According to the advertised specs, the UTI I37GPS drone is powered by a 2s/1800mAh LiPo battery and it has up to 17 minutes...

The FiMI A3 will be the first Xiaomi drone reviewed at FirstQuadcopter.com. From its announcement day I wanted to test it personally. I liked the idea that adopts analogue 5.8G FPV instead of WiFi FPV. We are proud being between the first drone blogs selected to make an in-depth review of the FiMI A3 quadcopter. My plan is to record...

Despite its small size, the BetaFPV Beta85X is a very promising FPV drone. It features Tiny Whoop alike design and super fast 6000KV brushless motors.

When it comes to beginner pilots, especially if they are kids, I highly recommend to start with ultra cheap easy to control drones like this Eachine E016H. In addition to the newbie friendly features, it has cage type blade protectors which make the aircraft safe to use even by children. No manufacturer can guaranty that their drone is indestructible. Many toy...

A great way to get kids interested in drones is giving them a cheap mini drone like the Eachine E61HW. As crashes are inevitable, starting with an expensive model is not a good idea. It would be at least disappointing seeing a 1000$ quadcopter hitting a wall after only few minutes of flight. Also, larger drones may be dangerous in...

Moreover, it supports 3s as well as 4s LI-PO batteries. At the end of each arm there is a 3750KV brushless motor paired with a transparent 3-leaf propeller. The motors are driven by...

In 2018, the XS812 was one the most popular GPS drone under $100. I loved it from the first flight. It has pretty cool foldable design and its GPS positioning feature works very well. Unfortunately, after few crashes, the fun has gone. A broken arm, damaged motor or missing propeller can make you throw it into the trash can. Luckily, TIANQU offers...
