GTENG T908W review: Wannabee DIY drone
GTENG T908W it is advertised as to be a DIY quadcopter but, if you ask me, it is more like a modular drone. You don't need to solder or something like this, just put together the main parts and you are ready to fly.
In my opinion, the fact that a drone can be easily split into parts should not...
Eachine E51 review: Foldable drone for newbies
Hi, and welcome back. The Eachine E51 review is my fifth article on FirstQuadcopter.com. Traditionally, I will try to reveal as much information as possible about this Eachine E51 selfie drone. Of course, not just the good stuff, the bad ones as well.
Over the last few years, Eachine has become one of the most active players in the toy drone market....
Aomway 1/3 camera review: CCD, 650TVL, OSD and Mic
With the Aomway 1/3 CCD 650TVL, you get more than a simple camera. Its OSD allows you to monitor the elapsed flight time and battery voltage. Frankly, in the case of FPV flights, these two are the most important telemetry information. It is critical to know if you have enough craft to return and land.
Aomway was founded in 2011 and,...
GoolRC T32 review: Nice learn to fly drone
The era of flying selfies is right around the corner; cheap drones like the GoolRC T32 are announced weekly. Maybe these toys are not perfect like the expensive DJI products yet, but technology is rapidly developing in this area and I'm sure that soon everyone will afford his personal flying camera.
GoolRC T32 follows the basic concept of the JJRC...
Redpawz R010 review: Speedy Whoop
A couple of days ago, I received to test and review the Redpawz R010, a mini quadcopter with ducted propellers. Although the basic design was first introduced by Blade Inductrix, Tiny Whoop was the one who made the concept famous.
The design not only offers improved efficiency of the propellers but also makes the aircraft very safe for children. The...
KaiDeng K130 Alpha review: Eggs can fly!
A few weeks ago I already introduced the KaiDeng K130 Alpha drone in the news section, and now it is time for an in-depth review with pros and cons.
Frankly, at first look I do not understand the meaning of the EGG design because it is not aerodynamically shaped.
This EGG drone was announced by Kai Deng in two variants. While...
Cheerson CX-OF review: Unmatched hovering stability
In the past, mini drones were nice but with no fancy features. Now, the Cheerson CX-OF, with an optical-flow sensor and intelligent flight modes, changes the rules. Of course, besides all these, it's equipped with a WiFi FPV camera, which allows you to enjoy first-person view flying using your smartphone.
The CX-OF is a great successor of Cheerson Hobby's CX-10 Nano...
Eachine E31HW review: Mixed flight performance
Quadcopters may be getting smaller and more affordable than ever, but few can say they are perfect. At first look, Eachine E31HW is a simple, easy-to-fly drone that is capable of taking photos and videos. Hopefully, at the end of my review, the list of pros will be longer than the list of cons.
Eachine announced the E31 series in 3...
Foxeer HS1177 V2 review: Better housing, improved electronics
Foxeer's XAT600M classic FPV camera gets new skin and some extras. The upgraded Foxeer HS1177 V2 has a metal case and wider input voltage. To be trendy, the camera is available in 3 colors (orange, blue, and black).
The First edition of the HS1177 camera, due to its low weight and good image quality has quickly become popular among professional FPV pilots...
Eachine TX01S camera review: Good range, Flexibility in mounting
The Eachine TX01S camera is specially designed for mini FPV drones like the TinyWhoop where space and weight is critical. Due to its modular design, the TX01S VTX camera can also be successfully used on low-profile aircraft.
At first look, except for the nice price tag, the most significant advantage of this combo camera over purchasing separately a camera and 5.8G VTX is...
Foxeer Legend 3 review: 4K FPV at decent price
While many drone camera manufacturers moved to cubic shape, Foxeer Legend 3 sees the return of the candybar form factor that Mobius debuted a few years ago. Don't be afraid, the old design is paired with UHD 4K video recording, which is a must-have in 2017.
When it comes to racing quad-copters, it is very hard to find a proper...
