First Quadcopter

Lately I introduced many mini drones with ducted props, but this Warlark Pro will be the first which features penta-blade propellers. Frankly, I would be curious to test one because till now I was totally disappointed by all props over 3-blades. They are much more noisy. According to your existing transmitter you can opt between 3 type of radio receivers: A-DSMX/2, B-SFHSS/FRSKY...

α Cam quadcopter with intelligent flight modes At first look, the Alpha Cam drone seems to be a very serious competitor for the DJI Spark and Yuneec Breeze. Like most of the actual selfie drones it comes with 4K UHD video resolution. According to the specs, the α Cam drone can stay aloft for up to 20 minutes and thanks to the included second...

Surely, the Eachine DustX58 is not just one of the smallest brushless FPV racing quadcopter but also the lightest. It weights only 25 grams (without battery) and has 58mm wheelbase (rotor to opposite rotor size). Unlike other Eachine mini FPV drones, this DustX58 comes only with FrSky radio. Paired with the X9D Plus transmitter you will have about 200 meters...

About a month ago I introduced this Eachine V-tail QX110 drone in the news section and now it is time for an in-depth review of this nice and versatile mini racer. Compared to other micro FPV drones that I recently reviewed, the Eachine QX110 comes with an OSD, buzzer, and status LED bar. Unusual, I may say, because these features are found only...

Based on my good experience with the Yi 2 camera, I decided to accept Flora's guest post about the Xiaomi Mi 4K drone to be published here on FirstQuadcopter. In March, Xiaomi released the 4k version drone, there’s a HD camera on it. And I just fly it just several days ago, and I will let you know what my feelings. It’s easy to fly, with...

Phantom 4 Advanced with top-notch video performance Few days before Easter DJI has officially announced a new member of their quadcopter family – Phantom 4 Advanced. Let's discover what brings new and if it's worth to upgrade. In my opinion, like the Phantom 3 Advanced, this P4A was also developed in order to offer an affordable alternative to the "Pro" edition. This time DJI kept...

Till I get the genuine one, I thought I would review the King Kong Tiny 7. As you can see in the image above, it is a very good replica of the popular Inductrix FPV. The ducted propeller design proved to be not just cool but also very safe. When flying indoor or close to people, accidents are almost inevitable....

I went for a walk recently in the nearest forest, excited to enjoy some fresh spring air and beautiful flowering trees. In one pocket I had my smartphone. In another, I had a mini-quadcopter, the new Cheerson CX-17. I like these small drones because you can take them everywhere with you - to the park or even to the office....

Last week, most of the drone related publications were invaded with the leaked images of the DJI Spark drone. DJI's new drone is also called by the enthusiasts the "Mavic Mini". With Yuneec Breeze and other compact portable drones sold under $500, this new DJI quadcopter has to be priced at a similar level in order for them to cover this market segment too. Frankly, I'm very exited about this...

HELIWAY 902HS - Lego alike building brick drone In my opinion the building bricks concept of the HELIWAY 902HS is really nice because it doubles the fun. Kids can learn not just to operate a drone but also to build their own. This cheap DIY KIT includes everything you need to build a flying machine, from motors, flight controller, battery, to the remote controller....
