RunCam PZ0420M camera review
Most of the TVL security cams can also be used as first-person view cameras and few of them are even cheaper than the RunCam PZ0420M.

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...

Z1-Evolution 3-Axis Gimbal review
I know this Zhiyun Z1-Evolution is not a 100% drone-related gadget, but if you want to make product reviews, you will need such a device. Usually, I record my maiden flights with a smartphone or with a head-mounted action camera. I always wanted a professional alternative but didn't have the time to analyze the possibilities. For example, it is...
Hobbymate D6 Dual Lite review: Two channel LIPO charger
While FirstQuadcopter is mainly focused on drone reviews, we are always happy to test and evaluate additional accessories like this Hobbymate D6 Dual Lite LIPO charger.

ZLL SG108 PRO review: Affordable drone for beginners
Today we will test and review the ZLL SG108 PRO, an ultra-light brushless GPS drone. The most important additions of the 'Pro' edition are the onboard recording and the 2-axis gimbal that allows capturing smoother videos (at least it should). From the beginning, I can confess to you that even if it is marketed with a 4K camera, you...
