GW008 Mini Skull quadcopter - Scare in the air This type of gadgets like the GW008 Mini Skull quadcopter, are a very good choice for a present, even a Christmas one. I'm sure all kids, especially boys, love this kind of remote controlled toys that are inspired by Halloween figures like for example skulls. Lately, these mini quadcopters became quite accessible and more and more...

This DYS X230 is their latest product announced at the end of October and it claims to be a very good racing quadcopter. The advertised control range is 1KM, witch is probably far enough for most of us. To achieve this long...

I first read about this CX-33W a few weeks ago and because of its unique design, it was hard for me to tag it. It has only 3 arms instead of 4, as usual for quadcopters, so I should call it a tri-copter? No, it is not that simple because it has motors and propellers on each side of the...

Ehang GhostDrone 2.0 with 4K camera and VR glasses Few minutes ago a new professional quadcotper was listed on BG's website. The Ehang Ghost 2.0 Avatar will be available in 4 different versions. The most expensive model together with a VR  goggles will provide an ultimate flight experience. Through the VR glasses can be set also the tilt angle of the camera...

Eachine LCD5802S 5.8GHz 7" LCD with diversity Yesterday I had my first FPV flight using this Eachine LCD5802S screen and it performed very well. It was a great autumn Sunday, with perfect colors, lots of sun, just perfect for going out and playing with my new "toys". I had an awesome 15 minutes fight with my X380 Quad equipped with a 2D Gimbal, RunCam HD camera and 600mW...

XK Detect X380 Firmware, driver and ground station As I'm a XK Detect X380 owner I thought it would be very useful to gather all the important files related to this quadcopter (like:firmware, drivers and tools). I'm also planning to add to this post gimbal and FPV connection diagrams and other useful details, guides and tutorials related to the X380. I promise that I will try to...

Pocket quadcopters like this DHD D1 are appreciated because they are affordable and extremely portable. For beginners, I always recommend starting with small and inexpensive models. Crashes always happen and it’s not a good idea to throw out the window a $500 model. There are many interesting micro quadcopters on the market and is a tough decision, especially for newbies, which one worth more. On...

RunCam HD quadcopter camera - Born for RC fanatics Having many quadcopters it's very hard to find a camera that fits all models especially in terms of weight. With only 41g the RunCam HD camera seems to be suitable for most of my Quads. Thanks to the low weight and aerodynamic form factor, that firstly was introduced by Mobius and after that adopted by other manufacturers like...

NIHUI TOYS U807 quadcopter with HD camera My first opinion when I saw this quadcopter was to skip over it but finally I decided that this NIHUI TOYS U807 worth at least to mention few words about it in my quadcopter news section. These kind of cheap Chinese quadcopters have a poor reputation about their reliability. Battery and motor failures may appear after only few...

Ten years ago it seemed unimaginable to play with such a small multi-rotor like this Cheerson CX-10C. Now we can purchase nano and micro quadcopters for $10-$20. These small remote-controlled toys became popular very quickly because they are extremely affordable, portable, and easy to fly. When I purchased my first nano quadcopter, one of my colleagues asked me "OK, that is so small but does...
