DJI Phantom 3 case by Realacc
After you pay about $ 1000 for a quadcopter, you will want to carry and store your precious toy in the safest possible way. In my opinion, a hard case like this Realacc is the best solution for transporting your Phantom 3 quadcopter when you are traveling by car.
Until now, I stored my Phantom 3 Advanced in its original...
Syma X8W: Big DJI Phone like drone with WiFi FPV
I tested lately a lot of small and beginner quadcopters and finally, I received a bigger one, the Syma X8W, which is probably one of the best mid-range quadcopters. Small quadcopters are good for indoor fun, beginner pilots, practicing, etc. The mid-sized quadcopters are an intermediate step to professional ones as they can do almost all the tricks and...
Syma X5sC-1: Stylish Drone for Beginners
All the kids are now back to school, and the parents (ok probably only the dads :)) will have more time to play with their favorite remote-controlled toys. Yesterday was my 6-year-old son's first school day, he looks very enthusiastic, I'm curious if he will continue this way until he graduates college. We had a few agitated days with...
JX 1601HW review: Cheap drone for kids
When it comes to children, I would seriously recommend you getting a miniature-kid friendly drone like this JX 1601HW, instead of a larger one. Not just because they are affordable, but also because mini drones can't produce them or the surrounding people major injures.
Unlike video games, drones will improve not just kids' motor and cognitive skills but will also give...
Cheerson CX-OF review: Unmatched hovering stability
In the past, mini drones were nice but with no fancy features. Now, the Cheerson CX-OF, with an optical-flow sensor and intelligent flight modes, changes the rules. Of course, besides all these, it's equipped with a WiFi FPV camera, which allows you to enjoy first-person view flying using your smartphone.
The CX-OF is a great successor of Cheerson Hobby's CX-10 Nano...
Eachine TX01S camera review: Good range, Flexibility in mounting
The Eachine TX01S camera is specially designed for mini FPV drones like the TinyWhoop where space and weight is critical. Due to its modular design, the TX01S VTX camera can also be successfully used on low-profile aircraft.
At first look, except for the nice price tag, the most significant advantage of this combo camera over purchasing separately a camera and 5.8G VTX is...
Eachine Tiny QX95 micro FPV drone review
After many brushless racing quadcopters, I thought that it would be nice to review a micro brushed quadcopter like this Eachine Tiny QX95. In my opinion, these little RC toys are not just cheaper but also somehow more practical than the powerful brushed quads. For example, this Eachine QX 95 weighs only 56g which makes it suitable for indoor flights. Bumping into...
Eachine E51 review: Foldable drone for newbies
Hi, and welcome back. The Eachine E51 review is my fifth article on FirstQuadcopter.com. Traditionally, I will try to reveal as much information as possible about this Eachine E51 selfie drone. Of course, not just the good stuff, the bad ones as well.
Over the last few years, Eachine has become one of the most active players in the toy drone market....
Fayee FY805 micro: Tiniest hexacopter
Hexacopters like this Fayee FY805 offer greater stability compared to the 4-motor design (or at least it is supposed to be). But sadly, each concept has its advantages and disadvantages. More parts mean a higher chance of failure. After I received this tiny toy I was curious how it performs so I tested it immediately. I had the misfortune of...
Eachine E57 drone review: So thin that it can slip everywhere
All kidding aside, even if it's ultra-thin, the Eachine E57 probably will not be able to sneak under any door. When it's folded, the thickness of the fuselage is below 1 cm, but you know it is very hard to fly this way :). With motors in the flight position, the height of the E57 is about 28 mm.
Toy-grade...
CNHL LI-ION 4S 3200mAh: For Long-Range and not-so!
Initially, LI-ION battery packs for long-range drones were homemade by hobbyists. They connected 4 or 6 cells serially to achieve the desired voltage. Sony VTC6 18650 batteries were used the most due to their excellent reliability. Panasonic and Samsung LI-ION proved to perform well also. In this review, we will have a closer look at the CNHL LI-ION 4S...
