Cicada 180 review: Cheap FPV drone for Racing
The Cicada 180 is a medium-sized FPV drone made by a new multi-rotor brand called LitisRC. From the first look, it is clear that the LitisRC Cicada 180 reassembles the design of the more expensive ImmersionRC Vortex 180 Mini. On paper, the two racing drones look extremely similar - but can a cheap $100 FPV drone win the race?...

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.
