DM002 drone review: Dirty cheap and easy to build
Recently, I received the DM002 quadcopter for tests, a Chinese RC toy quite entertaining at an attractive price. I assembled it and played around with it, and now it is time to write my review, of course at the end of which I will draw the conclusions.
As I previously mentioned many times, the fact that a drone comes in parts should...
JJPRO X2 brushless quad for newbies
JJPRO JJRC X2 - cheap drone with brushless motors
Following the success of their first brushless quadcopter, JJRC announced this weekend a new model called JJPRO X2. Compared to its predecessor, this X2 drone comes with headless flight mode but still doesn't feature altitude hold.
The JJRC X1 was the first brushless quadcopter under $100. I reviewed that model by myself and I...
FPV Airport Backpack for racing fanatics
In my opinion, the most important goal of the FPV backpack manufacturers is to design a product that fits any racing quadcopter. Nevertheless, if you want to fit inside more than one drone, the challenge is even bigger. At first impression, the FPV Airport Helipak by ThinkThank is not just very customizable but also comfortable.
Thanks to the wide range of products,...

ASUAV RS220 Awesome FPV Racer
Permeants ASUAV RS220 racing quadcopter with FPV camera
As we are in late winter, it is time to switch from indoor drones to outdoor FPV racing drones like this Awesome ASUAV RS220.
When it comes to first-time pilots, speed is not everything, they need durable drones. Based on my experience, carbon-fiber frames has better chance to survive nasty crashes than nylon ones. Thanks...
Eachine Flyingfrog Q90 FPV quadcopter
Eachine Q90 drone with F3 flight controller and 1000TVL FPV camera
After the invasion of ducted drones, Eachine returned to the classic propeller protectors. The Eachine FlyingFrog Q90 adopts a nice frog alike design.
According to your existing transmitter, you can opt between 3 RX/TX protocols (FrSky, Flysky or DSM2). The RX module is advertised with small size, so it is not integrated...
Tablet and FPV screen chest harness review
At the time I started my journey in the world of quadcopters I didn't have thought about the utility of such a device as this tablet harness.
Later, when I evolved to FPV quadcopters and more intelligent drones, it became clear that I needed something to hang my FPV LCD or Tablet (ground station) on my chest. Mounting my Samsung...

Eachine QX70 review: Nice concept but underpowered
As I said in one of my recent reviews, during cold winter days, I prefer smaller FPV drones like this Eachine QX70. Adopting ducted propellers, they are totally "harmless" for indoor practice. Even my curios cat is safe with them :)
This "ducted" madness started with the Tiny Whoop, whose biggest downside was the high price. Later, manufacturers like Eachine...
Cheerson TINY CX-95S and CX-95W FPV quads
Cheerson CX-95S & CX-95W, micro FPV quadcopters with ducted propellers
Honestly I like the idea that Cheerson's new micro FPV series comes in parts and you have to assemble it. While the Cheerson CX-95S comes with F3 flight controller and DSM receiver (no TX included), the cheaper Cheerson CX-95W comes with their own flight controller and a toyish remote controller. Definitely, if I would request to review one of these two drones, I will...
