XDynamics EVOLVE - Prosumer video drone

The new EVOLVE video drone from XDynamics is a interesting new product, XDynamics is have stepped away from the race to the bottom that currently drives the drone market, and instead they have aimed to product a higher end product, think leica vs panasonic profiling,  they have produced a immaculately manufactured carbon fiber drone with interchangeable cameras, which come supported by US tech-support.  click through to see how this stacks up.

GDU 02 - the new backpack friendly drone from GDU

The 02 is finally shipping and available for around $720 on the internet.  
The GDU 02 is a radically different design than the first GDU product, but it maintains GDU's tradition for doing things a bit different, while delivering a fairly respectable compact 4K video drone that packs up nicely without any loose props or controller sticks.

DYS 230 = well flying and cool design but overpriced

DYS just released a new cool little "drone" with a form factor that I feel is very relevant to the future of consumer video drones.

RUNNER 250 - Walkera goes racing

Maybe the fastest growing RC sport right now is FPV RACING.. common we all wanna race.  the bread-n-butter of racing have become virtually indestructible 250 size FPV quads.  simple, powerful, and equipped with a FPV camera & transmitter.

Now Walkera have gotten onboard with their first 250 size racer. fully specked with OSD and the works.  This could be big, because until now racers have been made by niche companies.  Click through and see how this stacks up.

Yuneec Q500 - The $1299 new kid on the block rocks it. *mostly

Last year Yuneec Eletric Aviation teased us with a sweet little video quad and a pro-level 900 size video platform.  Ive been blogging about multirotors for the last year or so, and have already learned that about 80% of the teased copters turn out to be nothing more than.. well hot rumors.

So. what about the new Yuneec q500?  its very real, and its flies great,
