ELEGOO MARS 2 PRO review: My first 3D printer
I think there is no drone pilot that at least once didn't need urgently a 3D printed part or accessory. No one can contest how convenient (fast and cost-effective) is to make your own camera mount in the comfort of your own garage instead of ordering on eBay. The ELEGOO MARS 2 PRO is the first-ever 3D printer I...
ZHIYUN CRANE-M2S: Must-have gimbal for vlogging and travel
ZHIYUN's latest all-around vlogging gimbal, the CRANE-M2S is positioned between the Crane-M2 and the Crane-M3. The M2S has a great balance between camera compatibility, features, and price. High-end smartphones like the iPhone 13 Pro Max comes with built-in image stabilization (OIS) that promises close to tripod-level stability. So why do you still need a gimbal when you have a...

Hydroponic tower gardens are becoming popular, especially among urban gardeners, due...
JHEMCU GF30F722-ICM: Most affordable F7 flight controller
A few months ago, I built an iFlight Nazgul5 V3 FPV drone, and being on a tight budget, I looked for a cheap but versatile flight controller (FC).

F7 flight controllers...

When I read for the first time about the ZHIYUN Crane M3, I decided that this is the gimbal I need. In the last two years, I reviewed about 10 gimbals but none completely fulfilled my needs. For vlogging, you need a stabilizer that is compact, lightweight, can be operated by one hand, and is compatible with a wide...
