Drones or quadcopters are readily available in many countries, for example from DJI and other notable brands. Models like the DJI Mini are essentially flying cameras that can be used to capture footage which previously could only be produced by helicopters, making it much less complex and expensive.

With that out of the way, a new FPV drone called the Nazgul Evoque F5 V3 is now available at Banggood for prices starting at $583 without or $610 with a GPS module. The usual pitfalls of direct imports apply, enforcing warranty rights might be difficult, for instance. Either way, this drone is specifically designed for direct control by using suitable goggles, such as the DJI Goggles 3 that can be found on Amazon. The maximum transmission range is 5 miles.

Additionally, the manufacturer claims a top speed of 118 miles per hour, which suggests the drone could also be suitable for racing. The Nazgul Evoque F5 V3 further has a flight time of up to 13 minutes, which would be rather short for a typical quadcopter used for aerial photography. Equipped with the DJI O4 Air Unit Pro, the drone significantly exceeds the usual 250-gram threshold with a take-off weight of around 736 grams, which has legal implications in many regions. Nevertheless, even lighter drones cannot be used everywhere.

The internal storage offers a capacity of 4GB, but an additional microSD can be inserted. The drone’s camera utilizes a 1/1.3-inch sensor and can record video at-Full HD resolution and 100 frames per second. Picture quality should be decent even in less than optimal lighting conditions.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
