First Quadcopter

I came across this Floureon Racer 250 racing quadcopter while I looked for the latest quadcopter news. Although I'm swamped preparing my baggage for a long weekend trip, I didn't want to miss saying a few words about this cheap racing quadcopter. So far I knew that Floureon manufactures only micro quadcopters, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out...

Everyone probably knows that owl's eyes are large to improve efficiency, especially under extremely low light conditions. This is why RunCam equipped their Owl Plus StarLight camera with a larger image sensor. While their other FPV cameras have smaller 1/3" image sensors, the RunCam Owl Plus has a 1/2" sensor. A larger sensor means bigger pixels, which results in better light sensitivity....

Eachine is a very popular quadcopter and FPV accessories manufacturer among RC enthusiasts. Over time, they released many cheap models like this Eachine E30W but also some pretty cool racer quadcopters. I also tested and reviewed their 7 " FPV screen which proved to have good quality at a reasonable price. If you are a Pro, you should probably skip...

After the high-end and expensive Goggle3, it was time for Walkera to come up with something more affordable. This new Walkera Goggle 4 has a much friendly price than its predecessor. Walkera advertises this model with AV input/output but in my opinion, it would have been more appropriate to integrate an HDMI input. Professional models like DJI Phantom 4 allows connecting...

After many "high-end" quadcopter reviews, it was time to test something more affordable, the SKRC Q16. This model was announced about 4 weeks ago by an unknown Chinese manufacturer (at least for me) called "ShengKai". Basically, the design of the SKRC Q16 reminds me of the Syma X5C, which was my first quadcopter. Lately, I have read many negative comments regarding...

MJX X102H cheap quad for GoPro and alike cameras New bird on the sky, the Chinese manufacturer MJX R/C just announced their new X102H quad with altitude hold. This model looks like an upgraded version of the popular MJX X101 X-Series. This new MJX quad features all the latest features like headless mode and key to return to home. The left red shoulder...

JJRC H11WH with WiFi first person view camera This new JJRC quad was announced few weeks ago simultaneously on many online quadcopter shops. In my opinion, thanks to the newbie orientated features (headless mode and altitude hold) this JJRC H11WH looks just perfect for beginner pilots. While the design of the H11WH reminds me about another JJRC quad, the X1, the transmitter...

As this summer I'm planing to organize some drone racing with my friends, I started to look for cheap racing quadcopters. I do not want to lend them my precious Walkera racing quads; if it crashes, at least it is done by my hand. Among the wide variety of racing drones, I found this REDCON Phoenix 210 ARF (almost...

UNICORN 220 - fast and durable racing quadcopter Lately, I reviewed many racing quadcopters and I found them more interesting over the "regular" cruising quad-copters. There are good ones and bad ones but anyhow,  I'm thinking to contact FPVStyle in order to test their praised Unicorn 220 too. The FPVStyle UNICORN 220 features a nice durable carbon fiber frame. Between the upper and...

The first time I read the news about this FlyPro XEagle quadcopter, I was pretty impressed. I liked the idea, but at the same time, I was afraid that it was another born-dead Kickstarter project. Last week, I had the pleasure of reading the FlyPro XEagle Sport review made by another fellow (Bo Lorentzen - FPVGuy), in which he confirmed...
