Runner 250 Advance racing quadcopter review
A few weeks ago, I've already introduced this Runner 250 Advance on my website. Ever since it was announced, it seemed like an exciting model. Adding GPS system to a racing quadcopter was an interesting movement from Walkera, although some pilots considered this an unnecessary one.
The previous "Runner 250" model proved to be a very popular racer. In my...
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...

POPDEER S500: A little power horse
The Popdeer S500 offers a storage capacity of 518 Wh and 500W of output power. It is the smallest solar generator in size with these power parameters that I have tested so far. It is almost twice as small as the 300W power station I reviewed last month. Priced around $200, this is a relatively simple unit, but it’s...
VIFLY Finder Drone Buzzer: Never lose your FPV drone again
While most of the FPV drones are already equipped with an on-board buzzer, why do you need such a thing as the VIFLY Finder Drone Buzzer? Let's discover in our review!
Compared to LoS flights, when you have permanently your eye on the drone's position, during FPV flights, you see what the drone sees and you never know the exact...
CNHL 4S 2000mAh & 6S 1500mAh: Long-range FPV LIPOs
For long-range FPV flights, you will need much higher capacity batteries than for freestyling and racing. Commonly, 5" LR FPV drones run on 4S or 6S batteries. You must choose the right battery according to your motor's KV ratings. For example, the CNHL 4S 2000mAh is an excellent option for 2000-3000KV, and the CNHL 6S 1500mAh for 1600-1900kV. The...

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.

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...

Three weeks ago I received for review the Zhiyun Smooth Q handheld gimbal. Prior to write any word about it, I decided to test it in multiple environments.
Firstly, I took it with me on a hiking where I tested its endurance. First few hours were heavy rain, later, at heights over 1,800 meters, rain turned into snow, temperature dropped below...
