Few weeks ago, on FiMI's website, a new banner appeared with the text "Totally Evolved - 10th December 2018". It was the first clue that a new Xiaomi FiMI drone will be announced soon. Unlike its predecessors, the new Xiaomi Fimi X8 SE features foldable design. Let's have a closer look on the first rumors about the Fimi X8 drone!While...

While on paper the Phoota X38GF-4K BLUE KOI drone could look extremely good, without brushless motors is still just a toy. I would be also interested to find out if its 4K camera has effective pixels or it adopts somekind of software interpolation in order to obtain the UHD (3840 x 2160) video resolution.Despite that its being powered by a...

Flying through FPV googles made me always very dizzy. I can't stand to play more than few minutes before my motion sickness kills all the fun. Usually, this time is enough to test FPV equipment, but far less to become a skilled FPV pilot. Last week I came up with the idea to try some FPV drone simulators and, eventually,...

Like most of the FPV racing quads, it will be available in PNP (no radio) and BNF (with FrSky radio) packages.As you can...

FPV drones come now in all shapes and sizes. Today I will introduce you two micro sized ones from SKYSTARS. While the smaller, X86 Ghost Rider, has wheelbase of 86mm, the X120 Ghost Rider has 116mm. Both quadcopters feature Micro F4 flight controller and brushless motors. The price difference between them is less than 2$.There is no much difference between the SKYSTARS X86mm and...

Although there are still two months till end of the year, yesterday DIATONE officially introduced their micro FPV drone fleet for 2019. While the smallest GT R239 (90mm) features uni-body injection modeling frame, the Diatone 2019 GT R249 (95mm), Diatone 2019 GT R249+ (115mm) and Diatone 2019 GT R349 (135mm) have carbon fiber frames.

Although only one year has passed since the first VISUO drone appeared on the market, they quickly became very popular due to their low price and interesting design. At this moment you can find 6 different Visuo drones: XS809 Mini, XS809W, XS809HW Siluroid, XS809S Battles Sharks, XS812 and XS811. While the first 5 models share similar black design, the last one...

While the Blade Scimitar 110 seems to be an upgraded successor of the Torrent 110, it still features only F3 flight controller, not F4 one. In order to make it more aerodynamic, the large Whoop style blade protectors are trimmed. Like in case of its predecessor, all the electric parts are well protected by an injection molded plastic canopy.Out...

The GEPRC Pika seems to be a brilliant 5" FPV racing drone. It has solid 220mm sized carbon fiber frame with top performance components and a minimalist design. The large top plate allows to mount a second GoPro camera in addition to the on-board RunCam Swift Mini 2 FPV camera. It is available in PNP (without receiver) and BNF (with FrSky...
