POPDEER S500: A little power horse
The Popdeer S500 offers a storage capacity of 518 Wh and 500W of output power. It is the smallest solar generator in size with these power parameters that I have tested so far. It is almost twice as small as the 300W power station I reviewed last month. Priced around $200, this is a relatively simple unit, but it’s...
AKK FX2-Dominator VTX review: 2W FPV transmitter
Regarding FPV flights, it is essential to know at what distance you want to fly. Once you lose the video connection with the aircraft, you can say goodbye. If you have luck, it will crash in an uninhabited field without causing any damage besides itself. The AKK FX2-Dominator features up to 2W transmission power. If you need less power,...
Cheerson CX-17 Cricket quadcopter review
I went for a walk recently in the nearest forest, excited to enjoy some fresh spring air and beautiful flowering trees. In one pocket I had my smartphone. In another, I had a mini-quadcopter, the new Cheerson CX-17.
I like these small drones because you can take them everywhere with you - to the park or even to the office....
Eachine QX70 review: Nice concept but underpowered
As I said in one of my recent reviews, during cold winter days, I prefer smaller FPV drones like this Eachine QX70. Adopting ducted propellers, they are totally "harmless" for indoor practice. Even my curios cat is safe with them :)
This "ducted" madness started with the Tiny Whoop, whose biggest downside was the high price. Later, manufacturers like Eachine...
FreeWell Autel EVO Nano ND filter kit review
If you are serious about getting the greatest photo and video results from your Autel EVO Nano drone, you should invest in Neutral Density (ND) filters. In this review, we will have a closer look at FreeWell's 'All Day' kit which includes 6 filters to cover all light situations that you can encounter from sunrise to sunset.
Being a hobbyist...
Hubsan Zino Mini Pro review: Incredibly small and versatile
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...
EcoWitt HP2551: Flight Field Weather Monitoring Like a PRO!
My flight field is nearly 30km (19 miles) from my residential home, and before going out to play with my drones, I always check the wind conditions in various weather apps. The area is between some valleys and has its microclimate; the weather applications are often wrong. Installing a home water station, like the EcoWitt HP2551, is the best...
Cheerson CX-10WD mini quad in-depth review
This new Pokémon GO craziness, as I saw in a YouTube video, ends it up with some dude trying to hunt them using a mini quadcopter just like this Cheerson CX-10WD. Frankly, I don't know how he came up with this stupid idea. He probably opted for this CX10WD because it looks pretty cool and it has many reviews.
The CX-10WD...
Eachine ROTG02 review: Cheap Android FPV receiver
These days everyone has at least one smartphone in their pocket which can be used as a 5.8G FPV display along with this Eachine ROTG02 Android FPV receiver. Of course, due to its higher latency, it can not completely replace a dedicated FPV monitor/goggle.
Personally, I find the Eachine ROTG02 more useful as a second FPV display. My son loves...
KOSPET TANK T3 Ultra review: A near-perfect rugged smartwatch
The last time I wore a watch was in the 80s, a Casio with a built-in scientific calculator that can be considered the great-grandfather of today's modern smartwatches like the KOSPET TANK T3 Ultra.
This month, Kospet updated their T and M series smart watches. The T3 Ultra and M3 Ultra share similar features but have different designs. The built-in...

Lately, AKK Technology became one of the most active player on the VTX market. In addition, they are coming up almost every month with new products...
