MINI V8 camera: DJI Action 2 alternative? Hell NO!
The Tisi MINI V8 is a DJI Action 2 size 4K action camera with impressive specifications that weighs less than 60 grams. Its small size attracted my attention because it is easy to install on FPV drones. As the only review found on this unknown camera was made by Tedward from Canada and he gave 5 stars, I decided...
Happymodel EP1 Dual ELRS Receiver: True Diversity!
The Happymodel EP1 is the first ELRS-enabled true diversity radio receiver. It aims to provide the best range even in difficult conditions. Happymodel EP1 has two antennas and two radio modules for doubling the signal quality. In theory, "Diversity" uses at the time only one antenna by toggling to the antenna that has the strongest signal. The EP1 uses...
Volador II VD6: FPV drone build with easy
A few years ago, building your FPV drone was complicated and time-consuming. Putting parts from five different brands into a frame and making them work together required a lot of research. Now, thanks to names such as Joshua Bardwell, Oscar Liang, ELRS, BetaFlight, FlyFish-RC, RushFPV, DJI, and others, it's all become much more straightforward.
Before building the Volador II VD6...
Master Airscrew 9″ propellers for Long-Range FPV drones
Last week, I built a long-range FPV drone using the Chimera 9 ECO frame, and while researching the required components, I came across Master Airscrew, a US brand with a tradition in propeller manufacturing. So far, I have only used HQprop, Dalrop, and Gemfan propellers, and although they never disappointed me, I was curious to test if these 9"...
K&F Concept DJI MINI 4 Pro filters: Solid performance at best price
The MINI 4 Pro is DJI's latest sub-250g camera drone and, despite its compact size, has earned a reputation for delivering exceptional aerial photography and videography. However, to truly unlock its potential, high-quality filters are essential for managing exposure and creating more dynamic images. This review focuses on the DJI MINI 4 Pro K&F Concept filters, analyzing their performance,...
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...
2s vs 3s LiPo battery: Which one is better for mini FPV drones?
Last week, I received two Li-Po batteries for review from Gens Ace. The Tattu 2s 800 mAh and Tattu 3s 450 mAh. Firstly, I thought about making an individual test of each battery, but later I found it more helpful to make a side-by-side comparison of them.
Both Li-Po batteries suit micro-class FPV drones like the Blade Torrent 110 and...
VISUO XS812 review: A good GPS camera drone under $100
From the day of its announcement was obvious that the VISUO XS812 aims to be the perfect drone for people who are looking for a low-cost introduction in flying and shooting aerial videos.
Just like its predecessor, the VISUO XS812 also follows the Mavic's cool foldable design. This second generation Visuo drone brings GPS positioning system and longer flight time. Practically,...
Creative Osmo Action accessories (hands-on review)
Last month I had the chance to review the Osmo Action camera. After the usually image quality analysis I wanted to check its native waterproofness by putting it in a dishwasher machine. For the test, besides some mounting accessories, I needed a self-powered waterproof light. Checking the market for the necessary gears I came across Ulanzi, a very promising...
BetaFPV Pavo30 review: 3″ CineWhoop under 250g
I tested tons of FPV drones in the last few years, but this Pavo30 will be the first with the BetaFPV logo. I like playing with CineWhoops and I wanted to get one in my hand since the first rumors. My BetaFPV Pavo30 review covers initial setup, binding instructions, and flight experience.
Established in February 2017, BetaFPV is a relatively...
RadioMaster Zorro review – Conquer the Sky!
From my point of view, the selling point of the RadioMaster Zorro transmitter is its big screen. When you are over 40 years old, you are losing the focusing ability for near vision and due to that, the lens inside your eye becomes less flexible. My actual radio controller has a small LCD that makes the configuration part quite...
