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...
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...
Foxeer Legend 3 review: 4K FPV at decent price
While many drone camera manufacturers moved to cubic shape, Foxeer Legend 3 sees the return of the candybar form factor that Mobius debuted a few years ago. Don't be afraid, the old design is paired with UHD 4K video recording, which is a must-have in 2017.
When it comes to racing quad-copters, it is very hard to find a proper...
DJI Avata and O3 Air Unit Filter kit from K&F
If you want cinematic-like smooth footage with natural motion blur, you must slow down the DJI AVATA or O3 Air Unit shutter speed. In order to do this, you will need a good set of ND filters. By reducing unwanted reflections, a CPL filter can enhance your video quality when you fly over water surfaces. K&F Concept's Avata filter...

A soldering iron is a...
Elegoo PLA: Cheap 3D filament for big projects
I mostly printed drone parts in my last filament reviews, so I decided to try something else this time. Using Elegoo PLA filament, I printed a vertical modular hydroponic tower system for plants. My wife was happy to find out that she would always have fresh herbs at home.
Hydroponic tower gardens are becoming popular, especially among urban gardeners, due...

Ultra Durable water-proof ELRS receiver from DarwinFPV
Regarding FPV drone parts that are waterproof or water-resistant, it's important to note that, while some components like this DarwinFPV Cement ELRS receiver might have a certain level of protection against moisture, truly waterproof FPV components are relatively rare due to the nature of the electronic components involved. Water resistance can be particularly useful if you plan to fly...
Eachine QX70 review: Nice concept but underpowered
As I said in one of my recent reviews, during cold winter days, I prefer smaller FPV drones like this Eachine QX70. Adopting ducted propellers, they are totally "harmless" for indoor practice. Even my curios cat is safe with them :)
This "ducted" madness started with the Tiny Whoop, whose biggest downside was the high price. Later, manufacturers like Eachine...

It is responsible for receiving signals from the drone flight controller and converting them into motor commands by adjusting the amount of power delivered to the motor's coil. In this review, we will have a closer look at...
