First Quadcopter

Bored from the usual design? Here comes the 415B drone, a flying ball. Not too conventional, not very aerodynamic, but pretty cool. Foldable drones became quickly popular because they are extremely portable. You can take them with you almost everywhere. While the unfolded 415B measures 17.8 x 17.8 x 8.5 cm, when it's folded into a ball shape it measures only 8.5...

Surely, the FuriBee GT 220MM Fire Dancer is not just beautiful, but thanks to the 5 mm thick carbon fiber arms also very durable. The 960H CCD camera and flight controller are well protected by a aluminium alloy canopy. Build around the versatile OmniBus F4 flight controller the FuriBee GT 220MM is configurable with multiple flight modes. While newbies can opt for...

When it comes to micro drones, it is very hard to find a camera that is small and light enough to fit in. Measuring 15 x 15 mm and weighing only 4.09 grams, the Eachine C600T camera can be lifted by very small drones. At the moment, basically, there are two approaches in the design of FPV cameras, "all-in-one" (one device,...

Kingkong, my favorite TinyWhoop alternative manufacturer, announced a new brushed family with 3 different sized drones called ET Series. All 3 versions (ET125, ET115 and ET100) are available with 3 different radio receivers. According to your existing transmitter you can opt between: Frsky XM, Flysky FS-RX2A and Spektrum DSM2 receivers. In front of the aircraft is located the OV231 800TVL camera,...

Syma, a well known toy drone manufacturer, recently announced the X22W - a wannabe selfie drone. Excepting the small size and built-in WiFi FPV camera, there is nothing like the JJRC H37 aka the first sElfie Drone. Featuring altitude-hold, the Syma X22W is capable to autonomously maintain its flight altitude at the desired level. Headless flight mode is another feature...

Reaching speeds only up to 20 km per hour, the Mirarobot S60 drone will not win any race but for sure is a good start for newbies. Allowing to switch between 3 and 6 axis stabilized mode, they can accommodate not just with the basic flight movements but also can learn to do some flip tricks. As I can understand from...

After long absence, Hubsan is back with a compact racing quad-copter called H122D X4 Storm. Being a new model, there is a bit chaos regarding the exact features of the Hubsan H122D. Hubsan announced the H122D Storm in two variants. Basic package without fpv display and a deluxe package with included 4.3" FPV monitor and compatible FPV goggle. Based on my experience...

As lately most of the drones can be purchased in BNF package (without RC), multi-protocol transmitters like the Jumper T8SG can save you lots of money and space. Why should you buy every drone with its own remote controller when you already have one compatible with most of the popular radio protocols. Jumper T8SG Multi-Protocol is the first commercially manufactured transmitter...

Like I promised last week, here I am with the next Drocon drone, the Cyclone X708W. Compared to the Bugs 6, the Drocon Cyclone X708W is a basic model with brushed models and limited functionalities. When it comes to beginners I suggest not to invest a lot of money into something they can crash at first flight. Sold for only $55,...

Today I will review the Walkera Rodeo 110, a micro-scale brushless FPV quadcopter. Compared to larger FPV drones, the Rodeo 110 is suitable for outdoor as well as for indoor flights. While doing some research for my Walkera Rodeo 110 review, I read somewhere that its camera is capable of recording HD videos, which is a big lie. To keep...
