Let's go

*Firstly, I am forced to apologize for my English level. It should be better. I’m working to improve it as soon as possible.

So let’s go. In the first post I am glad to tell the story about how I’m so interested about multicopters so far.

Everything began time ago, January the 6th. This date match with a Spanish Christmas tradition named “día de los reyes magos” (Three Kings Day). Then I have received my first quadcopter. My first impression the little toy doesn’t made me feel so fortunately. It was a little Syma X12S, white painted.

My first experiences were involved two short flights. Furthermore, my new little "friend" seemed to be damaged (it was). My first lookup made me feel that this play would be short in time. On the other hand, I had a previous related toy, a helicopter, that was boring almost from the beginning. Quadcopter seemed to be the same but ugliest one. 

Flight after flight and crash after crash I began to drive it quite better. It was so easier when I discovered that red leds matched with the “head” of the drone. Obviously, quadcopter it was most damaged anytime. Thus, it was a moment that I have took into account that I was totally dependent about my “ugly” toy.

Then I started to investigate online about my drone and any option that would me improve in the hobby. Little time later, I bought my second drone. This time an hexacopter branded JJRC H20. To my surprise, I have purchased it for very little money. How it was so cheap and so fun at same time?

My researches followed being more exhaustive, taking spare parts to each drone until the day I have discovered a new era for my spare time. Racer drones. It was unknown for me so far. It was all I love in same concept. I always do it myself pieces and my home needs and would be applied to my new passion, flying toys.

To be honest, my first purchases in racer drones was horrible taking into account I have bought a 250 frame but with f450 pieces (motors and ESC). So I was “forced” to built both types. Better to me of course. Evaded this problem, the hobby starts to be more comprehensible to me. Then I was aware about how involved I was. I was becoming an expert.

Further investigations showed me professional competitions. And there was the day, it was me, viewing a real quads competition. How exciting it was.

Then I was sure that this hobby will be linked to me for many more years.


Let’s go?

New challenges. Mini brushed quad. Coming soon.

Hello everyone. Free Drone Flyers Team just wants to post a short article to give you some approaches about the new challenges that are to come on the blog. We have minds on some new projects for the new year, even these two are currently starting. The first two, would be two quads mountings, based on spare parts, but both so different between them. First one will be a tiny FPV quad. It will be very useful in currently days, according the cold temperatures we are experiencing, which make us complicated to fly outside. Even more, it’s another way to practice to fly with FPV in a bounded environment, preventing injuries and big crashes. Will be based on Lantian 105 frame. To build it we would use new parts purchased on purpose to do it, but also with some spare parts previously got as spare parts of another previous quads, especially beginner ones used in first flights. Therefore, we would try to mount a tiny quad as cheap as possible, but also keeping ...

ND filter. Preview

Going ahead with reviews we have finally received ND filter. It’s not tested yet but I would try to show you my very first lookup. ND filter As discussed in the previous post, it is an alternative complement to sports cameras, different from the UV filter. Remembering UV one, it doesn't affect the images or logs at all, but I have noticed it's very useful in protection performance. ND filter,  instead , set some slight changes to video records. Protection performance is the same as UV, but introducing some improvements, such as jelly effect narrowing, for example. As is known, jelly effect is the feeling of keeping the trembling in the video recordings. First lookup Contrast inbetween is very evident in first view after checking these filters (ND and UV), due ND filter present a smoked plastic cover while UV it’s totally transparent. ND filter (left) vs UV filter (right) Manufacturing instead it’s almost the same. Both filters are almost twins...
