CNHL LI-ION 4S 3200mAh: For Long-Range and not-so!
Initially, LI-ION battery packs for long-range drones were homemade by hobbyists. They connected 4 or 6 cells serially to achieve the desired voltage. Sony VTC6 18650 batteries were used the most due to their excellent reliability. Panasonic and Samsung LI-ION proved to perform well also. In this review, we will have a closer look at the CNHL LI-ION 4S...
Eachine E57 drone review: So thin that it can slip everywhere
All kidding aside, even if it's ultra-thin, the Eachine E57 probably will not be able to sneak under any door. When it's folded, the thickness of the fuselage is below 1 cm, but you know it is very hard to fly this way :). With motors in the flight position, the height of the E57 is about 28 mm.
Toy-grade...
SKRC Q16 quadcopter review
After many "high-end" quadcopter reviews, it was time to test something more affordable, the SKRC Q16. This model was announced about 4 weeks ago by an unknown Chinese manufacturer (at least for me) called "ShengKai".
Basically, the design of the SKRC Q16 reminds me of the Syma X5C, which was my first quadcopter. Lately, I have read many negative comments regarding...
DHD D1 pocket quadcopter review
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...
Cheerson CX-10W: Micro drone with WIFI camera
Yesterday, when I received the Cheerson CX-10W for review and I saw the size of the package, I knew it would be my shortest review and useless to make an unboxing video :)
The CX-10W is the 3rd generation of the Cheerson Hobby mini quadcopter series. The first model of this series, the CX10, was revealed about two years ago....
Cheerson CX-10C: A tiny drone with onboard camera
Ten years ago, playing with such a small multi-rotor like this Cheerson CX-10C seemed unimaginable. Now, we can purchase nano and micro quadcopters for $10-$20. These small remote-controlled toys became popular 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...
Eachine E10C Mini quadcopter review
Visually, there are not too many differences between the Eachine E10C mini quad and the Cheerson CX-10C. Guys from Eachine probably copied 1:1 the design of the aircraft. To make the E10C quadcopter (aka Pro Cam) more attractive than its contender, the manufacturer equipped this little aircraft with an HD 720P camera instead of a low-res VGA one.
Lately, mini quadcopters have...
