The Jumper T20 GEMINI is the third model of the family, and as its name suggests comes with a built-in twin ELRS TX module. The T20G inherits the small form factor and full-size RDC90 gimbals of the T20S. In this review, we will discover all the differences and if it is worth the extra money. Once you delve into the...

Since I started building FPV drones, HQProp has been in the top three of my personal choice. I tried to avoid using propellers from known brands despite being cheaper. This review will look closer at six of their props. Propellers, also known as props, are considered consumables and are not given much importance, although they are directly responsible for the...

If you’re looking for a lightweight camera for FPV drones, UAVs, RC vehicles, or any application where you want a more compact camera, the RunCam 6 is the camera to choose. Weighting just 45 grams, it is ideal for 2-3.5" drones that are not powerful enough to carry a full-size GoPro action camera. While the RunCam HD (gen1), RunCam 2...

IFlight developed the Afterburner 5" FPV drone in partnership with 2RAW; a company focused on cinematic FPV drones. Adopting a true-x frame structure, it has a 20% smaller footprint than traditional 5-inch freestyle frames. To reduce the vibration and movements of the GoPro camera during flights, this is installed in the center of the frame, not in front. The view...

Probably everyone into 3D printing hobby has already heard about the Chitubox slicing program. Still, in this review, we will focus on the company's ChiTu JAMG HE Conjure PLA+ and Hi-Speed PLA Pus 3D filaments, which I had not heard until a few weeks ago. To get the best out of our 3D-printed models, you must find the perfect balance...

After years of experience flying analog FPV drones, I upgraded my fleet to HD digital FPV last year. I used for most of them DJI O3 Air Unit kits and HD Avatar systems for a few. CaddxFPV's new Walksnail Moonlight, featuring 4K resolution and Starlight low-light performance, seems to be a game changer. Practically, it has everything you could...

Last year, our City Hall did some tests on aerial medical transportation between two hospitals. The cargo drone they used was custom-made and did not look good or professional like the DJI FlyCart 30. The proof of concept was somehow successful, except the drone needed to emergency land two times due to poor weather conditions. Instead, the DJI FlyCart...

Although one of the best manufacturers of analog FPV cameras for a long time, CaddxFPV has joined DJI's digital HD FPV platform, then quickly made another change and focused exclusively on the Walsknail Avatar HD FPV transmission system. Honestly, I was surprised when I read about the release of the Rate Pro camera for the analog FPV systems that...

This morning, scrolling through TikTok videos, I came across a post from a content creator that showed its new selfie drone, the HoverAir X1. Like the AEE Sparrow, AirSelfie Air Neo S, or Simtoo Hoshi 007, the Zero Zero Robotic X1 Airselfie drone also has a caged design. The drone can be folded to fit inside your pocket, making it...

Here at FirstQuadcopter, we start 2024 with a flight controller review. The MEPS SZ F7 HD is the company's second FC we tested. Both have similar features, mainly just the mounting pattern difference. The smaller 20x20mm is suitable for compact 3-5" CineWhoop drones, and the bigger 30x30mm for 5-9" freestyling and long-range FPV drones. The flight controller is one of...
