There is a great buzz going around about DJI and its recent release of some amazing quadcopters. Just this month it announced the new Phantom 4 Professional and the Inspire 2. Both of those quads are designed for professional image capture and will certainly cause a stir when they are released to the public. However, it’s the October release that everyone is now talking about. The DJI Mavic Pro is...

The Inspire 1 was a revelation when it came out, making it the first filmmaking drone in the world to integrate an HD video transmission system, a 360° rotating gimbal and a 4K camera. All of this was controlled on a single mobile device. It also introduced dual remote controllers – one pilot control and the other camera control. The Zenmuse X5 and X5R cameras released to be used with this q...

Eachine has really been working the FPV racing concept over the past few years. They keep coming out with new racers and new features trying to perfect the concept. They are on the hunt for the perfect aircraft, and that’s where they need to be. It’s a hunt that never ends, and it’s one that a lot of people are on. This hobby starts the same for almost everyone: you get your hands on an aircraft, ...

Introduction DJI has set an incredible pace for releasing products in the past two years. Just one year ago, in early 2016, they were offering the Phantom 3 series of drones to happy customers who were impressed and using them for many applications, including video production. Flash forward one year and DJI has released four new quadcopters, giving drone pilots many options for different types of ...

Introduction Quad rotor racing is becoming more and more popular, so it comes as no surprise that Eachine decided to get into the game with a new 250-size racer made for people on a budget. You can easily spend up to a thousand dollars on a nice racer, but if you want to get into the sport for less than 200 bucks, then the Eachine Racer 250 is perfect for you. It’s almost a ready to fly aircraft, ...

We all knew it was coming…a Nano racer from JJRPO. JJRC branched into JJPRO recently and started making racers. They made a few brushless racers that got mixed reviews; but with the rise in popularity of Nano racers, it was inevitable that we would see a Nano racer from JJPRO. It’s named the T1 because it’s the first Nano racer from JJPRO, and they put a lot of work into making something that coul...

The QX95 is designed for people who love to fly from the aircraft’s perspective, and it’s one of my favorite RC aircrafts of the year. Some people spend thousands of dollars a year on aircrafts and parts, and it can quickly become an obsession. When you fly an aircraft for the first time, you like the experience and want to try it again, and you keep looking for ways to improve on the experience. ...

 If you want speed, if you want sleek, and if you want cool, this is the racer you are looking for. A few months ago, I was in the hobby shop, and someone brought in a homemade 130-millimeter brushless racer. He was proud of it as well as the fact that there wasn’t anything like it on the market. That is, until now. People have been looking forward to Nano brushless quads for a while, but the smal...

If you’re a budding cinematographer, if you need an aircraft that can fly itself, or if you just like video games, you should check out the new CG035. Brushless GPS drones that can follow you are not a new concept, but they usually only follow people with money in their pockets. Plenty of aircraft can follow you around, land themselves, and hover in place. The difference between most of them and t...

Do you remember when you first learned to ride a bike? The world changed overnight, and it raced by you as the wind blew back through your hair. Your view of the world definitely changed. That’s what nano racing offers… a new view of the world. It’s a new way to look at things – a way for the world to become an obstacle course instead of just an obstacle. We’re going to talk about a few different ...

The Eachine Falcon 210 looks better on paper than it does in the air. At first glance, it’s a small, brushless quad rotor with lots of features from a popular manufacturer. When I first heard about it, I was intrigued. I was looking forward to flying it, but what I ended up getting was a lesson in construction. This aircraft is aimed at serious pilots with lots of FPV experience, and it’s specific...
