Like most professional-grade FPV drones, the GEPRC ROCKET Plus also comes with on-board DJI FPV Air Unit. There is also a cheaper version with Caddx Vista HD called ROCKET Lite. Both digital video transmission systems use the same type of DJI camera with a 1/3.2” CMOS image sensor. Thanks to its TinyWhoop alike blade protectors, the GEPRC ROCKET can be...

With limited manual video control, the Mavic Mini is considered, rather than a toy, a truly flying camera for professional work. Many say that ND filters are completely useless for this drone, but then why are there so many options available? For this review, I am focusing on Skyreat’s Mavic Mini ND filter pack. I will start with some introduction...

Last year, DJI announced their first digital FPV system ecosystem which promised to provide the ultimate first-person view experience. DJI’s FPV system has 4 main parts: camera, VTX, goggles, and a remote controller. The biggest problem of their FPV Air Unit was its large size and weight, which makes it difficult to use it in smaller drones. While the...

Even the JJRC H86 Jokull is advertised with a 4K camera for sure will not have the image quality as good as the Mavic Mini which has an “only” 2.7K camera. Video quality is more than just about resolution, are more important factors like sensor size, lens quality, frame rate, and if the camera is mechanically stabilized. But frankly,...

Since I received my Mavic Mini for review, I had more than 7 hours of pleasant flights. In this time I made more than 50th successful flights with a total distance of 64Km. I flew with confidence over rivers, lakes, forests, and roads. I did range tests, battery life tests, wind resistance tests, and everything went fine till yesterday’s...

Since DJI released their ultra-compact Mavic Mini drone, many complaints were regarding the lack of self-unlock of blue authorization zones and activity tracking features. Think about how frustrating can be to pay $399 for a drone that can not even take-off from your yard. DJI Support has stated that they expect to have the self-unlock feature released in a late...
