DRONEEYE 4DV14 Review

The DRONEEYE 4DV14 drone is good for adult beginners and kids. It also comes with some hands-free features for fun. If you are looking for an affordable quadcopter to learn how to fly, this one can help you.

This is a good drone for the money. However, it has its fair share of downsides. One of them is that the drone comes with a poorly written user manual. For a beginner, it can be hard to learn how to calibrate it and fly it for the first time.

Another common complaint is that the app is a bit clumsy to use for a beginner. It takes some time to figure out but once you do, you will unlock many flight functions for more fun.

The camera is a 1080P, so you cannot really rely on it to take good footage of your outdoor adventures.

This is no surprise since this is just a beginner camera, so you will eventually have to upgrade to a bigger one.

Autel EVO Nano Plus

Autel EVO Nano+ Review

The Autel Evo Nano Plus is a small but powerful mini drone. It has excellent features such as brushless motors, high capacity battery (s), and good build quality. The world-class camera sits on a 3-axis gimbal for stabilization. If you are a photography enthusiast, this is the camera drone for you.

The most outstanding feature in the camera is that it allows a lot of light to get to the sensor so that it can capture photos and videos in vivid colors. We shall look at more camera details later.

This is a good drone and it has quite a lot to offer, with some sources even saying that it has the potential to become the best mini drone of 2022.

Any drone, especially when new, always has issues. For this one, the first downside is the price and the high shipping fee. We say high because there have been firmware issues.

Another downside with this drone is that the app keeps making noise and sounds whenever you want it to do something. There is a constant beeping noise and voice directions telling you what the app is doing.

Skydio2+ Review

The Skydio2+ drone is made in the USA and it is going to set you back slightly more than $1000.

In the past, we have reviewed several high quality drones for aerial photography. These include the DJI FPV Combo, which sells at almost the same price.

Other dones that we have looked at include Yuneec Typhoon H Pro and some models from Potensic and Holy Stone, to name but just a few of them.

None of the drones we have reviewed in the past match the Skydio2 Plus when it comes to the combination of price and features.

The Skydio2+, this is a high quality quadcopter. It comes with many improvements on its predecessor. For instance, it has a longer flight range of 6000 meters. It also has better imaging qualities.

Above all, this drone is equipped with an excellent AI system for obstacle avoidance and autonomous flying.

Like every other drone, this 2022 launch also has its downsides.

For instance, the new features such as the KeyFrame have a medium learning curve. They look so easy to use on paper, but the reality on the ground is different.

Another thing is that a drone with such a long distance range does not have a geofencing feature. This can be troublesome for a beginner because the Skydio2 Plus can fly out of sight really fast.

The saving grace is that it has a built-in GPS so you can always bring it back home. There is really no danger of losing the aircraft even if it flies out of sight.

There are other cons that we shall look at later but the pros are still more than the cons. Keep reading to see its features and smart flight functions

This is an exciting adventure drone, but still, you don’t want to buy it without reading about its physical features, its camera, battery and all of its flight functions.

SMRC icat8

SMRC icat8 Review

SMRC usually offer their drone models with a good number of options. For instance, with the SMRC icat8, you can choose to buy it with one, two or three batteries, of course at different prices. You can also choose to buy it in black, silver or orange color.

This is the complete package since it also comes with a carry bag. If you order the package with two or three batteries, you will never need to buy anything else.

If you are an aerial shooting enthusiast, this drone might help you since SMRC says it comes with an 8K ESC HD camera. However, there is no way to verify this resolution. In the past, we did a review of the Autel EVO 2, which also comes with an 8K camera. It has a video resolution of 7680 x 4320P and a photo resolution of 8000 x 6000.

There are so many other good things going for this drone and it does cost a substantial amount of money. One downside though is that it does not come with a built-in rechargeable battery for the remote controller.

For the money you will pay and with the advanced features that the icat8 comes with, using 4 AAA batteries for the remote controller feels like a letdown.

Keep reading to see the other features that this quadcopter comes with, as well as its design and build quality.

NEHEME NH330

NEHEME NH330 Drone Review

Buying the first drone to learn how to fly is always a big decision. You do not know whether to go for a highly priced Potensic, DJI or Holy Stone, or to find the cheapest one in the market. Mostly, people want to start with something cheap and then after they cut their teeth in flying drones, they get a bigger one. If you are a beginner pilot or you want to get your kids started in the drone hobby, you might want to try the NEHEME NH 330 drone.

This is a small, actually, a nano drone. However, unlike many small drones that we review here, it does not come with a camera, which we think is a downside. In this age, everyone wants to get a footing in aerial photography. In any case, many mini drones, even some within this low price range come with cameras, albeit low-resolution ones.

Apart from that one downside, this pocket drone checks many boxes. Keep reading as we look at its features and technical details in the upcoming sections.
