Z1-Evolution 3-Axis Gimbal review
I know this Zhiyun Z1-Evolution is not a 100% drone-related gadget, but if you want to make product reviews, you will need such a device. Usually, I record my maiden flights with a smartphone or with a head-mounted action camera. I always wanted a professional alternative but didn't have the time to analyze the possibilities. For example, it is...
RunCam PZ0420M camera review
Most of the TVL security cams can also be used as first-person view cameras and few of them are even cheaper than the RunCam PZ0420M. Even so, I thought that it would be more appropriate to use a dedicated camera to build my FPV system. When you are looking for an FPV camera you should decide firstly the following:...
Eachine LCD5802S: FPV monitor with built-in diversity receiver
Yesterday, I had my first FPV flight using this Eachine LCD5802S screen, and it performed very well. It was a great sunny autumn day with beautiful colors, just perfect for going out and playing with my new "toys". I had an awesome 15-minute fight with my X380 Quad equipped with a 2D Gimbal, RunCam HD camera and 600mW 5.8G...
RunCam HD camera: Born for RC fanatics
Having many quadcopters it's very hard to find a camera that fits all models, especially in terms of weight. With only 41g, the RunCam HD camera seems suitable for most of my Quads. Thanks to the low weight and aerodynamic form factor that firstly was introduced by Mobius and after that adopted by other manufacturers like RunCam, you can...
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...
EKOO S090 mini quadcopter camera
I have more than five mid sized quadcopters with stock cameras from 0.3 to 5MP, honestly there is not much image quality difference between them. Lots of times it happened to go outside an play with one of my quad and at the end, when I wanted to download the pictures, I realized that I either forgot to put in the...
Airport Helipak backpack for DJI Phantom drones
Can one backpack be fit for all your gadgets (DSLR and GoPro camera, Laptop, and quadcopter)? Until I found out about Think Thank Photo's new Phantom Airport Helipak, I did not think this is possible.
I started my journey in the world of quadcopters one year ago, and till now I haven't thought to do anything about solving the quadcopter...
Keecoo quadcopter camera review
There are several small cameras on the market, so why Keecoo and not GoPro or other similar action cameras?
I want it something cheap, lightweight, with good video quality and decent battery life. My plan was to use the same camera for hobbyist aerial filming and first-person view flights. Of course, for FPV, I needed a camera with AV-out.
GoPro cameras...
GoPro Hero4 best camera for quadcopters
GoPro Hero4 - the most advanced camera for quadcopters!
This new GoPro camera brings a lot of new features that professional aerial videographers have been begging for.
GoPro Hero4 Black is the flagship of the Hero series. It looks almost identical to the older Hero 3+ Black but it's what's inside that meters.
Like the older model, it has also 4K video support but with double video frame rate....
