falls into the water....

Frankly, I got bored by this fidget spinner madness. It seems a stupid toy compared to this Linxtech 1603. Everyone who tested a mini drone knows that they are full of fun. You can play with them indoor and outdoor as well. As you can see in the image above that the Linxtech 1603 copies the design of the much expensive Tiny...
