The Xiaomi Mi Drone 4K needs no introduction; it is one of the best value-for-money Ready-To-Fly camera quadcopter on the market today. It features a strong yet light aircraft body comprised of foldable landing gear and removable camera/gimbal, making the quadcopter easier to carry.

JJ R/C H30c Review

The JJ R/C H30c is an affordable mini quadcopter that features an onboard 2MP camera. The H30c – together with the H20 hexacopter – represents the new design mantra of JJ R/C; this time they’ve created a design of their own instead of cloning or rebranding an existing design. Although the H30c looks like a mini version of the Lily quadcopter with the cute eye-marks on the front, the similarities end there. The review model is the red version.

The Daming 007 ‘Spy’ (DM007) is an affordable toy-grade quadcopter featuring a gyroscope stabilization system on 3-axis (6-axis as manufacturers like to advertise), that comes in a complete Ready-To-Fly (RTF) package. Underneath the quadcopter canopy, a 2MP camera is mounted (it is removable) capable of shooting video and taking photos in HD resolution. The DM007 is available in two colours - black and white – where the black one has a more aggressive look; however, the white version is advised if you plan on doing night flying. The review model was the black version. This is the upgraded version.

The Eachine H8c is an affordable toy-grade quadcopter featuring a gyroscope stabilization system on 3-axis (6-axis as manufacturers like to advertise), that comes in a complete Ready-To-Fly (RTF) package. Inside the quadcopter canopy, there is an HD camera (with microphone) that is capable of video and picture recording (the camera can take pictures while recording video). The H8c is available on two colours, white and black, with the black version having a “mean” look while the white one is more suited for night flying. The review model was the black version.

Mounting a RunCam2 HD on a Flying3D X6

Recently a RunCam2 HD arrived at my door. You can read a detailed review here, together with a comparison test against Mobius C2 and Xiaomi Yi. The most obvious thing to do was to mount it on my 230mm quadcopter, the Flying3D X6.

YiZhan/JJRC Tarantula X6 v686g FPV camera mod

The YiZhan/JJRC Tarantula X6 is an affordable brushed quadcopter suitable for fun flying. The quadcopter has a camera port but the stock camera (comes in two versions, 2MP and 5MP both non-FPV capable) leaves a lot to be desired. As I already had the JJRC v686g quadcopter, the possibility to use it’s 2MP FPV camera with the Tarantula came in mind.

MJX X101 Camera Stabilization Mod

The MJX X101 is an affordable toy-grade quadcopter primarily designed to carry a camera. The standard package includes a battery/camera mount that is attached under the center of the canopy via screws and uses damping balls to compensate vibration. Although the design is sane, the way the battery cradle is mounted makes the whole construction vibrate to the horizontal axis; the vibration is especially noticeable when yaw is applied, as shown in the following video.
