JJRC H345 pocket drone review: Pay 1 and get 2
Until recently, remote controlled drones were expensive toys. Now, JJRC H345 offers not one but two drones for the same friendly price. When I say "friendly" I mean less than $30!
JJRC includes in the H345 package, a white drone called JJI and a black one called JJII. Before you get too enthusiastic thinking that you can play in the...
Blade Inductrix FPV Plus review: Best micro FPV drone
Surprisingly, while the Blade Inductrix FPV Plus was one of the most promising micro FPV drone of 2018, I found very few reviews about it. After playing with so many Tiny Whoop clones I was happy to review the upgraded version of the father of all Tiny Whoops, the Blade Inductrix FPV+. I wanted to discover if it's worth the huge price...
Sunlu Terminator 3 (T3) review: Fast but Rusty
The Sunlu Terminator 3 (T3) is an ambitious 3D printer that promises five times faster print speed than most of its contenders. Priced for only $199.99, it comes with 250mm/s high-speed printing, a metal double-gear extruder, and a 16 points auto-leveling system. Our review covers unboxing, assembling, first impressions, and usage recommendations.
We have to admit that most of the...
VIFLY WhoopStor 3: 1S Charger for Whoopsters
Micro CineWhoop style FPV drones drain the battery very fast and have only 2-4 minutes of flight time. This means that you will need about 20 batteries for one hour of fun. The VIFLY WhoopStor 3 allows you to charge up to six batteries at once, so you can fly while the empty batteries are recharged. The unit is...
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...
Mavic Mini ND filters by Skyreat: Review & Sample footage
With limited manual video control, the Mavic Mini is considered, rather than a toy, a truly flying camera for professional work. Many say that ND filters are completely useless for this drone, but then why are there so many options available?
For this review, I am focusing on Skyreat’s Mavic Mini ND filter pack. I will start with some introduction...
AKK X2 review: Super mini VTX with up to 800mW
Since the first FPV drones, VTXs evolved a lot. They became smaller and more powerful. In addition to the compact size and up to 800mW broadcast power, the AKK X2 comes with Smart Audio. This means that you can configure the AKK X2 remotely via your transmitter.
Currently, there are two approaches supported by BetaFlight OSD to control the VTX,...
Eachine E55 review: Ultra compact sElfie drone
Tiny cameras that can fly still seemed like a sci-fi dream just a few years ago, but with Eachine's new E55 quadcopter, the future has arrived, and it's dirt cheap.
Cheap flying cameras like Eachine E55 are very often called "Selfie drones", but this is a bit exaggerated. The truth is that you can't buy anything under $500 in compliance...
DarwinFPV CineApe 25 review: CineWhoop for $139
CineWhoop-style FPV drones are the most appropriate for newcomers to the RC hobby. The DarwinFPV CineApe 25 comes with an injection-molded 360° propeller guard and a straightforward maintenance approach, all for a friendly price tag. First-time FPV pilots, even if they are after several hours of practicing with PC drone simulators, will crash their drones in acro mode. At...
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.
If you're an occasional drone pilot, who plays only once a month, probably any cheap charger will fit for you, but if you are seriously involved in quadcopter racing, with a huge arsenal of...
Osmo Action review: Action Camera from King of Drones
OSMO Action is DJI's first attempt to enter the world of action cameras, which has been dominated by GoPro for a long time. As DJI has been creating solid cameras for its drones and handheld gimbals for years, it was just a matter of time for the above happened. They aimed high from the beginning, the OSMO Action (OA)...
