FPV 2 axis brushless gimbal on a budget
First of all, cheap does not necessarily mean poor quality... OK, not all the time:). The popularity of the FPV 2-axis gimbal is the best proof of this fact.
Lets talk a bit about what means exactly a gimbal and why we need such a device. A "Gimbal" has roughly two main functions: to keep the camera steady and to...
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...
XK DETECT X380: A cheap DJI Phantom alternative
I received some useful critiques on the RC Groups forum regarding my previous quadcopter review and thanks for this. I kindly ask all my readers, in case they find incorrect facts or just some mistyped words in my XK X380 review or in any of my articles to notice me. I never claimed that I'm a professional writer or a quadcopter specialist but I'm...
DJI Phantom 3 Advanced: My first DJI drone
After almost two years of flying with more or less toy quadcopters, I finally got my hand on a DJI Phantom 3 Advanced. I was so thrilled that my wife asked what it was with me. As I already had another quadcopter on my desk waiting for review, I had to leave the box unopened for a whole week....
JJRC X1 quadcopter review
I started my journey in the world of quadcopters with a cheap brushed drone because, at that time, it didn't exist affordable brushless models like this JJRC X1. Based on my experience, the biggest problem with the cheaper brushed DC motors is that after only 10-15 flights they burn out.
When it comes to cheap models, I consider that it is enough to...
Litchi APP for DJI Phantom, Mavic and Inspire drones
I heard for the first time about the Litchi APP 6 months ago when I reviewed the Phantom 3 Advanced quadcopter. At that time I wanted to learn how to pilot the quad through the DJI GO APP because I was reticent with third-party applications. Later, I read that APPs like Litchi enable some pretty cool features unavailable on...
Eachine TX01 and TX02 micro FPV camera review
A few weeks ago, when I reviewed Eachine's first AIO FPV camera, I was surprised by its small size. Now they did it again, the Eachine TX01 and TX02 are even smaller. These two new FPV cameras are specially designed for small brushed drones. Through the TX01 FPV camera, it seems that finally Eachine managed to offer a direct competitor for the popular FX797T...
Cheerson CX-10W: Micro drone with WIFI camera
Yesterday, when I received the Cheerson CX-10W for review and I saw the size of the package, I knew it would be my shortest review and useless to make an unboxing video :)
The CX-10W is the 3rd generation of the Cheerson Hobby mini quadcopter series. The first model of this series, the CX10, was revealed about two years ago....
Eachine E10C Mini quadcopter review
Visually, there are not too many differences between the Eachine E10C mini quad and the Cheerson CX-10C. Guys from Eachine probably copied 1:1 the design of the aircraft. To make the E10C quadcopter (aka Pro Cam) more attractive than its contender, the manufacturer equipped this little aircraft with an HD 720P camera instead of a low-res VGA one.
Lately, mini quadcopters have...
Cheerson CX-35 quadcopter review
A few weeks ago, when I introduced this Cheerson CX-35 on my blog's quadcopter news section, it was probably the first affordable FPV quad with altitude-hold. Now, it is time to have a closer look at this CX-35 quad-copter and evaluate its performance. I promise that I will try to cover in my review the most important aspects like flight...
Walkera F210 quadcopter review
I know that I'm a bit delayed with the review of the Walkera F210 because this model was announced at the end of 2015. Lately, Walkera announced a new upgraded version called F210 3D with inverted flight mode.
After their popular Runner 250 Advanced, last year Walkera announced a bigger model (Furious 320), which looks just like a flying tank...
