Hexacopters

Hexacopters are drones with six motors.

Theoretically, hexa-copters are not just more stable (over four-motor design – quadcopters) but also should offer some redundancy on motor failure.

Usually  hexacopters are used for commercial applications like aerial filming.

Thanks to the six-motor design, they are more powerful allowing greater payload.

HexH2O Pro V2 profesional waterproof drone
HexH2O Pro v2 professional waterproof drone for commercial use Usually I accept for review most of the offered quadcopters. This HexH2O Pro v2, being more expensive than my wife's car, would make me think twice. The predicted price of this marine drone starts from 6000 euro (6449 USD). Quadh2o is a UK based drone company orientated on waterproof multi-rotors. Their first water...

FQ777 126C pocket hexa-copter

FQ777 126C Spider hexa-copter
I own a couple of pocket multi-rotors like this FQ777 126C Spider and frankly, I love them all. I find it very practical that you can store and carry the aircraft inside the remote controller. The transmitter is small enough to fit inside of a larger pocket so you can take with you everywhere and anytime your favorite RC...

JJRC H20C hexacopter review

JJRC H20C eview
Somehow, I missed reviewing the JJRC H20C 's predecessor, which was probably the first affordable mini hexacopter. These two models have approximately the same design but the newer H20C is slightly bigger and comes with a nicer remote controller. Certainly, the onboard camera is the most attractive improvement of the H20C over the older H20. The camera is advertised...

Yuneec Typhoon H with 4K camera

Yuneec Typhoon H hecacopter
Yuneec Typhoon H with collision avoidance When Yuneec reveled its incredibly Typhoon H hexa-copter at CES 2016, everyone was amazed by its capability to avoid obstacles. Contrary, I was more impressed by the capability of Yuneec Typhoon H to land even if one motor fails. Typhoon H’s six-rotor design automatically switches to five rotor mode in case one motor fails allowing to remain in air and have a...

LiDi RC L6F hexacopter: Six motors are better than four?

LiDi RC L6F review
Since I started my journey in the world of multi-rotors I hesitated to make reviews on hexas, don't ask me why because I can't specify any real reason. It looks like 2016 changed my appetite because this LiDi RC L6F will be the second hexa copter that I reviewed this month :). Theoretically, hexacopters have all the benefits of motors...

Fayee FY805 micro: Tiniest hexacopter

Fayee FY805 hexacopter review
Hexacopters like this Fayee FY805 offer greater stability compared to the 4-motor design (or at least it is supposed to be). But sadly, each concept has its advantages and disadvantages. More parts mean a higher chance of failure. After I received this tiny toy I was curious how it performs so I tested it immediately. I had the misfortune of...
