Cheerson CX-10W review
Cheerson CX-10w is the smallest FPV drone, it is evens smaller than a child’s hand! And still it flyes very well with lot of amusement for the pilot, even the one with no flying skills. It is as small as full of technology! It has WIFI control function and it comes with a 0.3 mega-pixel 720p camera that can trasmit live to your phone what is seeing (FPV).
It is a brand new version, an upgrade of the previous Cheerson CX-10, with new features like wifi, FPV camera, and the controlling system, no more a small RC but your own phone.
The CX-10W can be controlled via an APP that you can install on your Android or iOS smartphone. It creates a WiFi hotspot of its own that you can connect to using your smartphone. Your phone can now be used as an FPV monitor as well as a controller. Getting used to controlling the drone via your phone’s motion sensor takes a while, but can be a lot of fun, especially during parties and such. And it can make funny 3d flips just pressing a button!
If you never tried to fly a quadcopter, or you want to surprise your kids, this cheap model is perfect for increasing your flying skills. With this Cheerson CX – 10W you can fly indoor, with no risk for you or your kids, as it is very light and its propellers are small, soft and unharmful.
It comes in 3 funny and good looking colors: pink, gold and silver.
You can control the small drone using your phone
The total weight is around 15 g, so very light and unharmful. The material used for this model is ABS Aviation material. Wingspread is 30 mm in diameter; quite small, but quite enough for indoor usage.
The flying time is 4-6 minutes, but it can increase if you don’t use the recording function during flight.
It is equipped with a 0.3mpx camera, the fun thing about it is that you can see what the camera sees directly on your smartphone’s display. So you can make it fly and watch the drone, or see with it’s eyes watching the phone. So you can go below tables, doors, in other rooms, and still be able to pilot the drone even when out of sight. The wifi has a range of 15m.
A user manual is provided, to help you in finding your way around the model, including additional four spare blades and a USB charging line.
Controller or transmitter is your smartphone. Just install the Android or IOS application and you are ready to go. That is a plus for this model since it makes the user experience very interesting. The quadcopter and your smartphone are connected through Wi-Fi network, with a controlling range from 15 m; to a maximum of 30 m. Cheerson CX-10W is also able of doing 3D flips, which is very hard to master.
Flying skills requirement
Cheerson CX-10W is very simple to fly, you won’t need special skills to use it. This model hasn’t advanced flying capabilities like more expensive and bigger drones, so you have to control just front and back directions, ascend, descend, turn left, and turn right functions. It is suitable for everyone, with or without experience in flying big or small drones. Your kids will love it, and you will do the same! It is perfect for indoor flight, parties, doors outside with no wind.
