SYMA X5UW quadcopter review
In my opinion, the Syma X5 series is one of the most popular entry-level quadcopter families and I bet that this year the SYMA X5UW will be found under many Christmas trees. I think the nice candy red color will make it attractive even for girls :)
My quadcopter addiction started about three years ago when I purchased my first drone,...

Yuneec Q500 4k vs DJI Phantom 3
Frankly, I would have preferred to compare the Yuneec Typhoon H with the Phantom 4, but life isn't that generous; I own "only" this Yuneec Q500 4K and DJI Phantom 3 Advanced (for the moment >:)). Lately, I found many quadcopter reviews and comparisons made by ones that didn't even see in reality the product. In my opinion, it...

HGLRC Sector132 review: 2 in 1 FPV drone
In my in-depth HGLRC Sector132 review I will reveal to you all the advantages and drawbacks of this hybrid Cinema-Freestyle FPV drone. Maybe it’s not the cheapest, fastest or smallest, but it’s probably the most flexible FPV platform. It features removable blade protectors which allows easy conversion from a CineWhoop into a veritable Freestyle drone, 3/4S battery compatibility, and...
XK DETECT X380: A cheap DJI Phantom alternative
I received some useful critiques on the RC Groups forum regarding my previous quadcopter review and thanks for this. I kindly ask all my readers, in case they find incorrect facts or just some mistyped words in my XK X380 review or in any of my articles to notice me. I never claimed that I'm a professional writer or a quadcopter specialist but I'm...
Eachine H8 Mini drone: A true fun for beginners
As I remember, I paid $60 for my first multi-rotor. I never thought a quadcopter could be much cheaper until I learned about this Eachine H8 Mini that costs only $13.99. Yes, I didn't mistype the price, and yes, the prices include free shipping. If you don't believe me you can check by yourself on Banggood's website.
Before the H8...

MINIWARE ES15: The Screw Neuralyzer
The MINIWARE ES15 electronic screwdriver has a cool design that reminds me of the Neuralyzer from the Man in Black movie. It is made from shiny stainless steel, and it has about the size of the epic memory eraser tool from MiB.
As an avid DIY enthusiast who builds and repairs drones with weekly regularity, I can confidently say that...
FlyFish-RC Volador VD5 review: Frame kit for O3 Air Unit
Our FlyFish-RC Volador VD5 review covers building instructions, user experience, and flight performance. With the release of the new DJI Air Unit O3, FPV hobbyists started to look for compatible frames. FlyFish-RC has four suitable frames, two 5" (True-X and Dead Cat) and two 6" (True-X and Dead Cat). I opted for the deadcat-style configuration because there are no...
Syma X8W: Big DJI Phone like drone with WiFi FPV
I tested lately a lot of small and beginner quadcopters and finally, I received a bigger one, the Syma X8W, which is probably one of the best mid-range quadcopters. Small quadcopters are good for indoor fun, beginner pilots, practicing, etc. The mid-sized quadcopters are an intermediate step to professional ones as they can do almost all the tricks and...
