Cheerson CX-10A 2.4GHz 4CH RC Quadcopter NANO Drone UFO with Headless Mode

Fun product, charges in 25' and battery lasts for about 7. Easy to pick up how to use it. Fit in a pocket and entratain both kids and adults. This model does not allow using the controller as a charges, which is a bit of a downer. Going back I would have probably got the altitude controlled version.

This product was a ton of fun but the motor in one of my propellers stopped working within a half hour! I am returning it and giving the product another chance because of how much fun I was having in the brief period I was able to use it! I also purchased one for each of my brothers for Christmas! I really is a fun gadget!

This is my first drone copter, and overall, I'm satisfied with it. It's the drone itself charges through a usb cable in about 10-15 minutes, and the remote only takes 2 AAA batteries. The drone lasts about 10 minutes between charges, which is a good amount of time to play with it. But I haven't gotten to the point where i can keep it up in the air very long, so it's usually crashing after a minute, then I go grab it, bring it back, and start again. But this doesn't seem like one of those toys that requires a ton of batteries and drains them in a few minutes. I don't like that the calibration doesn't seem it will ever be right. I followed the set-up directions, and used the trimming buttons, but it always seems like the drone moves to one side, slightly. This might be common, and i think i'm able to counteract it for the most part as I fly. Maybe I'll get better with time and it will be less of an issue. I have 2 kids around 10 y/o who also enjoy playing with this. they are crashing it a lot, but it holds up no problem, which is the most surprising part. This little thing is pretty solid, and it hasn't even broken a propeller. It's nice that 4 extra propellers are included just in case. Would be nice if some sort of guard were included, since you WILL crash and bump this thing, but that will probably add weight, which will lower battery play time, and they seem sturdy enough as is. I've ordered a propeller guard accessory for only a few bucks, but may not ever use it.

The Cheerson Cx-10A is the upgraded version of the older Cheerson Cx-10. This version comes with the headless tracking mode which is accessed by pressing the left trigger in until it beeps 3 times. Compared to the Cheerson Cx-10 , this product replaces the 3rd speed mode with the headless mode, so if you're looking for more speed in your quadcopter I would advise to go for the original model. For the uninitiated, headless mode is when the quadcopter(or whatever you are flying) uses you as a point of reference for the directions. Away from the controller would be forward, towards the controller would be backwards. Rather than forward being to the front of the drone, and backwards to the back of the drone. Personally I don't find that the headless mode works very well, since no matter what I tried, forward would always be from the drone's perspective, but the drone itself is super fun to fly around. The propellers do break easily so I would advise to order propellers and prop guards along with your drone. I broke all the propellers that came with my drone in the first day! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to try out flying a drone for the first time or as a practice drone before getting a bigger one. After flying this drone outside many people find that the larger drones are much more manageable, since the heavier weight means that they don't sway in the wind as much. I don't recommend this drone for people who want to hot swap batteries or fly this outside since I believe the battery is soldered on to the main board. Flying outside is inadvisable because this drone is small enough to be heavily swayed by wind and the range of the controller is around 30 meters. tl;dr Pros: Small Good for indoor flying durable(except for propellers) Cons: Extra Propellers needed Need the purchase of prop guard so that the propellers break as easily Batteries cannot be hot swapped. Short 30 m range Harder to fly outdoors Basically if you're expecting to fly this indoors, buy this drone, otherwise look for bigger models.

I would say buy it. i got about 6-7 hours of great fun out of it with friends before it finally gave out. i crashed it HARD quite a few times, but what finally killed it was me taking the blades off to clean out hair, one of the motors would not spin fast enough after that. honestly the only down side to it is the long wait to get it, it ships from china

I just received this little guy...is so cute. It is fun zipping around the house with it and so far it's flying pretty smoothly and working fine. Note:this CX-10 required quite a bit of trimming out of the box but this may just be my unit, it may not be the case with others. Oh and I wish the battery lasted longer, only about 4.5 min. The CX-10 is so small and light that any breeze like and air condition vent will try to blow it away so it takes a little getting used to. Hovering can be challenging but after a few minutes you should be flying around causing havoc in no time. The CX-10 is great for those rainy days when you can't go outside to fly.

Kind of hard to fly, my kids crash on the roof within first 15 minutes of receiving the product. Still for the price I am still very impressed, just use in a field or something not safe for near houses. I would suggest to product to anyone for a really cool toy.

Exactly what I expected. It made it a few weeks before I completely destroyed it, but for the price it was an excellent deal. As a note, don't leave it plugged in and in unsupervised. My battery ended up exploding.

This is my first attempt at piloting a drone, so I decided to go with the highest rating/lowest cost. In particular, I picked up a CX-10A due to the available headless mode (and I don't see myself using the camera on the CX-10C too often). I've only had a few hours of practice with it (given that the little guy only flies about 3-4 minutes on a full charge). The learning curve was not as steep as I'd assumed, after getting the hang of ascending (i.e. no longer flying straight into the ceiling fan) I found the CX-10A has a lot of zip for its quaint physical size. A few of my buddies have the CX-10C and after a few test flights, I think they may be ordering the CX-10A! Not having a camera actually removes a considerable amount of weight and the CX-10A feels much more responsive as a result. This flyer has crashed into walls, various lamps, curtains, ceiling fixtures, gotten lost under couches, and through it all it keeps on flying! The non-prohibitive pricing really alleviates a lot of pressure when flying this in that if you do need to replace the device you're only coming out another ~$17. Worth the purchase as this is quite the time-killer when you're bored, and once you get the hang of it you'll be flipping and looping in no time!

Has taken a lot of damage flying into things, and falling. The drone is very fast, and the controller is kinda too sensitive (but you can get used to it). my only major complaint is that the lights are opposite from my other drones (Blue in front/Red in back).

great starter drone for practicing flying. You need extra propellers!

Not bad for price. My smart kid put a propellar in the wrong spot after cleaning out hair and it wouldnt fly..he figured it out after stubbornly reading instructions. But having a dog with long hair really ruined the fun. Every time it landed it mangaged to find a hair and have to be taken apart. But like I said not bad for the price. Weve boughten many cheap helicopters that break after 1-3 crashes - this holds up to abuse for the size and cost.

This product was great,the only problem is that it is hard to control and one of the blades would not work even after I replaced it,but overall it is still great to have.

These things are a ton of fun to play with

Great seller!

I have been flying for a couple weeks, and am satisfied with the quad, especially for the price. Have had no mechanical problems, and it is fairly stable. the ability to reset the gyro is a big plus. Not a lot of fly time from battery, but battery charges fairly quick. My biggest problem and the main reason that I didn't give this unit a five star rating, is the difficulty I have in holding it at a level height. No matter how I try to adjust the stick it seems to want to go up or down and not hold a level flight. So far it seems to take a lot of abuse and still get up and fly. It really goes up quick if your not careful. All in all it has been a lot of fun and for such a small quad and it fly's pretty good. Does great tight little flips in any direction at just 2 feet of the floor. It might not be the best quad to learn on, because its fairly touchy, but if you've had some experience it's a great little toy for playing in the house.

fun like it, as good as expected

It's ok like it, as good as expected

This great little toy is pretty much exactly what I expected, definitely worth the money. It has an impressive flight-time to battery-charge ratio (~5 mins. flight / ~ 10 mins. charge) and some fun pre-programmed flips it can do (forward, backward, left, right). I bought this quadcopter about a month ago to use as practice to get accustomed to the controls (so I didn't have to crash a more expensive quadcopter while learning), and it worked better than I hoped. After only a few days of flying the CX-10A regularly, the controls became second nature, and transitioning to flying a larger quadcopter was seamless. Based on the reviews of the CX-10 (previous model), I think I would prefer the old flight modes (3 different levels of sensitivity), rather than 2 levels of sensitivity and 1 headless mode (which I never use), but to each their own. Minus one star for the back right LED which didn't work when the CX-10A first arrived. Upon further inspection, it was just a poor solder job and I was able to fix it myself by carefully adding some solder through an opening in the cover (didn't have to take anything apart). Make sure to buy some replacement propellers for the inevitable crashes (they are very easy to replace).

Very cool and easy to fly
