First Quadcopter

These days everyone has at least one smartphone in their pocket which can be used as a 5.8G FPV display along with this Eachine ROTG02 Android FPV receiver. Of course, due to its higher latency, it can not completely replace a dedicated FPV monitor/goggle. Personally, I find the Eachine ROTG02 more useful as a second FPV display. My son loves...

Like the popular JJRC H37, this C-me also claims to be the perfect selfie drone. The C-me quadcopter comes with topnotch features, in addition to the compact foldable design. Few years ago, GPS positioning system on drones under $100 seemed to be unbelievable. Now, Cme features not just GPS but also barometric air-pressure sensor for stabling indoor flights. On front...

Here, on FirstQuadcopter.com we already wrote about many drones with weird design. We had flying frogs, flying eggs, even flying Santa Claus :). Now, it is time to introduce two more flying animals: the SKYSTARS FlyPiggy and the Helifar Turtles. Both FPV drones are based on the popular F3 flight controller. According to your flying skills you can pilot on Air, Horizon or...

Five years ago I started my journey in the world of multi-rotors with a Syma X5C. At that time it was the first affordable drone. GoolRC X5C follows its epic design while bringing new features like headless mode and on key return to home. According to the manufacturer's specs, the 500 mAh battery allows about 5 minutes of flight time. In...

I often got the question "which is the best drone to buy under $150", my usual answer is depending on what you look for. If you want a racing drone you should skip over this review, but if you need a nice cruising drone with full HD camera and GPS positioning system, the JJPRO X3 HAX is a good choice. Last...

It's pretty amazing how quickly drones have progressed from expensive, but with limited functionalities, to affordable models with top-notch features. Whether you are a newbie or skilled FPV pilot you can find pretty nice quadcopters for less than 200 bucks. What you decide to spend on your first drone should be determined by how much you are willing to lose....

Last week when I wrote the news about Eachine QX65, I accidentally came across this Eachine Wizard TS215 drone. It is Eachine's latest and probably their best racing drone ever. It comes with the versatile F4 flight controller, 1200TVL camera and 72 channel VTX. In addition, Eachine includes an on-board DVR which allows to record the journey of your flights. Eachine...

Evan if we introduced the Phantom 3 Standard 3 years ago, it is still a good entry level drone with plenty of nice features. As it has become discontinued by DJI, you can find it only from some third-party retailers. Now, during flash sale, you can grab one from TomTop for 372.67 euro. Admittedly, at that time I was a bit confused...

With the size of 52 x 52 cm, the FEILUN FX137 can be considered quite large drone. Unlike most of the toy drones, the motors are mounted under the arm (up-side-down) instead above the arms. Due to this design approach, propellers are closer to the ground, thus may hit the grass. Headless flight mode allows beginner pilots to give up worrying...

DYS, a popular brush-less motor manufacturer, just announced their micro-sized FPV quadcopter called Shark-Mako. Frankly, it is quite a funny name for a drone. DYS Shark-Mako 100mm can be ordered in RTF (in bundle with RC) and BNF (with FrSky D8 receiver, but no transmitter). Both variants are available in gray and orange colors. Like the Blade Torrent and KingKong ET125,...
