Eachine E31HW review: Mixed flight performance
Quadcopters may be getting smaller and more affordable than ever, but few can say they are perfect. At first look, Eachine E31HW is a simple, easy-to-fly drone that is capable of taking photos and videos. Hopefully, at the end of my review, the list of pros will be longer than the list of cons.
Eachine announced the E31 series in 3...
Foxeer HS1177 V2 review: Better housing, improved electronics
Foxeer's XAT600M classic FPV camera gets new skin and some extras. The upgraded Foxeer HS1177 V2 has a metal case and wider input voltage. To be trendy, the camera is available in 3 colors (orange, blue, and black).
The First edition of the HS1177 camera, due to its low weight and good image quality has quickly become popular among professional FPV pilots...
Eachine TX01S camera review: Good range, Flexibility in mounting
The Eachine TX01S camera is specially designed for mini FPV drones like the TinyWhoop where space and weight is critical. Due to its modular design, the TX01S VTX camera can also be successfully used on low-profile aircraft.
At first look, except for the nice price tag, the most significant advantage of this combo camera over purchasing separately a camera and 5.8G VTX is...
Foxeer Legend 3 review: 4K FPV at decent price
While many drone camera manufacturers moved to cubic shape, Foxeer Legend 3 sees the return of the candybar form factor that Mobius debuted a few years ago. Don't be afraid, the old design is paired with UHD 4K video recording, which is a must-have in 2017.
When it comes to racing quad-copters, it is very hard to find a proper...
VISUO XS809HW quadcopter review: Poor man’s Mavic
The VISUO XS809HW quadcopter, as you can see right at first glance, is a copy of the Mavic Pro from the market leader DJI. It features a similar design with foldable arms.
To be honest, not everyone wants to pay 100 or even 1000 dollars for drones with fancy features that they can't explore. Don't mention that newbies usually destroy a...
Eachine ATX03 VTX review: Cheap and lightweight
Today I will review a super light VTX module for FPV drones. Weighting only 3.5g, the Eachine ATX03 is suitable for small-sized quadcopters.
VTX modules are used to transmit the camera's video signal wirelessly. The most common frequency for FPV is 5.8Ghz. In order to allow the use of multiple VTXs in the same time (such as during a drone...
Eachine Racer 250 PRO review: Nothing like the first edition
Brushless quadcopters aren't cheap, but the Eachine Racer 250 PRO comes at a surprisingly reasonable price of $129.99, considering its nice design and impressive features. Of course, like many budget FPV drones, there are Pros and Cons to the Racer 250 Pro which I'm planning to reveal during my review.
The Eachine Racer 250 PRO drone was announced in two variants, PNP and RTF....
FrSky Taranis Q X7 transmitter review
Last week I reviewed two FrSky receivers and now it's time to review the Taranis Q X7 transmitter - which is the latest and cheapest TX from FrSky.
When it comes to remote-controlled gadgets, FrSky is a very popular radio system among RC fanatics. They are future-packed, reliable, and now also affordable. When I saw the price of the Horus X12S...
FrSky receivers with PPM, CPPM and SBUS: XSR and D8
Today, I will review two FrSky receivers, the mini D8 and the XSR ACCST. While the Micro Frsky D8 features PPM and SBUS, the FrSky XSR has S-Bus CPPM output.
For those who are new in the field, let me say a few words about radio receivers. Their main function is to interlink wirelessly the flight controller with the transmitter...
Eachine QX110 VTail quadcopter review
About a month ago I introduced this Eachine V-tail QX110 drone in the news section and now it is time for an in-depth review of this nice and versatile mini racer.
Compared to other micro FPV drones that I recently reviewed, the Eachine QX110 comes with an OSD, buzzer, and status LED bar. Unusual, I may say, because these features are found only...
KingKong Tiny7 review: Tiny Whoop for less
Till I get the genuine one, I thought I would review the King Kong Tiny 7. As you can see in the image above, it is a very good replica of the popular Inductrix FPV.
The ducted propeller design proved to be not just cool but also very safe. When flying indoor or close to people, accidents are almost inevitable....
