Free samples of every Aomway product — we ship, you test honestly, you publish the results. Tell us who you are and what you fly. If it is approved, the sample and the freight are on us. In return, you publish a test video and a written post about how the hardware actually performed. We would rather you fly our gear than read about it. Why We Are Doing This Aomway has been building FPV and UAV video links, antennas, optical modules and payload hardware for fifteen years. In that time we have learned one uncomfortable thing: the most useful
