Cheerson CX - 10 Portable Micro RC Drone - RTF

1) Extremely durable chassis: I have crashed this little guy in to many different elements and materials,nothing will stop this mini rock star!
2) Indoor/Outdoor Flyer: I learned to fly this quad inside which is quite difficult and I don't recommend learning indoors unless you have a nice size room.I will say that if you learn all the basic maneuvers and simple tricks indoors you will be a "HOT SHOT PRO" outdoors weather permitting.
3) Incredible Fun Factor: It took me three days to acquire enough skill to be able to make the Cheerson CX-10 do exactly what I wanted(almost ;),but once i did all FUN broke loose! I set up obstacles indoors for myself. Outside, I followed a bewildered squirrel high into a tree on my front lawn. I chased my cats around the house. This lil guy is fun and a FABULOUS quad to learn on.
4) Attention: Some may see this as a con,but I am a social person and I also want to help make people comfortable with quad AKA DRONES. I want to show people they are mostly for entertainment. Even this fast,high flyin' micro drone is tiny,boy does it get attention. I've had at least a dozen people walk up to me and ask "what is that thing???".
5) Upgradeable/Fixable: If you are having any fun with your quad you can expect to break propellers. If you break no props then you are having no fun my friend. If you use your quad often you will have to charge your battery many times. After a while you will have to replace the battery.Thankfully,GEARBEST has all replacement parts you need for the CHEERSON CX-10. Everyone should have&

Suggestion

1) Shipping time: For some,this may not be a problem,but I caught the drone bug and I wanted my drone yesterday! My quad took almost three weeks to arrive from CHINA. Since I have ordered my Cheerson CX-10 Gearbest has stepped up to the plate by offering multiple shipping regions.Now if you want your drone fast you can order from a US warehouse.You pay a few bucks more but you get a lot faster.
2) Manual/Instructions: The illustrations included in tiny booklet are well done,but could be much better.my big problem was the chinese to english translated manual. After a while I figured everything out,but the manual would often confuse me on at least three different quad movements or features.

This was a flynomenal find!!! Sooo affordable, cool design (check out the pics) and durable even my 9 and 11 year old girls bought their own collection and haven’t managed to totally destroy them, even while learning to fly them. Now they can easily navigate the entire house, do flips, pirouettes and spirals.
This is a niiiice gift for young and old. And they have both “girl” and “boy” colours. Even the packaging is kind of cool, so no wrapping paper required, it presents itself very elegantly in the transparent box. And, the packaging is small enough, even when one buys two, to get delivered straight into ones mailbox directly, no large parcel pick up at the PO.
The battery life for flight time is good, just under 5 min, and the recharge time is short too, under 15 min and easy to undertake. Easy to learn how to fly and so small you can take it anywhere. The blades do take a bit of a pounding when flying recklessly, but they are very simple to replace and the spares come with the quad. Just make sure you put the correct blade on the corresponding motor, because there are two types.
One can purchase this product with confidence and really have fun putting it though its passes or just relax flying around peacefully with others.

Suggestion

After a month of flying, none yet.

This is a great little nano quad and Gearbest has been great to work with. I had ordered the Cheerson CX 10 because of the great price of $16 for such a quad, other sites had it for more and other quads of this size were also closer to $30. I put in my order on January 2, 2015 and the order was shipped on January 5. I didn't pay for shipping so it came standard mail, which only took 15 working days to get to me. Not bad since it came all the way from China to the United States. When it arrived the package was in great shape and the product inside was intact and I found it to be undamaged. I opened the package and read the instructions which were easy to follow and after a about 15 minutes of charging the battery I was up and flying. THIS LITTLE QUAD IS AWESOME!! I love the responsiveness and the ease of flying. It is a lot of fun to fly and since it was under $20 dollars it a great way to learn to fly quads with out the greater expense of others in this field. I HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS QUAD TO OTHERS TO LEARN WITH!

Suggestion

Controller a little small but I haven't had any real issues with it. Trimming buttons a little hard to get to, but after a few times of using them it get easier to find and use.

1. Control - easy to control and responds accurately
2. Size - its small size makes it good for indoor flights
3. Price - affordable
4. Shipping - shipment took only around 2 weeks (at least here in the Philippines)
5. Charging - fast, charges around 5-7 minutes
6. Other features - comes in four different colors, transmitter and quadcopter fits inside the pocket
7. Accessories - available propeller guard, sold separately at http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters-parts/pp_157900.html

This is hands down the cheapest and best nano quadcopter any beginner should have.

Suggestion

1. Control - sometimes you need to land the drone first to make adjust to the next flight mode
2. Size - its small size makes it a bit difficult to fly outdoors specially when it's windy
3. Other features - does not come in black
