Eachine M80S review: All you need from your first RTF FPV drone
The Eachine M80S is an excellent micro RTF FPV drone that’s easily capable of both indoor and outdoor flights. Thanks to the altitude hold feature it is suitable for first-time pilots, but enabling Acro flight mode will bring fun for advanced pilots as well. Although it's on the market for couple of months I hope my Eachine M80S review will reveal...
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 E55 review: Ultra compact sElfie drone
Tiny cameras that can fly still seemed like a sci-fi dream just a few years ago, but with Eachine's new E55 quadcopter, the future has arrived, and it's dirt cheap.
Cheap flying cameras like Eachine E55 are very often called "Selfie drones", but this is a bit exaggerated. The truth is that you can't buy anything under $500 in compliance...

Cheerson CX-17 Cricket quadcopter review
I went for a walk recently in the nearest forest, excited to enjoy some fresh spring air and beautiful flowering trees. In one pocket I had my smartphone. In another, I had a mini-quadcopter, the new Cheerson CX-17.
I like these small drones because you can take them everywhere with you - to the park or even to the office....
Yuneec Typhoon quadcopter backpack review
Large quadcopters are beautiful in the high sky but become complicated when it comes to their transportation. Without a nice and comfortable quadcopter backpack like this Realacc, it is very difficult to carry the drone to the flight zone in the original box. Especially when you are on foot.
When I received the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K for review I was...
I’ve been testing the Jumper T14 for 2 weeks – here’s the pros and cons
The Jumper T14 is the company's third radio controller reviewed here on FirstQuadcotper. The T14 is a mid-level transmitter with a built-in 1W ERLS module. It adopts RadioMaster Boxer and TBS Mambo-like form, factor, and layout. Not everything about the T14 is whoa-inducing; it lacks flight mode buttons, and the antenna is not removable for upgrade purposes.
JumperRC released the...
Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro: Goodbye my old 3D printer
The new Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro 3D printer has some exciting features that make it the dream tool of any drone builder. It allows you to print all the necessary parts in the comfort of your garage. The most significant advantage of the N3 Pro over my previous printer is that the direct drive extruder allows using flexible filaments...
GoPro HERO9/10/11 filter kit from K&F Concept
During my experience with FPV drones, I've learned that filters are crucial when trying to get smooth cinematic footage, but it is important to choose the correct filter and camera settings.
Neutral density (ND) and circular polarization (CPL) filters are a must-have in order to capture professional footage with GoPro Hero Black action cameras. The K&F Concept Nano-X filter kit...
Eachine DVR03 review: Camera, VTX, Antenna and DVR
Eachine DVR03 FPV camera with integrated DVR (video recorder)
At first, impression, adding video recording feature to an FPV camera sounds very good. Using the Eachine DVR03 camera you will not need any additional device to capture the journey of your flight. Yes, this is great, but think about you crash on a river and your videos are gone.
Over the last...
Eachine Q90C drone review: My first Flying Frog :D
When it comes to design, drone manufacturers always try to surprise us. A good example is the Eachine Q90C, which copies a flying frog. Don't be afraid; even if the fuselage is transparent, you will see through only electronic parts, not anatomic organs :D
Eachine announced the Q90C FlyingFrog in two variants: with and without FPV goggles. Surely, for the...
