XLURC L106 Pro

XLURC L106 Pro Drone Review

The XLURC L106 Pro drone looks like a predator bug with the two LED lights at the top left and right. In addition, this is also one nicely packaged quadcopter and it comes with a storage bag.

The manufacturer also seems to have put in some good work in the camera. It comes with a three-axis gimbal that is further enhanced with EIS – Electronic Image Stabilization. When you fly a drone, there is bound to be a lot of shaking and vibrating. Without a gimbal or EIS, your aerial photos and film will have a lot of distortion.

In the upcoming sections, we are going to look at the features and flight functions that this quadcopter comes with.

That way, you will make up your mind whether this is the right quadcopter for you.

There is a small downside though. This aircraft is advertised as a 6K or 8K camera drone. However, the reality on the ground is different because the camera captures 1280 by 720P videos while the photo resolution is 3940 by 2160P (4K).

Whichever way you look at it, this is not 6K or 8K resolution.

Tomzon D30

Tomzon D30 GPS Drone Review

It is hard to find a small drone for grownups that really ticks all the boxes, but this one seems to do that. Of course, in this Tomzon D30 review, we shall be delving deeper into the features and technical details of this quadcopter.

Some time in the past, we reviewed the Tomzon D65 Drone, with its excellent 4K HD camera. We also confirmed that it comes with a true HD camera. Therefore, in this review for the D30, we shall do the same. We are going to see whether it has a true HD camera, whether it performs as advertised and so on.

Are there any downsides that you can expect? Of course, every product has its flip side and this one is not any different. For instance, there are no spare batteries and propellers. Therefore, if you crash it and it breaks these, that is most likely the end of your fight fun, until they bring others.

Keep reading so that we can see more about its features and functions.

Contixo F30

Contixo F30 Drone Review

Affordable quadcopters such as Contixo F30 keep getting better with time. For instance, this one is feature-rich with things such as 4K UHD camera, long battery time of 32 minutes from two batteries, an incredibly sleek and stylish design and many others.

In addition to the features that we shall look at later in deeper detail, this drone also has many flight functions. Therefore, you will have fun flying it whether it is your first or umpteenth aircraft.

However, as much as the F30 comes with many features and flight functions, there are also some downsides. For instance, you can only adjust the angle of the camera manually, meaning you have to bring the drone home first. For such a price, a remotely adjustable angle would have been much better.

Another thing that could be improved although it is definitely not a deal breaker is that this drone is too small. Actually, it is smaller than what you will see in the pictures.

Keep reading to see the features, specs, flight functions and many other things in detail.
