RunCam 2: Lightweight camera built for RC drones
If I count correctly, this RunCam 2 will be the 7th quadcopter camera that I'm been reviewing. Honestly, I haven't yet found a camera that offers brilliant quality at an affordable price. Who knows, being the lucky 7th, this RunCam 2 will be the best camera for me :)
It would be nice to make a side-by-side comparison between this RunCam...
Walkera Goggle 4 review
I just published my first FPV goggles review and I already have here on my desk another model. On first impression, this Walkera Goggle 4 looks much better so I'm hoping that will perform better, especially since that is not the cheapest FPV goggles on the market.
Walkera announced their FPV Goggle 4 series in two versions, a premium one and...
Z1-Evolution 3-Axis Gimbal review
I know this Zhiyun Z1-Evolution is not a 100% drone-related gadget, but if you want to make product reviews, you will need such a device. Usually, I record my maiden flights with a smartphone or with a head-mounted action camera. I always wanted a professional alternative but didn't have the time to analyze the possibilities. For example, it is...
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...
Xiaomi Yi 2 camera in-depth review
Yesterday, out of curiosity I searched with Google for "Xiaomi Yi 2 review". The results were pretty impressive. I found plenty of professional articles about this camera. Most of the reviews have concluded that the Yi 4K is an excellent action camera with superior image quality. Even when the Xiaomi Yi 4K was put in a side-by-side comparison with the more expensive GoPro 5 Hero, it excelled.
Yi...
Feiyu Tech MiNi3D Pro gimbal review
I heard about Feiyu Tech for the first time a few months ago when they announced this MiNi3D Pro 3-axis gimbal. Frankly, at least in photos, it seemed to be a product of high quality. I started to search for more information about it by looking for Feiyu Tech FY MiNi3D reviews and YouTube test videos. I rarely purchase...
RunCam Swift camera review
If I count correctly, this RunCam Swift camera will be the fourth model I have the luck to review from the manufacturer with the slogan "Born for RC fanatics."
From my experience with RunCam, I can say that they respect their customers, which is at least as important as the quality of the products. For example, they always try to...
Hubsan H111D quadcopter review
Since I started the FirstQuadcopter.com blog I wrote about many Hubsan models in the quadcopter news section but till now I have not had the chance to review one. I was extremely happy when one of my partners offered me this Hubsan H111D for review, especially since it's a very new model on the market so I will be among the first people who review...
Yuneec Q500 4k: Big drone with outstanding performance
Yes, I know! How can it be interesting anymore to review the Yuneec Q500 4k, which is a one-year-old model, when the new Phantom 4 has been just revealed?
First of all, this Typhoon Q500 4k is a stable platform that was already tested by many customers and its firmware was improved over time. Don't mention that Yuneec probably has 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...
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...
