FPV backpack for racing drones by Think Thank
If you are an FPV fanatic, you already know that one racing quad is never enough. Don't mention the other accessories (FPV glasses, spare batteries, etc.). This is why I like the concept of this FPV Session Backpack, it can fit up to 4 racing quads (150 - 280 mm ones), transmitters, propellers, and a lot of other stuff.

XK X252 Shuttle quadcopter review
I read somewhere that XK Innovations is a "deluxe" division of WLToys. Indeed, on first look, the XK X252 quadcopter has a pretty nice design and comes with many features. Only its attractive price is apart from a "deluxe" product, so I'm expecting to discover only positive things about this quad during my review.
The XK brand started to become...
KingKong Tiny7 review: Tiny Whoop for less
Till I get the genuine one, I thought I would review the King Kong Tiny 7. As you can see in the image above, it is a very good replica of the popular Inductrix FPV.
The ducted propeller design proved to be not just cool but also very safe. When flying indoor or close to people, accidents are almost inevitable....
KDS Kylin FPV Goggles for the mass
Currently there is a large variety of FPV goggles on the market, from cheap ones like this KDS Kylin to very expensive ones that can cost even $ 700. Being not too familiar with FPV goggles I wanted firstly to test something cheap in order to see if it's worth investing more in a high-end model. This is the reason...
FQ777-124 Pocket quadcopter
FQ777-124 the ultimate micro quadcopter
Micro quadcopters like this FQ777-124 are appreciated because they are affordable and very portable. For newbies I always recommend to buy something not expensive and easy to fly. Crashes always happen and it's not a good idea to hit the ground with a $999 DJI Phantom 3.
There are many small quadcopters on the market that are sold very well because they are accesible to every one, they...
Syma X5sC-1: Stylish Drone for Beginners
All the kids are now back to school, and the parents (ok probably only the dads :)) will have more time to play with their favorite remote-controlled toys. Yesterday was my 6-year-old son's first school day, he looks very enthusiastic, I'm curious if he will continue this way until he graduates college. We had a few agitated days with...
Foxeer Legend 1: Lightweight camera for drones
It seems I have reached the end of my small form-factor camera road map. This Foxeer Legend 1 is the last model from the "Mobius family" which I have to review. It will definitely be hard for this Foxeer camera to fight with the features of the new RunCam 2.
In my opinion, the biggest challenge of the FPV camera manufacturers...
FPV Airport Backpack for racing fanatics
In my opinion, the most important goal of the FPV backpack manufacturers is to design a product that fits any racing quadcopter. Nevertheless, if you want to fit inside more than one drone, the challenge is even bigger. At first impression, the FPV Airport Helipak by ThinkThank is not just very customizable but also comfortable.
Thanks to the wide range of products,...
RunCam Owl Plus camera review
Everyone probably knows that owl's eyes are large to improve efficiency, especially under extremely low light conditions. This is why RunCam equipped their Owl Plus StarLight camera with a larger image sensor. While their other FPV cameras have smaller 1/3" image sensors, the RunCam Owl Plus has a 1/2" sensor. A larger sensor means bigger pixels, which results in better light sensitivity....
FlyPro XEagle review
The first time I read the news about this FlyPro XEagle quadcopter, I was pretty impressed. I liked the idea, but at the same time, I was afraid that it was another born-dead Kickstarter project. Last week, I had the pleasure of reading the FlyPro XEagle Sport review made by another fellow (Bo Lorentzen - FPVGuy), in which he confirmed...
Blackview Hero 1: A cheap GoPro alternative
These kinds of action cameras, like the Blackview Hero 1 are beneficial also for everyday activities as well as for outdoor sports. As they are very lightweight, they can be suitable for installing on a quadcopter for capturing amazing aerial videos and photos.
Everything started with GoPro cameras which were the first to have very good image quality and enough...
