Company details
Written by the company
Unmanned Tech is a UK-based specialist retailer for FPV drones, drone parts, and Maker / IoT electronics, serving customers across the UK and Europe and worldwide. We’re run by engineers and FPV pilots who actually use the products we sell which immediately puts us ahead of most drone shops that have never powered up a flight controller. We stock a wide range of FPV components including frames, flight controllers, ESCs, motors, VTXs, receivers, batteries, and accessories, alongside Maker and IoT electronics for prototyping, robotics, automation, and embedded projects. Whether you’re building your first quad, maintaining a fleet, or sourcing components for a commercial or research project, we can help, without guessing. Support is handled in-house by humans, assisted by AI ( because typing the same setup steps 400 times a week is how enthusiasm dies). First-line support focuses on fast, clear help and getting the right info from you; anything properly technical is escalated to someone who builds and flies drones for real. No outsourcing, no overseas call centres, and no copy-paste nonsense… unless the correct fix really is “turn it off and on again. We also support a large FPV and drone community through DroneTrest and our Discord, where pilots and makers share builds, fixes, and the occasional hard-earned lesson. From pre-sales questions to post-purchase troubleshooting, our goal is simple: get you the right parts, solve problems quickly, and get you flying with confidence. FAQ: Are you actually UK-based? Yes. We’re a UK company, ship from the UK where stated, and handle support in-house. No mystery warehouses. No vanishing after checkout. Do you only sell to hobbyists? No. We support hobbyists, educators, researchers, and commercial customers, including B2B orders and technical projects. What if something goes wrong with my order? We deal with it. Mistakes happen in any business the difference is we don’t hide from them, deflect blame, or pretend couriers are mythical creatures beyond human control. Why aren’t your prices the cheapest online? Because we answer emails, test products, stock spares, and provide support after you’ve paid. Ultra-cheap sellers usually stop caring at checkout.

Bought a Caddx Protos RTF kit on…
Bought a Caddx Protos RTF kit on AliExpress and it turned up without any batteries. I tried ordering direct from Caddx but the order got cancelled, then found Unmanned Tech the day before I was going to complete a return on AliExpress. Left a less than glowing review on AliExpress and pointed UK buyers to Unmanned Tach for the complete package as it's actually cheaper.

We really need to have a word with our marketing team if we're accidentally being cheaper than AliExpress, we’re clearly doing this "business" thing wrong.
Glad we could rescue you from a "Ready to Fly" kit that was actually just a "Ready to Sit on a Shelf" kit. Saving someone from the nightmare of an international return is a service we're happy to provide.
Cheers for the support!
Great retailer
Good web site, good stock, good price, exceptional service - ordered mid-day, arrived next day!

I think the warehouse team might have been actually running around for your order, they certainly didn't hang about. Glad the courier was just as caffeinated as we were to get it to you that quickly.

It’s a rare day when the courier moves as fast as an EMax servo, so we’ll take the win. Thanks for the order!
Wish I could rate 6 stars
Wish I could rate 6 stars. This company is absolutely amazing and I have had an above and beyond experience with them. Before ordering, I emailed them a few questions I had about a BNF o4 drone and quickly received an incredibly helpful and detailed response that helped me set the drone up after I received it.
Delivery was one day (as advertised, only for a few more pounds) and I have zero complaints. I strongly recommend this site to anyone, their team is very friendly and willing to help. 11/10 one of the best experiences I’ve had yet.

We’re already quite full of ourselves, so telling us we deserve 6 stars is dangerous territory for our egos. I’m just glad our technical rambling in that email actually translated into a flying drone rather than a confusing afternoon for you.
Cheers for the 11/10
Excellent quick service and delivery

Usually, changing an order mid-way is the best way to see how fast our packing team can run to catch the delivery van. Glad they made it in time! Cheers for the support!

A smooth Betaflight setup on the first go is basically a minor miracle in this hobby. We'll take the credit for the bubble wrap, but the technical success is clearly all you.

Best UK FPV shop
Best UK FPV shop! I ordered a micro XC30 adapter and even though it wasn’t in stock, they threw in another adapter so I could get flying straight away. Top tier customer service and really fast delivery. Highly recommend!

Clearly we're experts at having everything in stock except the one tiny bit you actually need. Glad the "Plan B" worked. it's definitely better than having a very expensive paperweight on your desk. Cheers for the support!

Really appreciate the shout-out. We put a lot of effort into staying competitive and quick, mostly because we know how fast drone gear tends to meet the pavement. Glad to have you on board as a regular, we’ll do our best to keep earning that 'what's not to love' status!
Great company if you're getting started
Great company to use if you're getting started.
They spend the time to try and make sure you're getting the right stuff, and have a good order hold system; for those times you order the wrong stuff before realising (everyone should have that fr, great feature).

Fast dispatch, fast delivery, twice in a row means the system is doing its job. Always good to hear when it works as intended.
Thanks for the A++ and for choosing us again
Speedy
First time getting into the FPV hobby, expecting to wait ~1week for delivery (especially as I was so excited I accidentally ordered 20 Lipo batteries and they swiftly replied to amend my order before it was dispatched in a very friendly manner) and this stuff arrived a day or so later.
Couldn't have been more thrilled to practice in a flight sim before crashing my Hummingbird v4.
Great customer service. Will definitely look to purchase from here again.

RadioMaster Pocket Crush controller
I bought up a yellow RadioMaster Pocket Crush controller. Site was easy to use, tracking system was clear about what was going on and it arrived quickly. Really happy so far and will use the site again when I need to get my actual drone.

The Pocket is a great choice, it’s one of those radios that quietly does everything right without making a fuss. Glad the buying side of things was painless too, that’s exactly how it should be.

FPV receivers ending up in 16mm gauge locos definitely wasn’t in the original design brief, but we love seeing gear used in creative ways. Really appreciate you sticking with us over the years. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a review!

We’d apologise for enabling your drone-bits habit… but we’d be lying. Delighted to hear the Crazyflie kit landed safely and did exactly what it was supposed to: steal your weekend and spark some tinkering.
