Walkera Rodeo 110 review: Best mini FPV quadcopter?
Today I will review the Walkera Rodeo 110, a micro-scale brushless FPV quadcopter. Compared to larger FPV drones, the Rodeo 110 is suitable for outdoor as well as for indoor flights.
While doing some research for my Walkera Rodeo 110 review, I read somewhere that its camera is capable of recording HD videos, which is a big lie. To keep...
HOBBYMATE D6 Elite review: More than a drone charger
In the past, chargers were very basic electronic devices. I remember that ones I tried to repair one and I found inside only a couple of resistors and diodes. Compared to those old charges, the HobbyMate D6 Elite is a very versatile hi-tech gear. In addition to the fact that allows charging almost any type of rechargeable batteries (multi-chemistry),...
Aomway 1/3 camera review: CCD, 650TVL, OSD and Mic
With the Aomway 1/3 CCD 650TVL, you get more than a simple camera. Its OSD allows you to monitor the elapsed flight time and battery voltage. Frankly, in the case of FPV flights, these two are the most important telemetry information. It is critical to know if you have enough craft to return and land.
Aomway was founded in 2011 and,...

DJI O3 Air Unit Waterproof case from DarwinFPV

FiMI Palm review: Best 4K pocket gimbal under $200?
In order to begin my review honestly, we must admit that the FiMI Palm is not an innovative game-changer product. DJI released such pocket gimbal with even better specs one year earlier before Xiaomi. At a glance, the only pros of the FiMI Palm over the Osmo Pocket is its much-friendly price tag. But, if you dive deeper into...

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...
SUNLU AntiString PLA filament for high quality 3D prints
Stringing is a common 3D printing problem that can be annoying when you want quality results without post-finishing. To solve the root of the problem, SUNLU came on the market with the first AntiString PLA filament, an upgraded version of the regular PLA filament.
Stringing occurs mainly when the extruder moves between two different locations; during that move, the filament...
MEPS SZ F7 HD: Easy to wire high-performance flight controller
Here at FirstQuadcopter, we start 2024 with a flight controller review. The MEPS SZ F7 HD is the company's second FC we tested. Both have similar features, mainly just the mounting pattern difference. The smaller 20x20mm is suitable for compact 3-5" CineWhoop drones, and the bigger 30x30mm for 5-9" freestyling and long-range FPV drones.
The flight controller is one of...
