Walksnail Avatar HD Nano V3: Digital FPV for all your drones
Last month, Caddx introduced its fifth digital FPV kit, the Walksnail Avatar HD Nano V3. Although its name is suggested to be super small, it is one of their most sophisticated video transmission systems suitable for small CineWhoop drones and bigger racing/freestyling FPV quadcopters. This new release introduces racing mode, which promises to improve latency stability.
Being able to switch...
BetaFPV SuperG Nano TX: First GEMINI ELRS transmitter
Since I built my first ExpressLRS-enabled FPV drone, I converted all existing drones to ELRS due to the excellent range and link stability. BetaFPV's new SuperG Nano TX module is the first GEMINI-compliant transmitter with dual-frequency diversity communication. The module was developed by BetaFPV in cooperation with the ExpressLRS team. It is based on ELRS V3.3 and promises improved...
Skystars Bolt5 (Foxeer Caesar) racing drone frame
Racing frames like the Skystars Bolt5 or Foxeer Caesar prioritize light weight and aerodynamic efficiency for maximum speed and maneuverability. Their geometry is optimized to have the smallest friction in the air, and the battery is mounted underneath the frame to obtain the optimal center of gravity (COG).
My review refers to the SkyStars-RC Bolt5 frame kit, but as the...
Hawkeye FireFly 5S: A budged GoPro alternative for drone pilots
There are many action cameras like this FireFly 5s on the market, and it is tough to evaluate them only by the specs. Most are very similar, based on the same hardware just sold under different "brand" names. What I have first learned regarding these Chinese GoPro clones is that the number of megapixels does not count too much in...
Walkera Goggle 4 review
I just published my first FPV goggles review and I already have here on my desk another model. On first impression, this Walkera Goggle 4 looks much better so I'm hoping that will perform better, especially since that is not the cheapest FPV goggles on the market.
Walkera announced their FPV Goggle 4 series in two versions, a premium one and...

DHD D1 pocket quadcopter review
Pocket quadcopters like this DHD D1 are appreciated because they are affordable and extremely portable. For beginners, I always recommend starting with small and inexpensive models. Crashes always happen and it’s not a good idea to throw out the window a $500 model.
There are many interesting micro quadcopters on the market, and is a tough decision, especially for newbies, which one...
XiangYu XY017HW review: All you need from your first drone
At a $50 base price, the XiangYu XY017HW offers many popular features and some extras. Compared to other cheap toy drones, the XY017HW brings more enjoyable 720P WiFi real-time image transmission. The drone's camera also provides a much wider field of view (FOV) than most of its competitors.
When it comes to newbies, I find it useless to invest more...

Sunlu FilaDryer S4 review
I started using 3D printers about three years ago, and what I learned first is that dry filament is essential to obtaining quality prints. As its name suggests, the Sunlu FilaDryer S4 allows simultaneous dehydration of four spools, making it unique in its market segment.
I just counted and found more than ten opened filament spools at home. Even if...
