First Quadcopter

Thanks to the fold-able arms, the DA MING DM107S drone is very portable. When is folded, it measures only 17 X 14.5 X 6 cm. In front of the aircraft is located a 2MP camera which allows to take photos as well as record videos. Using your smartphone you can display the camera's live video feed. For such a small drone, DA...

After the flying egg, here is the first flying cube. In the folded position, you would not think that the FQ777 FQ26 is capable of flying. It looks like a cube with four fans. Can be easily confused with an electronic alarm clock or something like that :D FUQI Models announced this "Miracle" drone in two variants. While the FQ26-TX...

With animal figures, the Cheerson CX-41 aka "Happy Zoo" is one of the most friendly drone for kids. Not only its nice design but also its many cool features makes the CX-41 a perfect gift under the Christmas tree. Cheerson announced the CX41 with five different figures. Kids can opt for: pig, rabbit, bear, monkey or owl. The altitude hold feature...

It's only October of 2017, but many drone brands started to announce their new models for 2018. Diatone's GT-R90 is a micro sized FPV drone equipped with powerful brushless motors and topnotch FPV system. Instead of an all-in-one approach, Diatone opted for a tower design with 3 layers (flight controller, ESC and VTX). Built around the versatile F4 flight controller, the Diatone 2018...

XK Innovation, a well known drone brand just announced their first mini drone with optical flow sensor. The XK X150-W quadcopter also features barometric air-pressure sensor. Thanks to these two sensors it can auto-hover perfectly stable. In front of the tiny aircraft is located the 1Mp camera with WiFi real-time image transmission. The XK X150-W can be controlled through the included transmitter or...

Till now I wrote many news about micro Tiny Whoop alternatives but the DROCON U818PLUS will be the first large drone with ducted propellers. The generous blade protectors have multiple advantages. Surely, the most important thing is the increased safety. Spinning propellers can produce serious damages if they bump into something. Drocon advertises the U818A Plus with 15 minutes flight time....

Frankly, being my first Li-Po review, I didn't know how to start it. I took the Tattu R-line 4s 1300 mAh battery in my hand several times hoping for inspiration. Nothing, it was like holding a banal brick. Then, I realized that without the Li-Po technology drones could have not evolved this fast. The biggest advantage of lithium polymer...

Advertised with top speed of 170 Km/h, the GEPRC Sparrow GEP-MX3 is certainly not a learn-to-fly drone. You need serious piloting skills to hold in check this mini racing quadcopter. Crashes are inevitable even for pro pilots, but thanks to the 3K carbon fiber frame and aluminium alloy canopy the Sparrow GEP-MX3 should survive in light impacts. Instead of a no-name FPV camera, GEPRC opted...

Following the success of Visuo, Eachine also announced their own Mavic Pro clone. The E58 follows similar foldable design as the much expensive DJI drone. Of course, the specifications are much poorer and comes with less reliable brushed motors instead of brush-less ones. Thanks to the barometric air-pressure sensor, the Eachine E58 quadcopter is capable to autonomously maintain its flight altitude...

Finally, Syma came up with their first GPS quadcopter. In order to allow precise auto return to home (RTH), the Syma X8PRO is equipped with high accuracy GPS positioning system. Syma's X8 line became very popular because it was between the first cheap drones able to lift GoPro and alike action cameras. Like its predecessor (read my X8SW review), the X8Pro's...
