Price At $1259: DJI Drones Shelves Apple Store

The emergence of UAVs, greatly reducing the cost and risk of aerial photography. Are you remember the series of Apple shuttle headquarters construction progress video that updated frequently? They are all with the help of a professional drones to shoot. Now, you can also buy such professional unmanned aerial vehicle in Apple retail store. WEI FENG network said that Apple has already begun to deploy DJI Phantom3 in their own retail store.


DJI Phantom 3 came from DJI Innovation Technology from China. With the help of three-axis stabilization system, this UAV carries 12 million pixel camera which can take 4K video in high sky without pressure. As a professional level UAV, the average of Phantom reach an altitude of 6000 meters, and up to 23 minutes of flight. The user can get previously unimaginable image data during this time.


DJI Phantom comes with a remote  control, but you cam control ( need to download the appropriate software) through the iPhone, and DJI has opened up the legal procedures used. DJI Phantom 3 is not the first newsstands on Apple retail stores, but it is the first professional level. Because before this, like Parraot AR Drone UAV can only be regarded as a toy no matter look from the appearance or function.


Apple retail stores will not only sells like the iPhone, ipod, Mac, Apple Watch which are their own products. Before Apple purchase beats, we also can see various third-party earphones in apple retail store.

Eachine Teardown: Inside the cheapest quad ever

The market has exploded with ready to fly quads and the eachine is setting its self apart by offering some great points of difference,

Spinning: The eachine is headless and spins faster then anything we have ever seen.
Price: It claims to be the lowest priced quad in the market and yet not the smallest.
We take a close up look at what is in the Eachine H8 and see what bang for your buck is waiting in this new mini quad.

Inside the H8

Opening up there are 8 screws, one near each motor and one on each corner of PCB. The case is 2 parts and once unscrewed the bottom detaches from the top. Like most in this size it is a single PCB and 4 motors all connected via solder joints, it has a unique star shape as the orientation LED's are solider right on the tip. No delicate pins or clips, it is simple to take apart.

The top board is packing most of the components, there is 3 main chips, 4 motor controller transistors and a frequency srystal that make up the complex flight control and receiver.

Invensence MPU 6050-A3 Axis Gyro and 3 axis acelerometer, used also in cellphones it combines both sensors in one chip. And can be sourced for about $6.

I wanted to do a basic component cost breakdown  but unfortunately we couldn’t find any info on the “F130GB SEP2666 AM1450″ or the “XN297 1443″, if you know, leave a comment and we will update the analysis.
The top board

Bottom side of PCB

The Battery
The great thing about the H8 is the removable battery, they are small 150mAh Li-po. That meas you can stock up quite cheaply and have a decent amount of flight time per session.


The controller

Similar to the Cheerson CX-10 on the outside, in the inside it also is quite similar and has the same cicuit layout. The main case is 2 pieces and held in by 2 screws on the back, the PCB is held tightly to the top controller case with 4 screws. I was a bit rough pulling off the joysticks abd broke the left stick.

If you are familiar with the controller antennae mod then this has a removable white plate that can easily be drilled or just simply removed to accommodate a longer antennae or by just bedning the internal wire straight. The quad does have this antennae wire so the mod can also be done to the top canopy by drilling a small hole and poking the antennae through.

Eachine are really pushing the value barrier as the pure cost of production, parts, packaging and shipping must cost less then $13. Even with massive economies of scale how anything could be turning profits for such a low price amazes me.

If you are gagging to try one yourself we have them here for less then $15. If you have something you want to see torn down or if you know more then me about some of these chips let me know. Happy flying.

Ten Uses Of UAV, There is always One beyond your imagination


Thanks to technological advances and the capital, consumer UAV presents an unprecedented development in recent years, but its uses is no single as you think, because in addition to the aerial, it still has a lot of interesting tricks can certainly bright blind your eyes!

UAV photography, new perspective of the world
In the first UAV photography contest which held by the "National Geographic" magazine, GoPro and other companies, Dendi Pratam from Indonesia had used captured the hover over the goshawk in Bali island national park, to show the unique perspective.

Forced the highest anodyne artifact
There is no doubt that UAV brings a new perspective in the field of undoubtedly. But the occasion to shoot landscape is much larger than selfTimer, so a product called Zano's Profile UAV was born, specialized in all kinds of self-Timer bloodsuckers.

Zano comes with Mini shape, weighs only 55g, good portability, you can put in inside your pocket. Although the size is small, but its performance is really advances and powerful, not only the fuselage built-in multiple sensors, even a 5-megapixel camera also blended in optical image stabilization technology, intelligent enough to use them.

London restaurant uses UAV sales sushi
A Japanese restaurant in London began to try to use drones to give their customers the sushi. There are two built-in cameras inside the UAV, so the employees can through the ipad to operate the UAV in the store.

Highway Monitoring
In the United States, crisscrossed with about 4 million miles of highway. Administration layer $ 75,000 grant for research UAV checking roads and bridges, laser mapping and alarm handling accidents.

Outdoor Emergency
In November this year the Dutch Alex Momont envisaged a UAV for first aid. It is the object services for the elderly with heart disease. When they fell to the ground because of the disease of cardiovascular, while others at a loss the UAV will take the drugs and equipment for emergency fly around the elderly, convenient others give first aid.

Track Oil Spill
Commercial manufacturing precision Hawk UAV company recently developed a UAV which can help ecologists or oil company to collect water samples,to help them carry out ecological studies or track oil spills.

UAV Delivery
Amazon UAV plans according to the amazon video on YouTube, and the drones of amazon’s imagine will uses GPS navigation, fly to send the books, food, and other small commodities to the doors of customers directly.

UAV mine, soldiers can rest!
After the civil war legacy of bosnia and Herzegovina mines will damage from time to time until now, it is said that the country now has about 120,000 mines buried in the ground. UAV company CATUAV, space-based services company Telespazio and the European Space Agency of the team is trying to use UAV to aerial detection in the mines of possible area.

Relief(military brother's plane is large!)
In relief, the UAV can also be widely applied, it can access to some dangerous areas to find survivors, such as earthquake or radiation area, to do some dangerous things instead of humans.

Do bad things
A few days ago a UAV carrying 6.6 pounds of methamphetamine, crashed in a Mexican supermarket parking lot near the California border, it serves as a reminder that drug cartel might like other industry or government departments it reminds people that drug cartels may be like other industry or government departments, non-use of increasingly popular HMI to engage in criminal activities.

Syma x5c Review

Today we will talk something about Syma x5c. It released out there on the market for some time. And the x5c is highly appreciated among many Aerial Novices and beginners.Most of them said that it is a cost-effective quadcopter.

Quality of the design
The design of the Syma x5c qudcopter, looks like an expensive DJI Phantom quadcopter such as DJI Phantom Vision or FC40 Model. The highlightng design components are Propeller Motif with LED Lights and all white body construction.You will find the included propeller guards very useful which are worth to install especially if you are new to flying a quadcopter.

Besides, we also recommed you to get an extra set of propellers on our website when you are about to buy a Syma x5c qadcopter. This propellers are very cheap. After that, the LED lights are palced beneath the frame to enable night flying. The green motors are placed for rear motors and forward motors are marked with orange LED's. However, these colored lights give little help for flight orientation during day flight. Unluckily, these lights cannot be turned off if you like the save the battery power of Syma x5c camera.

The remote Control transmitter
Another powerful features of the Syma x5c is that it comes with a 2.4GHz remote control transmitter.  However, the radio of the Syma x5c quadcopter is not one of those even though it has a balance flight behavior, general directional trim buttons, normal or expert mode button and a roll activation button.
It does not have a video/ camera button, but take videos and photos with the help of trim buttons. This quadcopter has up to 7 various buttons that are functionging. The controller can confortably fit into your hand and it needs a 4AA batteries to run. This is not included in the package and you may have to buy it separately.

The Camera
Camera is one of the key thing to consider in this article. It offer decent video and photo quality compared with other mini quadcopters out there on the market. You can transfer the record footage's into a 2 GB MicroSD card that comes mounted with the camera. The camera of the Syma X5C Quad is in a fixed place and cannot be moved as you can in an expensive model such as Dji Phantom Vision.

You can also unplug the camera from the motherboard and remove it with the help of screwdriver included in the package. You can do various Aerial Flips without any problem by just simply removing the camera from the device. Review Syma x5c tell that without the extra weight of camera, Syma X5C Explorers Quadcopter can run faster and respond to your control inputs effectively. These are some of the useful details based on Syma x5c Review.

Conclusion On Syma x5c Review
Syma x5c Review – Overall, flying with the Syma X5C Quad is really Entertaining, Fun and Enjoyable. It is very stable on the sky thank to the 6-axis gyro technology. You can do various stunts and flip maneuvers easily without having to mess around complex set of controls. This quadcopter is not 100% complete, but definitely worth giving a go for its amazing benefits and advantages.
