First Quadcopter

On the first flights with the Scout X4 you may experience the quadcopter drifting. This is normal and you have to continue to fly the Scout X4 manually while the system improves the calibration. After 5-10 minutes land and lock the motors. This will save the improved settings. The pilots will notice a significant improvement in the GPS hold and...

DFD F183 or JJRC H8C - same quadcopter under different brand Looking for a new quadcopter that will be a good replacement to my dead quad, I found this DFD F183 (a.k.a. JJRC H8C). These two quadopters has the same design and same specs but they have different prices. The DFD F183 quadcopter has the higher price. Probably they tested the market for the optimal price. I think that only after few weeks we...

I accidentally came across this FREE X Skyview quadcopter from Skyartec. It was launched on the beginning of 2014 and, unfortunately, it was removed suddenly from some online shops. There are two possible reasons it was removed from the market: it has some hidden issues or it's a 100% clone of another branded quadcopter. The Free X SkyView is a versatile...

If you want to move from toy-graded quadcopters to something more versatile, but your budget is limited, the Flying 3D X6 will probably be the first option. This quadcopter is the only GPS model under $200. The size of this Flying3D X6 is visibly smaller than its bigger brother Flying 3D X8, and also has a shorter flight time. The short...

The first video is very important for the ones who have enough luck to buy the Scout X4. They will learn how to assemble the quadcopter itself and the transmitter as well. Only after this step can they make the first flight with this professional quadcopter from Walkera. The first impression after looking inside the box of the Walkera Scout...

Walkera is a quadcopter manufacturer that certainly knows how to make great palm-sized aircraft like this QR W100S. The Walkera QR W100S's most important feature is the Wi-Fi support that allows you to control the quadcopter directly with any iPhone or Android device.  Through the Wi-Fi signal you can view live feeds from the quadcopter's camera on your smartphone. The W100S...

Syma X5, X5C and X5C-1 spare parts Unavoidable, after several crash lands, you will need some spare parts to repair your Syma quadcopter. After my last crash land I recovered my Syma X5c only after few minutes. Unfortunately, because the motors didn't stopped after hitting the ground, the propellers have hooked in 20cm high grass. As I am a beginner flyer, of course I have had some...

GoPro Hero4 - the most advanced camera for quadcopters! This new GoPro camera brings a lot of new features that professional aerial videographers have been begging for. GoPro Hero4 Black is the flagship of the Hero series. It looks almost identical to the older Hero 3+ Black but it's what's inside that meters. Like the older model, it has also 4K video support but with double video frame rate....
