First Quadcopter

Last Monday, returning from a short holiday where I took only the DJI Phantom 3 with me, I realized that racing quadcopters is much fun. Next time I will squeeze this Floureon Racer 250 too in my luggage. My flights from this three-day holiday ended with about 10GB of aerial videos. Most of them are boring, useless scenes. Racing quads...

Certainly this time Walkera achieved high, their new MR drone is the first model that mixes virtual reality with the real world. Using Walkera MR Drone with the specially designed VR APP you can transform any boring flight field into a Star Wars scene. In my opinion, Walkera came up with this idea after seeing Pokémon GO's incredible success. The...

DYS XDR220 mini racing quadcopter with SP F3 flight controller and FPV camera Certainty, it seems that DYS made a nice job in terms of design with this XDR220 quadcopter. I like the robust carbon fiber airframe as well as the color combination they chose. In order to allow side-by-side races, you can opt between 3 colors of cockpit (blue, red...

Frankly, I was a bit reticent to review this Eachine MC01 FPV camera because on first impression it looked very cheap compared to the RunCam cameras I tested in the past. Eachine's idea to integrate the camera, 5.8G TX, and the antenna into a single FPV gear is probably the most appreciated feature by those who want to build their own micro racing quadcopter....

All about drone quadcopter flyaway Probably few of U will ask, what does it mean "flyaway". Frankly, is one of the ugliest things that could happen with your favorite quadcopter. When flyaway occurs you totally loose the control of the drone and it will fly away from you in one direction or chaotically changing its flight path. I read somewhere that the quad...

I read somewhere that XK Innovations is a "deluxe" division of WLToys. Indeed, on first look, the XK X252 quadcopter has a pretty nice design and comes with many features. Only its attractive price is apart from a "deluxe" product, so I'm expecting to discover only positive things about this quad during my review. The XK brand started to become...

Eachine Pioneer E350 - The new Phantom killer ? Finally, after several racing models, Eachine surprised us with a nice cruising quadcopter. This Eachine Pioneer E350 equipped with a GoPro or Xiaomi camera looks just perfect for aerial filming. In order to allow smooth and vibration free videos this quadcopter is equipped with a 2-axis brushless gimbal. The design of this Eachine model...

Recomandations for my first drone Greetings and Salutations !!! Love your website and videos !!!! This 55 year old father of 2 is desperately looking to buy his FIRST quadcopter. Unfortunately, I've never operated anything that is RC so I know I need something easy. At the advice of someone on an RC forum, I bought a Eachine H8 Mini. I was told its...

XBM-55 (aka T-Smart) quadcopter with altitude hold and one key take off/land Certainly, WiFI FPV is one of the most handy first person view solution because it can easily be implemented and accepts as FPV display almost any mobile device. In order to be in trend, this XBM-55 T-Smart drone features a 720P WiFI FPV camera. In my opinion, the designers of this XBM-55 were deeply inspired by...

Since I started the FirstQuadcopter.com blog I wrote about many Hubsan models in the quadcopter news section but till now I have not had the chance to review one. I was extremely happy when one of my partners offered me this Hubsan H111D for review, especially since it's a very new model on the market so I will be among the first people who review...
