Drones

Join me today as I present a detailed review of the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K Quadcopter Drone. If you’re into drones, photography, or both, you’re really gonna love this aircraft! The Typhoon is big, it’s smooth, and it’s incredibly stable. It’s also so smart that it practically flies itself, freeing you up to shoot the most beautiful 4K photos and video imaginable. I’ve embedded a video in the blog to demonstrate these amazing imaging capabilities, so step on through the portal and see the results for yourself. I’m pretty sure you’ll be impressed!

  When it comes to the world of drones, there’s no shortage of available replacement parts to repair the various kinds of damage your model might receive, whether through an epic crash or ordinary wear and tear. But did you also know that there are numerous parts and accessories available which allow you to customize your drone and truly make it one-of-a-kind? Here are some cool drone accessories currently available at Best Buy, and some useful suggestions for customizing your own favourite drone.

DJI, one of the leading consumer drone manufacturers, didn’t show off a brand new model at CES this year, but did announce a couple of key upgrades to its current lineup. The Phantom 3, one of the best drones of 2015, now goes 4K in a consumer model, while the Inspire 1 Pro Black Edition changes the colour scheme and gets a new camera.

Comparing drones at CES isn’t really an easy task because they all generally do the same thing, albeit with a variety of technical differences that make them stand out from one another. Yuneec may not be a household name in this category, but with the Typhoon H, it’s taking on the best in the business in 2016.

Parrot has already shown its latest fixed wing Disco drone at CES this year, but there’s also the Bebop 2, a successor to the company’s previous quadcopter that came to Canada last year. Parrot did a neat synchronized demo with about eight of the drones at the company’s booth. A smaller frame and more capable flying mechanics make this an interesting unit.

Parrot is known for drones, and has generally stuck to the quadcopter design—until now. The Disco is a fixed wing drone that not only looks completely different from what came before it, but will also fly differently, too. The new model was showcased to a select group of journalists prior to CES, and I got some face time with it.

  For all of the Protocol Drone fans out there, today I bring you 2 drone reviews in a single blog. Join me inside as I examine both the Protocol Manta Pro-6 4-Channel RC Quadcopter & the Protocol Dronium Quadcopter Drone with Camera. The Manta Pro-6 is small, fast, and has a sleek & stealthy design. The Dronium, alternatively, takes beautiful HD photos & video, and it flies like a dream. Which drone is better? There’s only one way to find out: Click on through!  

Drones are quickly becoming one of the best all-purpose gadgets out there. Read on to find out about more of some of the best accessories for your drones.

If you enjoy flying remote controlled drones and pursue this activity purely for the pleasure and relaxation it brings you, then you probably won’t object to being called a drone hobbyist. And why not?? After all, drones can be a great deal of fun, and they also provide an optimal level of challenge to master, making them all the more enjoyable. So, if the term drone hobbyist describes you, then come along for a brief overview of 3 drones that are perfectly suited to your interest level. These drones are fun, affordable, and they pose enough of a challenge to hold the attention of even the most hard core of drone enthusiasts!

One of the things about flying a drone is that each flight seems to elicit something new. As drones become more sophisticated, they offer more each time in the air, adding to the payoff of learning and improving as a pilot. The DJI Phantom 3 is built to last, outfitted with some of the latest features any consumer drone can offer. I took it for a test drive for over a week, and shot a short video to go with it.
