JJRC H20C hexacopter review
Somehow, I missed reviewing the JJRC H20C 's predecessor, which was probably the first affordable mini hexacopter. These two models have approximately the same design but the newer H20C is slightly bigger and comes with a nicer remote controller. Certainly, the onboard camera is the most attractive improvement of the H20C over the older H20. The camera is advertised...
Syma X13 Miracle review
Syma X13 Miracle mini quadcopter
I started my journey in the world of quadcopters with probably the most successful Syma model, the X5C. At that time I opted for that multi-rotor instead of other ones because it seemed reliable and affordable. The time has proven that it was a good choice so I ordered with confidence this new Syma X13...
LiDi RC L6F hexacopter: Six motors are better than four?
Since I started my journey in the world of multi-rotors I hesitated to make reviews on hexas, don't ask me why because I can't specify any real reason. It looks like 2016 changed my appetite because this LiDi RC L6F will be the second hexa copter that I reviewed this month :).
Theoretically, hexacopters have all the benefits of motors...
Eachine E33W review: Basic drone for newbies
Last month, Eachine announced two new entry-level drones, this E33W and another one with foldable arms. When it comes to beginners I always recommend starting with small and inexpensive multi-rotors.
Eachine E33 is offered in two variants, one without a camera and one with a WiFi FPV camera. Indeed, for an extra $12, the fact that you can record the...
RunCam HD camera: Born for RC fanatics
Having many quadcopters it's very hard to find a camera that fits all models, especially in terms of weight. With only 41g, the RunCam HD camera seems suitable for most of my Quads. Thanks to the low weight and aerodynamic form factor that firstly was introduced by Mobius and after that adopted by other manufacturers like RunCam, you can...
JJRC H23 drone car in-depth review
Recently, JJRC announced their H23 drone car. It is basically the SY X25 but with a much nicer design. Notably, both models can be easily switched from ground to air operation. Practically you can drive the JJRC H23 like a car and then fly it like any other drone. The kids will love this feature for sure.
The 2-in-1 concept offered by...
Cheerson CX-17 Cricket quadcopter review
I went for a walk recently in the nearest forest, excited to enjoy some fresh spring air and beautiful flowering trees. In one pocket I had my smartphone. In another, I had a mini-quadcopter, the new Cheerson CX-17.
I like these small drones because you can take them everywhere with you - to the park or even to the office....
Keecoo quadcopter camera review
There are several small cameras on the market, so why Keecoo and not GoPro or other similar action cameras?
I want it something cheap, lightweight, with good video quality and decent battery life. My plan was to use the same camera for hobbyist aerial filming and first-person view flights. Of course, for FPV, I needed a camera with AV-out.
GoPro cameras...
Eachine E30W quadcopter review
Eachine is a very popular quadcopter and FPV accessories manufacturer among RC enthusiasts. Over time, they released many cheap models like this Eachine E30W but also some pretty cool racer quadcopters. I also tested and reviewed their 7 " FPV screen which proved to have good quality at a reasonable price.
If you are a Pro, you should probably skip...
Fayee FY805 micro: Tiniest hexacopter
Hexacopters like this Fayee FY805 offer greater stability compared to the 4-motor design (or at least it is supposed to be). But sadly, each concept has its advantages and disadvantages. More parts mean a higher chance of failure. After I received this tiny toy I was curious how it performs so I tested it immediately. I had the misfortune of...
Hawkeye FireFly 5S: A budged GoPro alternative for drone pilots
There are many action cameras like this FireFly 5s on the market, and it is tough to evaluate them only by the specs. Most are very similar, based on the same hardware just sold under different "brand" names. What I have first learned regarding these Chinese GoPro clones is that the number of megapixels does not count too much in...
