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....
LiDi RC L6F hexacopter: Six motors are better than four?
Since I started my journey in the world of multi-rotors I hesitated to make reviews on hexas, don't ask me why because I can't specify any real reason. It looks like 2016 changed my appetite because this LiDi RC L6F will be the second hexa copter that I reviewed this month :).
Theoretically, hexacopters have all the benefits of motors...
Fayee FY805 micro: Tiniest hexacopter
Hexacopters like this Fayee FY805 offer greater stability compared to the 4-motor design (or at least it is supposed to be). But sadly, each concept has its advantages and disadvantages. More parts mean a higher chance of failure. After I received this tiny toy I was curious how it performs so I tested it immediately. I had the misfortune of...
F450 Flame Wheel with APM 2.8 FC: My First DIY Quadcopter
My son is always willing to help me in building or disassembling any kind of stuff, so he was very enthusiastic when I told him about the plan to build a quadcopter from scratch (OK, almost from scratch). His only complaint was why we didn't build an octa-copter or at least a hexacopter. I promised him that if this...
HAKRC Storm32: Cheapest drone gimbal for GoPro
You can have the best quadcopter camera of the moment but, without being accompanied by a steady brushless gimbal at least like this HAKRC Storm32, is very hard to capture some nice and smooth aerial videos.
According to the number of installed brushless motors, the camera gimbals can be categorized into 1, 2, or 3-axis gimbals. A 2-axis gimbal is not necessarily worse than a 3-axis...
JJRC X1 quadcopter review
I started my journey in the world of quadcopters with a cheap brushed drone because, at that time, it didn't exist affordable brushless models like this JJRC X1. Based on my experience, the biggest problem with the cheaper brushed DC motors is that after only 10-15 flights they burn out.
When it comes to cheap models, I consider that it is enough to...
Feiyu Tech MiNi3D Pro gimbal review
I heard about Feiyu Tech for the first time a few months ago when they announced this MiNi3D Pro 3-axis gimbal. Frankly, at least in photos, it seemed to be a product of high quality. I started to search for more information about it by looking for Feiyu Tech FY MiNi3D reviews and YouTube test videos. I rarely purchase...
Foxeer Legend 1: Lightweight camera for drones
It seems I have reached the end of my small form-factor camera road map. This Foxeer Legend 1 is the last model from the "Mobius family" which I have to review. It will definitely be hard for this Foxeer camera to fight with the features of the new RunCam 2.
In my opinion, the biggest challenge of the FPV camera manufacturers...
Eachine H8C Mini: Cheapest quadcopter with camera in 2015
Newbies are always looking for affordable models with an onboard camera so this new Eachine H8C Mini quadcopter seems to be dedicated to them. It has a nice design and an extremely attractive price.
Eachine had great success, with the previous H8 model being probably the only multi-rotor sold under $13. To attract even more customers, they released this new...
RunCam 2: Lightweight camera built for RC drones
If I count correctly, this RunCam 2 will be the 7th quadcopter camera that I'm been reviewing. Honestly, I haven't yet found a camera that offers brilliant quality at an affordable price. Who knows, being the lucky 7th, this RunCam 2 will be the best camera for me :)
It would be nice to make a side-by-side comparison between this RunCam...
Runner 250 Advance racing quadcopter review
A few weeks ago, I've already introduced this Runner 250 Advance on my website. Ever since it was announced, it seemed like an exciting model. Adding GPS system to a racing quadcopter was an interesting movement from Walkera, although some pilots considered this an unnecessary one.
The previous "Runner 250" model proved to be a very popular racer. In my...
