The small size doesn’t affect the power it can handle. It can handle sufficient power. It is made purely for fun. Here we will talk about Cheerson CX10 in detail. After reading this, you will know if this device is worth buying for you.

Our Verdict

The Cheerson CX 10 is a very affordable drone. And despite everything, it can go in the air with agility and has great balance and stability. If you need something recreational, this is a must-buy for you. It is so small that it can fit perfectly on your palm, and there will still be spare space left. It might not be very durable and might have some connectivity problems. Despite that, I think that it is a great product.

Design

The design of Cheerson CX 10 is a true form of art. It has everything that a drone should have. The additional three pieces of landing gear literally make the design more special. The device weighs around 15 grams. Even though it is extremely light-weighted, it is fortunately quite stable on flights. Moreover, this device balances on a 6-axis gyro. This makes this toy even more fun.

The body is made of plastic. The plastic used is very durable and can survive many crashes. Although, a crash on rough terrain can affect the body of the drone. So, people recommend using it for indoor purposes. It is highly compact and very tiny. It can even fit in the palm of your hand. You can put it in your palm, and there’d still be spare space left; it is so small and simple. With a white lower body and any bright color on the upper body, this drone works wonders. There is a Cheerson logo in the middle of the device.

It has white propellers. You get some extra as well in the box. There are LED lights below them. 2 of them are blue in color, whereas the other 2 are red. This will help you know which side is forward and backward while the drone is in the air.

You get a short charging cable in the box. It has a bespoke connector on one end and a USB Type-A connector on the other. You can charge it using anything. You can use a laptop or even the adapter of your mobile to charge it. However, the short wire can be a problem while using a mobile adapter.

Hence, we can say that it has a beautifully crafted design. It is an aesthetic drone that you are definitely going to love.

Flight

The method of setting this drone is the least complicated. At first, you have to turn on the controller. When the controller has been turned on, you have to pull the joystick located on the extreme left. You have to pull it down completely, and then you have to push it upside and then back to the bottom. Once you do this, the controller will make a beep sound. This beep sound will indicate that the drone is ready for its first flight.

This is a drone. You will want to come back to everything. It gives such smooth flight performance that you will never be able to get over it. It is not only simple but also so easy to fly and so much fun. Even though you get a less amount of flight time, but you will surely love it.

You get three flight modes in this drone. Each mode is completely different from the other. Every mode has different performance levels. The ” beginner,” “intermediate,” and “advanced” are the three modes of this drone. Ideally, you should start from the beginner mode. And then gradually switch to the intermediate and then the advanced.  The device is highly responsive in the advanced mode, and you need the practice to handle that. After practicing on beginner and intermediate mode, you will be able to use the advanced mode.

The range of the drone is quite limited. It becomes harder to spot the drone if it goes away too far. That is why it is considered to be an indoor drone. The small size makes it difficult to spot it. Moreover, it doesn’t have “wind-proofing.” This means that the drone has no control over it, and a strong wind can carry it away and even lead to loss of signals. At a 12gm weight, it is quite obvious.

The sound produced while flying this drone is very annoying. It feels as if a bee is constantly buzzing near your ear. So, it can get quite annoying for people when you are flying it indoors. You can not call it loud, but you can’t ignore it either.

Camera Quality

Unfortunately, Cheerson CX 10 doesn’t come with a camera. It is solely developed for fun. Although, the latest version, which is Cheerson CX-20, comes along with the camera. But the camera is not very good and can not be used for commercial purposes.

Battery

This device comes with a 100mAh battery inside it. This battery is supposed to last for 7 minutes. It will work for 7 minutes on the beginner mode. The time will be reduced in the intermediate mode and further reduced in the advanced mode. It might last only for 3 to 4 minutes in advanced mode when you will be performing stunts.

You can also do moddling in swappable batteries with this model. However, some electrical expertise is required for the same. If you don’t want to use such a mod, then the battery charging time will vary between 20 to 40 minutes. It totally depends on the charger you are using.
