RunCam 2: Lightweight camera built for RC drones
If I count correctly, this RunCam 2 will be the 7th quadcopter camera that I'm been reviewing. Honestly, I haven't yet found a camera that offers brilliant quality at an affordable price. Who knows, being the lucky 7th, this RunCam 2 will be the best camera for me :)
It would be nice to make a side-by-side comparison between this RunCam...
FLYPRO XEagle Professional Quadcopter
FLYPRO XEagle with 4K camera and xWatch
Lately I read that many quadcopter manufacturers started to develop obstacle avoidance. This FLYPRO XEagle seems to be the first consumer grade quadcopter which adopts this high-end feature. With a built-in infrared photoelectric sensor can detect obstacles from 10cm up to 15meters and avoid collisions. I'm very curious to see the first test videos of this features.
The...
WST Shuttle-280 racing quadcopter
Looking at the images with this WST Shuttle-280 racing quad, I don't know why, I have the impression of a"flying pig" :D. Although the fully enclosed design seems to be a good idea because it will protect the components in case of crash-lands.
Thanks to the 1-axis gimbal, the tilt angle of the frontal camera can be adjusted remotely. This way the operator can set...
JJRC H6W WIFI first person view quadcopter
JJRC H6W FPV quadcopter with headless mode
When I purchased my first quadcopter, few of my friends asked me about the quality of the camera and if it's capable for FPV flights. It seems these two factors are very important features for newbies. This new JJRC H6W quadcopter comes with a 2MP camera and WIFI real time image transmission. During my experience I have not...

Kylin KF-250 racing quadcopter
Kylin KF-250 first person view racer
Just published my Runner 250 Advance review and already have my eye on another racing quadcopter, the Kylin KF-250. Built around the CC3D flight controller, it can be a very serious competitor on its segment.
As I mentioned many times, racing quadcopters are full of fun but, in my opinion, there are suitable only for advanced pilots.
Unlike the previously mentioned...
Runner 250 Advance racing quadcopter review
A few weeks ago, I've already introduced this Runner 250 Advance on my website. Ever since it was announced, it seemed like an exciting model. Adding GPS system to a racing quadcopter was an interesting movement from Walkera, although some pilots considered this an unnecessary one.
The previous "Runner 250" model proved to be a very popular racer. In my...
Z1-Evolution 3-Axis Gimbal review
I know this Zhiyun Z1-Evolution is not a 100% drone-related gadget, but if you want to make product reviews, you will need such a device. Usually, I record my maiden flights with a smartphone or with a head-mounted action camera. I always wanted a professional alternative but didn't have the time to analyze the possibilities. For example, it is...
SY X25 car quadcopter in-depth review
The SY X25 flying car represents the new wave, an innovative quadcopter that can ride like a car and fly whenever needed. Almost identical in design to the Syma X9, it is hard for me to decide which one copies the other one or if the difference is more than the design of the paint. The sure thing is...
Yuxiang 668 A3 quadcopter with camera
Yuxiang 668 A3 Quad with headless mode
When I sow the first images with this Yuxiang 668 A3 Quadcotper I thought we are dealing with another Syma clone. The design of the airframe, landing legs and propeller guards seems to be almost identical. The remote controllers also very similar, the only difference is that the Yuxiang 668 A3's one has a sticker instead of the status display.
The...
