First Quadcopter

J.ME Follow Me selfie drone from Feima Robotics Feima Robotics, an unknown multi-rotor manufacturer, just announced their first selfie drone, called J.Me Follow Me. Like most of the selfie drones, the J.Me comes without a physical remote control. The aircraft can be controlled in three ways trough your smartphone. While I'm already accustomed with virtual sticks and gyro control, I would be interested to test the voice...

RunCam Swift Mini camera for FPV racing quadcopters Although the RunCam Swift Mini is much smaller than its predecessor, it has the same weight (12g). In my opinion RC should also focus to reduce the weight of their FPV cameras. Currently there are on the market AIO VTX cameras that weight only 4 grams. Thanks to the wide input voltage range, this RC...

Huanqi H899C drone with headless mode and GPS return to home Surely, biggest advantage of this Huanqi H899C over the Syma X8 series is the GPS assisted return to home. When the flight battery is near empty, the quadcopter will automatically return to the take-off point. While the H899C drone comes without a camera, it is promoted that is capable to carry GoPro...

Eachine Aurora100 FPV quadcopter with F3 flight controller It looks like 2017 will be a very busy year for Eachine because they just announced another new FPV drone called Aurora 100. While the Aurora 90 has a ducted fan design, its "bigger" brother has a much sporty design. The 600TVL camera is located in front of the carbon fiber frame. In order to be able to easily...

The QX110 comes with an unique "V" shaped tail design. Thanks to the...

Recently, I received the DM002 quadcopter for tests, a Chinese RC toy quite entertaining at an attractive price. I assembled it and played around with it, and now it is time to write my review, of course at the end of which I will draw the conclusions. As I previously mentioned many times, the fact that a drone comes in parts should...

JJPRO JJRC X2 - cheap drone with brushless motors Following the success of their first brushless quadcopter, JJRC announced this weekend a new model called JJPRO X2. Compared to its predecessor, this X2 drone comes with headless flight mode but still doesn't feature altitude hold. The JJRC X1 was the first brushless quadcopter under $100. I reviewed that model by myself and I...

In my opinion, the most important goal of the FPV backpack manufacturers is to design a product that fits any racing quadcopter. Nevertheless, if you want to fit inside more than one drone, the challenge is even bigger. At first impression, the FPV Airport Helipak by ThinkThank is not just very customizable but also comfortable. Thanks to the wide range of products,...
