First Quadcopter

The Hubsan Zino Pro was probably the most expected drone of 2021. It is the first quadcopter with a 4K camera and obstacle avoidance system under 250 grams. Our Zino Mini Pro review covers technical specs, features, image quality, and battery life. Of course, we will also test how effective is its 3D collision avoidance system. In the under 500...

After HGLRC, BetaFPV, GepRC, and Diatone, Happymodel also released their ultra-light 3.5" freestyle FPV drone. Like its contenders, the Happymodel Crux35 is available with analogue and digital FPV systems. The Crux35 Analog comes equipped with Caddx ANT camera and OVX303 VTX (up to 300mW broadcast power).

The new generation 'S' version of the SJRC F11 4K Pro comes with an upgraded communication system that doubles the control range of its predecessor.

According to the advertised specs, the 11.1V 2500mAh battery...

The biggest upgrade of the BetaFPV Cetus Pro compared to its predecessor is the brushless motors which provide more power compared to brushed ones.

My LDARC EX8 review covers technical specifications, features, and initial settings. The LDARC EX8 features 8 channels...
