The best thing about the first generation EV800 headset was the fact that they can convert between FPV googles and a monitor giving you the best of both worlds, hence the name FPV moggle. Now there is a new release which adds DVR functionality and diversity receivers. But does having the dual use functionality mean they are just average at both? (more…)
Don’t be fooled by the size of the Falcon 120, it will easily scare onlookers as you screech past them! The new Falcon 120 is a dangerous combination of new technology that might blow you away if you are new to this field! The Falcon 120 is the most compact quad I have seen in a while with a smart design using a 4-in-1 20A Cicada ESC, SP F3 flight controller and PDB is one tower stack.
