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...
Redpawz R011 review: Cheapest complete FPV drone
This week, besides the Redpawz R011, I received a couple of other drones for review, from basic toy drones to professional racing quadcopters. Honestly, from all these I prefer the tiny R011 because its package contains all you need for first person view flights. With a price tag of $63, it is very hard to find such complete FPV...
FQ777 FQ26 drone review: First flying cube
After the flying egg, here is the first flying cube. In the folded position, you would not think that the FQ777 FQ26 is capable of flying. It looks like a cube with four fans. Can be easily confused with an electronic alarm clock or something like that :D
FUQI Models announced this "Miracle" drone in two variants. While the FQ26-TX...
Tattu R-line battery review: 95C, more punch for your drone
Frankly, being my first Li-Po review, I didn't know how to start it. I took the Tattu R-line 4s 1300 mAh battery in my hand several times hoping for inspiration. Nothing, it was like holding a banal brick. Then, I realized that without the Li-Po technology drones could have not evolved this fast. The biggest advantage of lithium polymer...
Eachine C600T review: Super mini FPV camera
When it comes to micro drones, it is very hard to find a camera that is small and light enough to fit in. Measuring 15 x 15 mm and weighing only 4.09 grams, the Eachine C600T camera can be lifted by very small drones.
At the moment, basically, there are two approaches in the design of FPV cameras, "all-in-one" (one device,...
Walkera Rodeo 110 review: Best mini FPV quadcopter?
Today I will review the Walkera Rodeo 110, a micro-scale brushless FPV quadcopter. Compared to larger FPV drones, the Rodeo 110 is suitable for outdoor as well as for indoor flights.
While doing some research for my Walkera Rodeo 110 review, I read somewhere that its camera is capable of recording HD videos, which is a big lie. To keep...
Eachine E013 review: More bang for your bucks
Maybe the Eachine E013 doesn't feature a versatile flight controller as the TW, but with the included FPV monitor the fun is guaranteed. At a glance, the biggest improvement of the E013 compared to its predecessors is the 5.8G FPV camera.
While WiFi FPV is used on most of toy-grade drones, 5.8G FPV is highly adopted by professional racing quadcopters....
Flytec T13 review: Pocket selfie drone
To bring something new to the selfie drone market, the Flytec T13 adopts half-reversed propellers. On the front, the propellers are as usual (above the arms), but on rear, they are orientated to the ground (under the arms).
Yesterday, one of my friends suggested that it would be more helpful for my readers to write some drone-buying guides than to...
Black Box DVR review: Easy way to Record your FPV flights
When it comes to FPV flights, additional devices like this Black Box DVR are required to record the journey of your flights. In order to keep latency at lowest value possible, FPV cameras does not offer recording feature.
You have two options to record your FPV flights with the Black Box Micro D1M DVR. One is to split the camera's video-out...
GTENG T908W review: Wannabee DIY drone
GTENG T908W it is advertised as to be a DIY quadcopter but, if you ask me, it is more like a modular drone. You don't need to solder or something like this, just put together the main parts and you are ready to fly.
In my opinion, the fact that a drone can be easily split into parts should not...
Eachine E51 review: Foldable drone for newbies
Hi, and welcome back. The Eachine E51 review is my fifth article on FirstQuadcopter.com. Traditionally, I will try to reveal as much information as possible about this Eachine E51 selfie drone. Of course, not just the good stuff, the bad ones as well.
Over the last few years, Eachine has become one of the most active players in the toy drone market....
