XBM-55 WIFI first person view drone
XBM-55 (aka T-Smart) quadcopter with altitude hold and one key take off/land
Certainly, WiFI FPV is one of the most handy first person view solution because it can easily be implemented and accepts as FPV display almost any mobile device. In order to be in trend, this XBM-55 T-Smart drone features a 720P WiFI FPV camera.
In my opinion, the designers of this XBM-55 were deeply inspired by...
YiZhan i8H upgraded flying spider
As many other quadcopter manufacturer, YiZhan decided to upgrade their product line with altitude hold feature. The YiZhan i8H quadcopter's flight controller is equipped with barometric air-pressure sensor which allows the aircraft to autonomously keep stable the flying altitude. This is a great feature especially if you want to use your quad for aerial filming.
Taking into consideration the design of the i8H I...
Huanqi H899 cheap quadcopter for GoPro
Huanqi H899 quadcopter for aerial filming
Just returned from my one week holiday I started to look for new quadcopters and I came across this Huanqi H899 drone.
The manufacturer advertises this model to be powerful enough to lift GoPro and alike action cameras. Of course, this can be possible but frankly I would not have the confidence to hang my $ 450 GoPro Hero...
IDEA-FLY Mars 350 quadcopter for GoPro
Idea-Fly Mars 350 - poor man's Phantom quad
Till this Mars 350, Idea-Fly had other nice quadcopters but none succeeded to become popular and frankly I don't now exactly why. It could be something like weak marketing or poor after market support.
In the age of DJI Phantom 4, the features of Idea-Fly Mars 350 seem to be from the dinosaurs era. Without offering fancy features like...
FQ777 FQ11W mini foldable quad
The biggest innovation of this FQ11W over the older FQ777 models is the foldable arms. If I remember correctly, FQ777 was among the first manufacturers who offered truly pocket drones. In my opinion, it is a great idea to store the quad inside the remote controller.
Unlike its predecessors, this FQ777 FQ11W features a WiFI FPV camera which allows real-time...

Thanks to this feature the aircraft is capable to maintain its flight altitude stable at the desired level.

Floureon Racer 250 cheap racer with FPV
I came across this Floureon Racer 250 racing quadcopter while I looked for the latest quadcopter news. Although I'm swamped preparing my baggage for a long weekend trip, I didn't want to miss saying a few words about this cheap racing quadcopter. So far I knew that Floureon manufactures only micro quadcopters, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out...
Walkera Goggle 4 FPV glasses
After the high-end and expensive Goggle3, it was time for Walkera to come up with something more affordable. This new Walkera Goggle 4 has a much friendly price than its predecessor.
Walkera advertises this model with AV input/output but in my opinion, it would have been more appropriate to integrate an HDMI input. Professional models like DJI Phantom 4 allows connecting...

JJRC H11WH quadcopter with alt hold
JJRC H11WH with WiFi first person view camera
This new JJRC quad was announced few weeks ago simultaneously on many online quadcopter shops. In my opinion, thanks to the newbie orientated features (headless mode and altitude hold) this JJRC H11WH looks just perfect for beginner pilots.
While the design of the H11WH reminds me about another JJRC quad, the X1, the transmitter...
