Syma X5sC-1: Stylish Drone for Beginners
All the kids are now back to school, and the parents (ok probably only the dads :)) will have more time to play with their favorite remote-controlled toys. Yesterday was my 6-year-old son's first school day, he looks very enthusiastic, I'm curious if he will continue this way until he graduates college. We had a few agitated days with...
Syma X8W: Big DJI Phone like drone with WiFi FPV
I tested lately a lot of small and beginner quadcopters and finally, I received a bigger one, the Syma X8W, which is probably one of the best mid-range quadcopters. Small quadcopters are good for indoor fun, beginner pilots, practicing, etc. The mid-sized quadcopters are an intermediate step to professional ones as they can do almost all the tricks and...
Blackview Hero 1: A cheap GoPro alternative
These kinds of action cameras, like the Blackview Hero 1 are beneficial also for everyday activities as well as for outdoor sports. As they are very lightweight, they can be suitable for installing on a quadcopter for capturing amazing aerial videos and photos.
Everything started with GoPro cameras which were the first to have very good image quality and enough...
Eachine H8 Mini drone: A true fun for beginners
As I remember, I paid $60 for my first multi-rotor. I never thought a quadcopter could be much cheaper until I learned about this Eachine H8 Mini that costs only $13.99. Yes, I didn't mistype the price, and yes, the prices include free shipping. If you don't believe me you can check by yourself on Banggood's website.
Before the H8...
Tarantula X6 drone: The big flying flying spider
I got this new quadcopter last Friday, but only today I had the time and the proper mood to write about it and make my Tarantula X6 review.
Hearing the word "Tarantula", my thoughts immediately go to a spooky hairy spider. The engineers from JJRC tried to imitate the face of a spider in the cockpit design, and I think...
FQ777-124 Pocket quadcopter
FQ777-124 the ultimate micro quadcopter
Micro quadcopters like this FQ777-124 are appreciated because they are affordable and very portable. For newbies I always recommend to buy something not expensive and easy to fly. Crashes always happen and it's not a good idea to hit the ground with a $999 DJI Phantom 3.
There are many small quadcopters on the market that are sold very well because they are accesible to every one, they...
EKOO S090 mini quadcopter camera
I have more than five mid sized quadcopters with stock cameras from 0.3 to 5MP, honestly there is not much image quality difference between them. Lots of times it happened to go outside an play with one of my quad and at the end, when I wanted to download the pictures, I realized that I either forgot to put in the...
Syma X13 Miracle review
Syma X13 Miracle mini quadcopter
I started my journey in the world of quadcopters with probably the most successful Syma model, the X5C. At that time I opted for that multi-rotor instead of other ones because it seemed reliable and affordable. The time has proven that it was a good choice so I ordered with confidence this new Syma X13...
Airport Helipak backpack for DJI Phantom drones
Can one backpack be fit for all your gadgets (DSLR and GoPro camera, Laptop, and quadcopter)? Until I found out about Think Thank Photo's new Phantom Airport Helipak, I did not think this is possible.
I started my journey in the world of quadcopters one year ago, and till now I haven't thought to do anything about solving the quadcopter...
Eachine 3D X4 quadcopter review
Honestly, when the Eachine 3D X4 was announced, I was not interested at all in this model, I thought it was just a toy for kids.
A month ago, I was contacted by Jacky from Banggood to review this model. Initially, I hesitated, but after I found out more about this mini quadcopter's flight performances, I finally accepted his offer mainly...
Keecoo quadcopter camera review
There are several small cameras on the market, so why Keecoo and not GoPro or other similar action cameras?
I want it something cheap, lightweight, with good video quality and decent battery life. My plan was to use the same camera for hobbyist aerial filming and first-person view flights. Of course, for FPV, I needed a camera with AV-out.
GoPro cameras...
