First Quadcopter

I just published my first FPV goggles review and I already have here on my desk another model. On first impression, this Walkera Goggle 4 looks much better so I'm hoping that will perform better, especially since that is not the cheapest FPV goggles on the market. Walkera announced their FPV Goggle 4 series in two versions, a premium one and...

This new Pokémon GO craziness, as I saw in a YouTube video, ends it up with some dude trying to hunt them using a mini quadcopter just like this Cheerson CX-10WD. Frankly, I don't know how he came up with this stupid idea. He probably opted for this CX10WD because it looks pretty cool and it has many reviews. The CX-10WD...

As many other quadcopter manufacturer, YiZhan decided to upgrade their product line with altitude hold feature. The YiZhan i8H quadcopter's flight controller is equipped with barometric air-pressure sensor which allows the aircraft to autonomously keep stable the flying altitude. This is a great feature especially if you want to use your quad for aerial filming. Taking into consideration the design of the i8H I...

Currently there is a large variety of FPV goggles on the market, from cheap ones like this KDS Kylin to very expensive ones that can cost even $ 700. Being not too familiar with FPV goggles I wanted firstly to test something cheap in order to see if it's worth investing more in a high-end model. This is the reason...

Huanqi H899 quadcopter for aerial filming Just returned from my one week holiday I started to look for new quadcopters and I came across this Huanqi H899 drone. The manufacturer advertises this model to be powerful enough to lift GoPro and alike action cameras. Of course, this can be possible but frankly I would not have the confidence to hang my $ 450 GoPro Hero...

A waterproof quadcopter means that the aircraft can be immersed underwater. Usually, waterproof drones are extremely expensive because they have different designs and require special components. JJRC Toys claims that their $33 H31 quad can be submerged in water and still be able to fly. Honestly, I doubt this thing and I want to test myself on this JJRC...

Idea-Fly Mars 350 - poor man's Phantom quad Till this Mars 350, Idea-Fly had other nice quadcopters but none succeeded to become popular and frankly I don't now exactly why. It could be something like weak marketing or poor after market support. In the age of DJI Phantom 4, the features of Idea-Fly Mars 350 seem to be from the dinosaurs era. Without offering fancy features like...

After you pay about $ 1000 for a quadcopter, you will want to carry and store your precious toy in the safest possible way. In my opinion, a hard case like this Realacc is the best solution for transporting your Phantom 3 quadcopter when you are traveling by car. Until now, I stored my Phantom 3 Advanced in its original...

The biggest innovation of this FQ11W over the older FQ777 models is the foldable arms. If I remember correctly, FQ777 was among the first manufacturers who offered truly pocket drones. In my opinion, it is a great idea to store the quad inside the remote controller. Unlike its predecessors, this FQ777 FQ11W features a WiFI FPV camera which allows real-time...

Currently, there are several types of FPV displays on the market but the most widespread are the 7" FPV screens and FPV glasses. Frankly, I don't think that gadgets like this GTeng T909 watch can compete with FPV goggles because they are not too practical. I think they can be used more for fun than for truly professional usage. Although...
