First Quadcopter

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,...

Excepting the CCD FPV camera, the AURORA RC Stick 200 Pro has all the hardware that you could expect from a pro grade racing quad. It features solid 5mm carbon fiber frame, F4 flight controller and powerful 2300 KV brushless motors. Furthermore, it has an on-board DVR video recorder which allows to capture the journey of your FPV flights. By...

In addition to the nice futuristic design, the Kaifeng KF600 brings some cool features too. Besides the usual stuff (altitude-hold and headless mode) it also features optical flow positioning. While the frontal motors are orientated normally, the rear ones are inverted, making the propellers facing the ground. Due to this approach, the blade guards are as well installed reversely on rear....

As Black Friday & Cyber Monday is less than 2 weeks away and the holiday season slowly creeps upon us, we all started to look for special gifts. This year, Black Friday is on the 23rd of November; however, retailers like Banggood, GeekBuying, and GearBest are already dropping their prices in preparation for the big day. If you do...

While we all are focused on catching a good Black Friday drone deal, new models are coming daily. Today I will reveal the first rumors about the Geprc GEP-CX Cygnet 145mm, a 3" FPV racing drone. Like most FPV racing quads, it will be available in packages of PNP (no radio) and BNF (with FrSky radio). As you can see...

In addition to the super safe design and cool features, the Eachine E016H Mini has very long flying time. According to the advertised specs, the 350mah battery allows up to 8 minutes of flight time. Furthermore, the package includes a second LiPO which doubles the fun :) The E016H Mini drone features fully enclosed detachable protective blade protectors, which make it safe for...

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. All Diatone 2019 GT micro drones will be available in...

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...
