Cheerson CX-17 Cricket quadcopter review
I went for a walk recently in the nearest forest, excited to enjoy some fresh spring air and beautiful flowering trees. In one pocket I had my smartphone. In another, I had a mini-quadcopter, the new Cheerson CX-17.
I like these small drones because you can take them everywhere with you - to the park or even to the office....
Eachine E33W review: Basic drone for newbies
Last month, Eachine announced two new entry-level drones, this E33W and another one with foldable arms. When it comes to beginners I always recommend starting with small and inexpensive multi-rotors.
Eachine E33 is offered in two variants, one without a camera and one with a WiFi FPV camera. Indeed, for an extra $12, the fact that you can record the...
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...
Eachine DVR03 review: Camera, VTX, Antenna and DVR
Eachine DVR03 FPV camera with integrated DVR (video recorder)
At first, impression, adding video recording feature to an FPV camera sounds very good. Using the Eachine DVR03 camera you will not need any additional device to capture the journey of your flight. Yes, this is great, but think about you crash on a river and your videos are gone.
Over the last...
DM002 drone review: Dirty cheap and easy to build
Recently, I received the DM002 quadcopter for tests, a Chinese RC toy quite entertaining at an attractive price. I assembled it and played around with it, and now it is time to write my review, of course at the end of which I will draw the conclusions.
As I previously mentioned many times, the fact that a drone comes in parts should...
FPV Airport Backpack for racing fanatics
In my opinion, the most important goal of the FPV backpack manufacturers is to design a product that fits any racing quadcopter. Nevertheless, if you want to fit inside more than one drone, the challenge is even bigger. At first impression, the FPV Airport Helipak by ThinkThank is not just very customizable but also comfortable.
Thanks to the wide range of products,...
Tablet and FPV screen chest harness review
At the time I started my journey in the world of quadcopters I didn't have thought about the utility of such a device as this tablet harness.
Later, when I evolved to FPV quadcopters and more intelligent drones, it became clear that I needed something to hang my FPV LCD or Tablet (ground station) on my chest. Mounting my Samsung...
Eachine QX70 review: Nice concept but underpowered
As I said in one of my recent reviews, during cold winter days, I prefer smaller FPV drones like this Eachine QX70. Adopting ducted propellers, they are totally "harmless" for indoor practice. Even my curios cat is safe with them :)
This "ducted" madness started with the Tiny Whoop, whose biggest downside was the high price. Later, manufacturers like Eachine...
Eachine FB90 review: Testing the “Fatbee”
Lately, due to unfavorable weather for outdoor flights, I started to play indoors with my micro FPV drones. Luckily, this month, I got another three models for review, including this Eachine Fatbee FB90. Honestly, among all the micro FPV quads, FB90 has a much more friendly design.
Unlike most of the mini brushed FPV drones which are powered by 1s batteries, the Fatbee...
HobbyMate Q100 review: Build and Test
During winter days, when outside is -15ºC, you can't find the mood to play outdoors with your favorite racing drone. Luckily, micro brushed quads like this HobbyMate Q100 are great for replacing outdoor fun with an indoor one. The advantage of this model over dirty cheap toy drones is the versatile and programmable flight controller.
After I reviewed many RTF packages, I liked the idea that the...
XBM-55 review: Nice design and lots of features
Yesterday, my wife came home with a package. I was not waiting for any quadcopter but out of boringness I immediately opened the box. Surprise! It was the T-Smart XBM-55. I was waiting to receive this drone for review for about two months and honestly, I thought it was never sent or the package got lost so I completely...
