GTeng T909: Wearable FPV watch
Currently, there are several types of FPV displays on the market but the most widespread are the 7" FPV screens and FPV glasses. Frankly, I don't think that gadgets like this GTeng T909 watch can compete with FPV goggles because they are not too practical. I think they can be used more for fun than for truly professional usage.

Eachine Racer 250 PRO review: Nothing like the first edition
Brushless quadcopters aren't cheap, but the Eachine Racer 250 PRO comes at a surprisingly reasonable price of $129.99, considering its nice design and impressive features. Of course, like many budget FPV drones, there are Pros and Cons to the Racer 250 Pro which I'm planning to reveal during my review.
The Eachine Racer 250 PRO drone was announced in two variants, PNP and RTF....
BetaFPV 1506 3000KV motor review: Perfect for CineWhoops
A few months ago, I tested the BetaFPV Pavo 30, a very capable CineWhoop. Unfortunately, I needed to replace the flight controller and two of the motors due to an accident. While the stock motors were 3400KV, I found as a replacement only these BetaFPV 1506 3000KV ones.
Brushless motors in the drone world are marked with a 4- digit...
JHEMCU GF30F722-ICM: Most affordable F7 flight controller
A few months ago, I built an iFlight Nazgul5 V3 FPV drone, and being on a tight budget, I looked for a cheap but versatile flight controller (FC). While most F7 flight controllers from reputable brands such as Diatone, SpeedyBee, RushFPV, HGLRC, or iFlight were priced close to $100, I found this JHEMCU GF30F722-ICM for only $38.

JJRC H31 wannabe waterproof quad
A waterproof quadcopter means that the aircraft can be immersed underwater. Usually, waterproof drones are extremely expensive because they have different designs and require special components. JJRC Toys claims that their $33 H31 quad can be submerged in water and still be able to fly. Honestly, I doubt this thing and I want to test myself on this JJRC...

Freestyle FPV drone frames are designed specifically for freestyle flying, which...
MINIWARE ES15: The Screw Neuralyzer
The MINIWARE ES15 electronic screwdriver has a cool design that reminds me of the Neuralyzer from the Man in Black movie. It is made from shiny stainless steel, and it has about the size of the epic memory eraser tool from MiB.
As an avid DIY enthusiast who builds and repairs drones with weekly regularity, I can confidently say that...
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....
FlyColor Trinx G5 60A ESC: Fierce, Durable & Speedy
An Electronic Speed Controller, or ESC, is a crucial electronic component in battery-powered devices such as drones, RC cars, and other brushless motor systems. Its primary function is to control the speed and direction of the motor by regulating the supplied power. 4-in-1 drone ESCs, like this FlyColor Trinx G5, boast a compact and integrated design, housing four individual...
Floureon Racer 250 test and in-depth review
Last Monday, returning from a short holiday where I took only the DJI Phantom 3 with me, I realized that racing quadcopters is much fun. Next time I will squeeze this Floureon Racer 250 too in my luggage. My flights from this three-day holiday ended with about 10GB of aerial videos. Most of them are boring, useless scenes.
Racing quads...
Master Airscrew 9″ propellers for Long-Range FPV drones
Last week, I built a long-range FPV drone using the Chimera 9 ECO frame, and while researching the required components, I came across Master Airscrew, a US brand with a tradition in propeller manufacturing. So far, I have only used HQprop, Dalrop, and Gemfan propellers, and although they never disappointed me, I was curious to test if these 9"...
