JJRC H37 Elfie quadcopter review

JJRC H37 Elfie review
Usually, selfie drones like this JJRC H37 Elfie are very expensive gadgets. Although the design of the JJRC Elfie is very similar to the one ZeroTech Dobby has, they are from a completely different league. Is a bit exaggerated to categorize the H37 as a selfie quadcopter. In 2016, most of the major drone manufactures, like Yuneec and DJI, announced...

F450 Flame Wheel with APM 2.8 FC: My First DIY Quadcopter

F450 my first DIY Quadcopter
My son is always willing to help me in building or disassembling any kind of stuff, so he was very enthusiastic when I told him about the plan to build a quadcopter from scratch (OK, almost from scratch). His only complaint was why we didn't build an octa-copter or at least a hexacopter. I promised him that if this...

HAKRC Storm32: Cheapest drone gimbal for GoPro

HAKRC Storm32 review
You can have the best quadcopter camera of the moment but, without being accompanied by a steady brushless gimbal at least like this HAKRC Storm32, is very hard to capture some nice and smooth aerial videos. According to the number of installed brushless motors, the camera gimbals can be categorized into 1, 2, or 3-axis gimbals. A 2-axis gimbal is not necessarily worse than a 3-axis...

Eachine E010 Mini quadcopter review

Eachine E010 review
At the time when the Eachine E010 Mini was announced everyone was curious if it could beat in terms of features and specs the Blade Inductrix or the Tiny Whoop (TW). Especially because the E010 Mini is sold for a fraction of their price. Although the above-mentioned mini quadcopters have approximately the same design, only the TW features an FPV...

Syma X8W: Big DJI Phone like drone with WiFi FPV

Syma X8W review
I tested lately a lot of small and beginner quadcopters and finally, I received a bigger one, the Syma X8W, which is probably one of the best mid-range quadcopters. Small quadcopters are good for indoor fun, beginner pilots, practicing, etc. The mid-sized quadcopters are an intermediate step to professional ones as they can do almost all the tricks and...

Eachine Tiny QX95 micro FPV drone review

Eachine Q95 review
After many brushless racing quadcopters, I thought that it would be nice to review a micro brushed quadcopter like this Eachine Tiny QX95. In my opinion, these little RC toys are not just cheaper but also somehow more practical than the powerful brushed quads. For example, this Eachine QX 95 weighs only 56g which makes it suitable for indoor flights. Bumping into...

Tarantula X6 drone: The big flying flying spider

Tarantula X6
I got this new quadcopter last Friday, but only today I had the time and the proper mood to write about it and make my Tarantula X6 review. Hearing the word "Tarantula", my thoughts immediately go to a spooky hairy spider. The engineers from JJRC tried to imitate the face of a spider in the cockpit design, and I think...

Syma X8SW review: Best budget drone in 2016?

Syma X8SW drone review
Through X8SW, it seems that Syma ends a good year with a good quadcopter. Although I was in the winter holiday rush, I was truly happy to be among the first ones to test and review the Syma X8SW. Over the last years, I reviewed many Syma quadcopters, and I can say that their nice design is paired with excellent...

Runner 250 Advance racing quadcopter review

Runner 250 Advance 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...

Kaideng K80 Pantonma quadcopter review

KaiDeng K80 Pantonma review
Frankly, when I firstly watched the promo video of this Kaideng K80 Pantonma drone I was a bit skeptical regarding all its amazing features. The obstacle avoidance feature seemed to be less credible for such a cheap toy. To discover the real capabilities of this drone, I decided to test and review the KD K80 quadcopter by myself. Compared to its predecessors (K70 Sky Warrior,...

DM002 drone review: Dirty cheap and easy to build

DM002 DIY drone review
Recently, I received the DM002 quadcopter for tests, a Chinese RC toy quite entertaining at an attractive price. I assembled it and played around with it, and now it is time to write my review, of course at the end of which I will draw the conclusions. As I previously mentioned many times, the fact that a drone comes in parts should...
