First Quadcopter

I have firstly read about the KaiDeng K130 ALPHA drone about two weeks ago. At that time, the egg design seemed like a stupid idea. Later I found it convenient that thanks to its compact size you can easily put it into your pocket. Thanks to the built-in barometric air-pressure sensor, the K130 Alpha quadcopter is capable to maintain autonomously its flight altitude. Unfortunately the on-board camera has...

Even Eachine advertises their new E51 as being the world's smallest "sElfie drone". They already have an even smaller model called E55 Mini. The Eachine E51 was announced in two variants (RTF and BNF). For extra 7$, the RTF package includes a nice extendable remote controller. When it comes to first-time pilots, certainly one of the most important feature of this selfie quad-copter...

VR-006 - Ultra compact and dirt cheap FPV glasses from Eachine Following the success of the VR-007, Eachine just announced a new even more compact FPV goggles called VR-006. Thanks to the Eachine VR006's AV-In plug, you can display alternatively the FPV signal from your drone and a second video signal from another source (like external VTX or directly connected TVL camera). In order to ensure...

Thanks to its small size, the LANCHI MONSTER drone is suitable for both indoor and outdoor flights. Anyway, due to the powerful brushless motors I recommend this mini FPV racer for indoor practice only for experienced pilots. Like many recent racing drones, the LANCHI MONSTER is also based on the versatile F4 flight controller. By default it comes with the popular...

Today I will review a super light VTX module for FPV drones. Weighting only 3.5g, the Eachine ATX03 is suitable for small-sized quadcopters. VTX modules are used to transmit the camera's video signal wirelessly. The most common frequency for FPV is 5.8Ghz. In order to allow the use of multiple VTXs in the same time (such as during a drone...

The LiDi RC L10 quadcopter is an upgraded version of the Eachine E010. While these two drones feature the same ducted propeller design, the LiDiRC L10 comes in addition with altitude-hold and Wi-Fi FPV. The manufacturer of the L10 drone decided to use APP control instead of a physical remote controller. This means that you will need a smartphone in order to...

Realacc 021 Lego alike, building bricks mini drone Lately I wrote about many building bricks drones but this Realacc 021 will be actually the first one that I personally build, review and test. I just placed my order and I'm waiting for it :) As I previously mentioned, the fact that a quadcopter comes in parts should not scare you. Especially that we are talking...

Brushless quadcopters aren't cheap, but the Eachine Racer 250 PRO comes at a surprisingly reasonable price of $129.99, considering its nice design and impressive features. Of course, like many budget FPV drones, there are Pros and Cons to the Racer 250 Pro which I'm planning to reveal during my review. The Eachine Racer 250 PRO drone was announced in two variants, PNP and RTF....

Syma, one of the most popular toy drone manufacturer, announced a new model called X21W. Featuring all the latest features and propeller protectors, the Syma X21W is suitable for beginner pilots. The Syma X21W is slightly smaller than the X20 and it has about the same design. The biggest difference between these two mini drones is the remote controller. While...

Frankly based on my good experience with the Tiny7, I was glad to hear that KingKong announces a similar sized micro drone with brushless motors. The Kingkong 95GT's lifting power is generated by four pieces of 1105-8500KV brushless motors. Thanks to the protective canopy and propeller protection frame, the KingKong 95GT quadcopter is ideal for outdoor as well for indoor flights. Newbies...
