First Quadcopter

I read somewhere that XK Innovations is a "deluxe" division of WLToys. Certainly, on first look, the XK X252 quadcopter has a pretty nice design and comes with many features. Only its attractive price is apart from a "deluxe" product so I'm expecting to discover about this quad only positive things during my review. The XK brand started to become popular with its...

Eachine Pioneer E350 - The new Phantom killer ? Finally, after several racing models, Eachine surprised us with a nice cruising quadcopter. This Eachine Pioneer E350 equipped with a GoPro or Xiaomi camera looks just perfect for aerial filming. In order to allow smooth and vibration free videos this quadcopter is equipped with a 2-axis brushless gimbal. The design of this Eachine model...

Recomandations for my first drone Greetings and Salutations !!! Love your website and videos !!!! This 55 year old father of 2 is desperately looking to buy his FIRST quadcopter. Unfortunately, I've never operated anything that is RC so I know I need something easy. At the advice of someone on an RC forum, I bought a Eachine H8 Mini. I was told its...

XBM-55 (aka T-Smart) quadcopter with altitude hold and one key take off/land Certainly, WiFI FPV is one of the most handy first person view solution because it can easily be implemented and accepts as FPV display almost any mobile device. In order to be in trend, this XBM-55 T-Smart drone features a 720P WiFI FPV camera. In my opinion, the designers of this XBM-55 were deeply inspired by...

Hubsan H111D world's first mini FPV quadcopter Since I started the FirstQuadcopter.com blog I wrote about many Hubsan models in the quadcopter news section but till now I have not had the chance to review one. I was extremely happy when one of my partners offered me this Hubsan H111D for review especially that it's a very new model on the market so I will be...

Walkera Goggle 4 in-depth review with pros and cons Just published my first FPV goggles review and I already have here on my desk another model. On first impression, this Walkera Goggle 4 looks much better so I'm hopping that will perform also better, especially that is not the cheapest FPV goggles on the market. Walkera announced their FPV Goggle 4 series in two versions,...

Cheerson CX-10WD - the smallest quadcopter with altitude hold and WiFi FPV This new Pokémon GO craziness, as I saw in a YouTube video, end it up with some dude trying to hunt them using a mini quadcopter just like this Cheerson CX-10WD. Frankly, I don't know how he came up with this stupid idea. He probably opted for this...

As many other quadcopter manufacturer, YiZhan decided to upgrade their product line with altitude hold feature. The YiZhan i8H quadcopter's flight controller is equipped with barometric air-pressure sensor which allows the aircraft to autonomously keep stable the flying altitude. This is a great feature especially if you want to use your quad for aerial filming. Taking into consideration the design of the i8H I...

Cheap FPV goggles with built-in 5.8G receiver from KDS Model Currently there is a large variety of FPV goggles on the market, from cheap ones like this KDS Kylin to very expensive ones that can cost even $ 700. Being not too familiarized with FPV goggles I wanted firstly to test something cheap in order to see if it's worth to invest more in a...

Huanqi H899 quadcopter for aerial filming Just returned from my one week holiday I started to look for new quadcopters and I came across this Huanqi H899 drone. The manufacturer advertises this model to be powerful enough to lift GoPro and alike action cameras. Of course, this can be possible but frankly I would not have the confidence to hang my $ 450 GoPro Hero...
