KaiDeng K130 Alpha review: Eggs can fly!
A few weeks ago I already introduced the KaiDeng K130 Alpha drone in the news section, and now it is time for an in-depth review with pros and cons.
Frankly, at first look I do not understand the meaning of the EGG design because it is not aerodynamically shaped.
This EGG drone was announced by Kai Deng in two variants. While...
Syma X8W: Big DJI Phone like drone with WiFi FPV
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...
DJI Phantom 3 case by Realacc
After you pay about $ 1000 for a quadcopter, you will want to carry and store your precious toy in the safest possible way. In my opinion, a hard case like this Realacc is the best solution for transporting your Phantom 3 quadcopter when you are traveling by car.
Until now, I stored my Phantom 3 Advanced in its original...
FEILUN FX176C2 review: Always flies back to you
Frankly, how could FeiLun expect to remember a drone name like "FX176C2". If copy/paste actions would have not exist, I could not write my FEILUN FX176C2 review :D
Many toy drones claim to offer "One key Return to Home" feature. Without a Global Positioning System (GPS), this feature can't work accurate enough, practically the drone is just trying to guess...
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....
Tattu 4s 1800mah 75C LiPo: Extra flight time for FPV drones
Today we’re going to find out how long it takes to charge the Tattu 4s 1800mah 75c and what the real world flight time is, in comparison to 1300 mAh batteries which are more common for racing drones.
When it comes to racing quadcopters, flight time is not as important as it is in the case of cruising drones. More...
Insta360 GO review: A tiny camera in the word of drones
The Insta360 GO is a twenty-gram steady camera which you can love or hate from the first usage. Maybe you could feel restrained by its limited features but, if you learn how to use it, it will be a great companion for lots of activities.
Doing some research about Insta360’s product range and who they are, I found out the...
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...
HAKRC Storm32: Cheapest drone gimbal for GoPro
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...
Hawkeye Thumb: Ultra Light 4K camera for FPV drones
At first look, the Hawkeye 4K Thumb camera is an excellent choice for those that find the GoPro too big or expensive but still what to record stabilized UHD videos. Weighting just 15.5 grams, it can be installed on almost any drone size. In the case of micro FPV drones, Gyroflow stabilization is a real alternative to built-in electronic...
Fullsend 6S 6000mAh Li-Ion: Holy Grail of long range FPV
Lithium-ion or Li-ion batteries generally have a higher energy density than other battery chemistries, including LiPo. This means that Li-ion packs can store more energy in the same physical size, allowing longer flight times and increased range. For example, by comparison, the iFlight Fullsend 6S 6000mAh weighs just 608 grams, and a LIPO battery with the same power weighs...
