First Quadcopter

Hot Rod your quadcopter - Transform your X5C or one of the many clones into a Hot Rod!!! In a series of articles I will be taking a brand new Syma X5 clone from a beginner level flier, that anyone can fly, to a High Performance screamer that will still be very stable and inexpensive to modify. First of all you...

As I remember, I paid $60 for my first multi-rotor. I never thought a quadcopter could be much cheaper until I learned about this Eachine H8 Mini that costs only $13.99. Yes, I didn't mistype the price, and yes, the prices include free shipping. If you don't believe me you can check by yourself on Banggood's website. Before the H8...

TO: Site Monitor I would like to post some still pictures along with my comments. Can I do this? If so, how would I do it? If not I certainly understand. I don’t want to start my own web site and I think this site may grow with more content. I really love messing with these inexpensive Quads. I have...

Summer's quadcopter reviews on www.firstquadcopter.com Being a Syma fan, I could not skip to test at least one model of the latest X8 series. Banggood already sent it to me and probably will arrive within two weeks. As soon as I get it and test it few times I will write my review. I want to compare it side by side with the Tarantula X6, that I...

QW GPS first person view quadcopter Chinese guys are pretty good to clone quad-copters and other electronic devices, but they have a big issue in naming the products. For example, this new quadcopter looks very good and it has some decent features, but frankly what chances they have to make a successful promotion for a product with names like: "QW quadcopter" or "PiPo QW quadcopter"? The design of...

Initially, I started my journey with small and mid-sized drones because they were affordable and bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. As the price of full sized (350mm) quadcopters is decreasing, they become popular and accessible to everyone. This new MJX X101 quadcopter looks like a direct competitor to the Tarantula X6 (the flying spider) which was my first big-sized quad and I...

I got this new quadcopter last Friday, but only today I had the time and the proper mood to write about it and make my Tarantula X6 review. Hearing the word "Tarantula", my thoughts immediately go to a spooky hairy spider. The engineers from JJRC tried to imitate the face of a spider in the cockpit design, and I think...

FQ777-124 the ultimate micro quadcopter Micro quadcopters like this FQ777-124 are appreciated because they are affordable and very portable. For newbies I always recommend to buy something not expensive and easy to fly. Crashes always happen and it's not a good idea to hit the ground with a $999 DJI Phantom 3. There are many small quadcopters on the market that are sold very well because they are accesible to every one, they...

I have more than five mid sized quadcopters with stock cameras from 0.3 to 5MP, honestly there is not much image quality difference between them. Lots of times it happened to go outside an play with one of my quad and at the end, when I wanted to download the pictures, I realized that I either forgot to put in the...

 Syma X13 Miracle mini quadcopter I started my journey in the world of quadcopters with probably the most successful Syma model, the X5C. At that time I opted for that multi-rotor instead of other ones because it seemed reliable and affordable. The time has proven that it was a good choice so I ordered with confidence this new Syma X13...
