First Quadcopter

Thanks to its meshed protective case, the DHD D3 looks like the first drone in the jail :) Joking aside, the DHD D3 quadcopter seems to be specially designed for first-time pilots. The full protective case allows 100% safe indoor flights. Anyway, in my opinion the extra weight of the frame must have some negative impact on the flight performance. While the DHD D3 was announced...

Surly for nearly 800 bucks, the Amimon Falcore HD is not the cheapest racing quadcopter. Checking the specs, I found out that the hefty price comes from the FPV system. The CONNEX ProSight HD Vision Kit (professional delay-free FPV) costs itself $399. The Connex Falcore 8-CH transmitter equipped with the ProSight VTX looks pretty high-end. In order to allow excellent reception quality, the...

Tiny cameras that can fly still seemed like a sci-fi dream just a few years ago, but with Eachine's new E55 quadcopter, the future has arrived, and it's dirt cheap. Cheap flying cameras like Eachine E55 are very often called "Selfie drones", but this is a bit exaggerated. The truth is that you can't buy anything under $500 in compliance...

RunCam 3 - worth to buy alternative for the GoPro Session 5? When the RunCam 3 was rumored I had a mixed filing regarding this camera. I don't know if it was a smart movement from the manufacturer to announce in 2017 a camera without 4K capability. I contacted RC to request a free sample in order to review the RunCam 3 camera. Frankly they...

Blade Torrent 110 - Micro brushless quadcopter with ducted propellers  It seems that the "Whoop Mania" is invading also the brushless word. Blade recently announced their first Tiny Whoop alike brushless mini quad called Torrent 110 FPV. The Blade Torrent 110 is a powerful and versatile micro FPV racer that is ideal for outdoor flights as well as for indoor ones. The ducted protectors will prevent damaging...

Storm SRD280 V4 with BeeRotor BRF3 flight controller While I was looking for a professional racing quadcopter I came across the HeliPal's Storm SRD280 (aka RoboCat). The 4th generation of the Storm SRD280 racing drone comes with the same beautiful design (as its predecessors) but with better flight controller and upgraded propulsion system (motors, ESCs and propellers). The protective canopy of the Storm SRD280...

Eachine E011 - cheap quadcopter with extra fun Lately, many drone manufactures try to combine the fun of drones with Lego bricks. The Eachine E011 comes with a brick plate instead of a regular cockpit, which allows to attach the included Lego Nexo Nights alike figure on top of the drone. The Eachine E011 mini quadcopter is announced in two color combinations: black and...

Eachine VR-007 Pro FPV Video Headset for less than $40 Last week, Eachine announced a new upgraded version of their cheapest FPV goggles called, the Eachine VR007 Pro. Curiously, even if we talk about an improved model, the "Pro" version will cost less than its predecessor. This attractive price tag will be definitely appreciated by the Tiny Whoop pilots. The VR007Pro FPV headplay is built around...

Foxeer Box 4k camera with GoPro Session design Although I find the "Mobius" design much proper for quadcopters, it seems that all major drone camera manufacturers move to cubic design. Like GoPro Hero, this new Foxeer Box 4k comes with the same compact cubic shape (40 x 40 x 40mm). Compared to its predecessor (Legend 1), the Foxeer Box 4k camera offers much higher...

Walkera Furious 215 with Mainstream F3 flight controller Walkera just announced their second generation of Furious racing quadcopters. This new model has a much smaller size (215mm instead of 320mm). At first look, thanks to the black carbon fiber frame and red propellers, the Walkera Furious 215 has a very professional design. In front of the aircraft is located a 600TVL camera with angle...
