ExpressLRS Recovery Dongle (FTDI USB to TTL)
BetaFPV was among the first drone brands that joined the ExpressLRS team by adopting their high-performance Open Source Radio Control Link.

XK X252 Shuttle quadcopter review
I read somewhere that XK Innovations is a "deluxe" division of WLToys. Indeed, 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 only positive things about this quad during my review.
The XK brand started to become...
BetaFPV 1506 3000KV motor review: Perfect for CineWhoops
A few months ago, I tested the BetaFPV Pavo 30, a very capable CineWhoop. Unfortunately, I needed to replace the flight controller and two of the motors due to an accident. While the stock motors were 3400KV, I found as a replacement only these BetaFPV 1506 3000KV ones.
Brushless motors in the drone world are marked with a 4- digit...
DJI Avata and O3 Air Unit Filter kit from K&F
If you want cinematic-like smooth footage with natural motion blur, you must slow down the DJI AVATA or O3 Air Unit shutter speed. In order to do this, you will need a good set of ND filters.

HOBBYMATE D6 Elite review: More than a drone charger
In the past, chargers were very basic electronic devices. I remember that ones I tried to repair one and I found inside only a couple of resistors and diodes. Compared to those old charges, the HobbyMate D6 Elite is a very versatile hi-tech gear. In addition to the fact that allows charging almost any type of rechargeable batteries (multi-chemistry),...
Eachine LCD5802S: FPV monitor with built-in diversity receiver
Yesterday, I had my first FPV flight using this Eachine LCD5802S screen, and it performed very well. It was a great sunny autumn day with beautiful colors, just perfect for going out and playing with my new "toys". I had an awesome 15-minute fight with my X380 Quad equipped with a 2D Gimbal, RunCam HD camera and 600mW 5.8G...
VIFLY Cam Switcher review: Two FPV cameras on one drone
In a nutshell the VIFLY Cam Switcher is a tiny device which allows you to toggle between two video inputs remotely from your transmitter. For example, in addition to the frontal camera you will be able to install a second camera on rear of the belly. If you search on YouTube for "CheaterKwad" you will find some really cool...
Insta360 GO review: A tiny camera in the word of drones
The Insta360 GO is a twenty-gram steady camera which you can love or hate from the first usage. Maybe you could feel restrained by its limited features but, if you learn how to use it, it will be a great companion for lots of activities.
Doing some research about Insta360’s product range and who they are, I found out the...

Insta360 GO 2 Review: Still tiny, but more versatile
The Insta360 GO 2 is a tiny camera that you can mount on almost any size of FPV drone, allowing you to capture high-quality stabilized videos. Insta360 wanted to provide a super-light wearable clip-on camera that allows capturing your every day's best moments with the original GO. It fits into your pocket just like your AirPods. Combined with the...

Most of the reviews have concluded that the Yi 4K is an excellent action camera with superior image quality. Even when the Xiaomi Yi 4K was put in a side-by-side comparison with the more expensive GoPro 5 Hero, it excelled.
