LiftOff review: The drone simulator – Learn & train under lockdown
My son was only 4 years when I started with FirstQuadcopter.com, so he grew with drones around him. Due to this fact, he lost or didn't even develop an interest in RC toys. This is somehow understandable seeing his 40 years old dad playing with drones for such a long time.
Now, he is 10 years old and he's a...
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...
MEPS SZ2207: Are these FPV motors better than company’s reputation?
The SZ2207 will be the second FPV motor from MEPS reviewed here on FirstQuadcopter. Both motors are intended for 5-6" racing drones. While the SZ2306's stator has 23mm width and 6mm height, the SZ2207's stator is 22 mm/7 mm. The 2207 has a narrower stator width, so you can expect lighter rotational inertia that allows for faster RPM changes,...

Xiaomi FiMI A3 review: Is it worth it?
The FiMI A3 will be the first Xiaomi drone reviewed at FirstQuadcopter.com. From its announcement day I wanted to test it personally. I liked the idea that adopts analogue 5.8G FPV instead of WiFi FPV. We are proud being between the first drone blogs selected to make an in-depth review of the FiMI A3 quadcopter. My plan is to record...

Review: GoPro 12 Creator Edition (Not Sponsored!)
I purchased my first GoPro in 2021 and still own this action camera. I used it on vacations and during sports activities and installed it on my FPV drones. As the latest GoPro Hero 12 Black significantly improved, I thought it was time to upgrade and retire my three-year-old GoPro 10. This year’s big advancement is its superior battery...
Heimvision HMD2 review: Self-powered IP camera
To be honest, firstly I wanted to say pass for Heimvision’s proposal regarding the possibility to test and review their products. I considered that wireless WiFi IP cameras are out of FirstQuadcopter niche. After I checked the specs and features of Heimvision HMD2, I found it helpful for many jobs. Being 100% wire-free, it can be installed easily everywhere,...
